2-Aminoethanol (monoethanolamine) is widely used in the production of detergents, emulsifiers, pharmaceuticals, and corrosion inhibitors due to its combined amine and alcohol functional groups. It also plays an important role in gas treatment processes for the removal of acidic gases such as carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide from natural gas and refinery streams.
