Abstract
One of the ever-demanding research fields is the development of new solvents with better properties for mitigation of CO2 compared to existing solvents. This work reports the measurement and modeling of CO2 solubility in newly proposed aqueous solvent blends of 2-methyl piperazine with N-methyldiethanolamine (MDEA), sulfolane (TMSO2), and 1-butyl-3-methyl-imidazolium acetate ([bmim] [Ac]). The operating temperature and CO2 partial pressure conditions chosen were 303.2–323.2 K and 2–370 kPa, respectively. Along with this, qualitative 13C NMR and FTIR analysis were also performed to consider the proposed reaction scheme. The experimental vapor–liquid equilibrium data were modeled by a modified Kent–Eisenberg equilibrium model. The equilibrium constants associated with 2-methyl piperazine (2-MPZ) and [bmim] [Ac] deprotonation and carbamate formation reactions were regressed to fit the experimental CO2 solubility data. In addition, the CO2 cyclic capacity and heat of absorption were evaluated for the aq (MDEA + 2-MPZ) blend.
