18. A method of recovering carbon dioxide from a carbon dioxide-containing gaseous mixture, comprising contacting said carbon dioxide-containing gaseous mixture with an aqueous absorbent solution comprising:
-
from 10% to 90% by weight, based on the total solution, of at least one alkanolamine having from 2 to 6 carbon atoms, 1 or 2 hydroxyl groups, and a primary, secondary, or tertiary amino; and (ii) from 0.01% to 1.0% by weight, based on the total solution, of at least one quaternary ammonium salt of the formula - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44)
