Energy relations in lead storage batteries

Abstract

In this work, the CO2 equilibrium solubility in 1-dimethylamino-2-propanol (1DMA2P) solution was determined as a function of 1DMA2P concentration (over the range of 1–5 M), temperature (in the range of 298–333 K), and CO2 partial pressure (in the range of 8–101 kPa), and the data used to fit the correlations for K2 using Kent-Eisenberg, Austgen, Li-Sheng and Hu-Chakma models. A new K2 correlation model was also developed to predict the CO2 equilibrium solubility in 1DMA2P solution. It was found that all of the models could fit the CO2 equilibrium solubility in 1DMA2P solution data with absolute average deviations (ADDs) for the models by Kent-Eisenberg, Austgen, Li-Sheng, Hu-Chakma and Liu et al. of 14, 15, 12, 6.3 and 10%, respectively. In addition, the heat of CO2 absorption in 1DMA2P solution estimated using Gibbs-Helmholtz equation was found to be −31.67 kJ/mol. Information or guidelines about effective utilization of data of screened solvents is provided based on three absorption parameters, namely, CO2 equilibrium solubility, second order reaction constant, and CO2 absorption heat.
