Experiment and model for surface tensions of 2‑diethylaminoethanol‑N‑(2‑aminoethyl)ethanolamine, 2‑diethylaminoethanol‑N‑methyl‑1,3‑propane‑diamine and 2‑diethylaminoethanol‑1,4‑butanediamine aqueous solutions

Abstract

The surface tensions of 2‑diethylaminoethanol (DEAE)‑N‑(2‑aminoethyl)ethanolamine (AEEA), DEAE‑N‑methyl‑1,3‑propane‑diamine (MAPA) and DEAE‑1,4‑butanediamine (BDA) aqueous solutions have been measured by using the BZY-1 surface tension meter. The mass fractions of DEAE and AEEA/MAPA/BDA respectively ranged from 0.300 to 0.500 and 0.050 to 0.150. The temperature ranged from 303.2 K to 323.2 K. A thermodynamic equation was proposed to model the surface tension and the calculated results agreed well with the experiments. The effects of temperature and mass fraction of amines on the surface tension were demonstrated on the basis of experiments and calculations. The surface thermodynamics including surface enthalpy and surface entropy of blended amine aqueous solutions were also determined, and their temperature and mass fraction dependences were analyzed.
