Abstract

A headspace gas chromatography technique was applied to determine the solubility of carbon dioxide in aqueous solutions of 2,2‘-methyliminodiethanol (N-methyldiethanolamine, MDEA) at low gas loadings (at stoichiometric molar ratios of carbon dioxide to MDEA between about 0.003 and 0.8). A temperature range T ≈ 313−393 K was covered. The stoichiometric molality of MDEA in water amounted to about 2, 4, and 8 mol/(kg of water) (mass fraction of MDEA ≈ 0.192, 0.323, and 0.488). The partial pressure of carbon dioxide was between about 0.1 and 70 kPa. A thermodynamic model for describing the vapor−liquid equilibrium (which applies Pitzer's molality-scale-based equation for describing the Gibbs excess energy of the aqueous phase) is revised and extended using the new data.
