Ammonium carbamate from diethanolamine for green foaming of polyurethanes with carbon dioxide
Diethanol ammonium carbamate (DEAC) was prepared by reaction of diethanolamine (DEA) with carbon dioxide. DEAC has onset decomposition temperature round 54℃. Addition of DEAC as reactive blowing agent into common rigid polyurethane foaming formulation gave foams with densities in the range of 90 to 150 kg·m-3 and compressive strengths in the range of 0.02 to 1.65 MPa. DEA can be used as CO2 absorbents in coal-burn power generation plant to reduce greenhouse gas emission. DEAC can be obtained as byproduct from coal-burn power station with low cost. This novel approach is environmentally friendly
cost effective and promising to open up a new platform for green foaming of polyurethanes.
