Method for treating an effluent stream generated by a carbon capture system

Abstract

A method for treating an effluent stream generated by a carbon capture system comprises contacting a cyclic amine-containing solution and a gas stream in the carbon capture system to remove carbon dioxide from the gas stream, the carbon capture system generating an effluent stream discharged from the carbon capture system; and subjecting the effluent stream to advanced oxidation. The method allows for treating effluent streams comprising cyclic amines so as to efficiently decompose the cyclic amines.
