Abstract

Alkanolamine aqueous solutions are frequently used for the removal of acidic gases, such as CO[sub 2] and H[sub 2]S, from gas streams in the natural gas and synthetic ammonia industries and petroleum chemical plants. The solubilities of hydrogen sulfide in aqueous mixtures of monoethanolamine (MEA) with N-methyl-diethanolamine (MDEA) have been measured at 40, 60, 80, and 100C and at partial pressures of hydrogen sulfide ranging from 1.0 to 450 kPa. The mixtures of alkanolamines studied are 4.95 kmol/m[sup 3] MEA, 3.97 kmol/m[sup 3] MEA + 0.51 kmol/m[sup 3] MDEA, 2.0 kmol/m[sup 3] MEA + 1.54 kmol/m[sup 3] MDEA, and 2.57 kmol/m[sup 3] MDEA aqueous solutions. The solubilities of hydrogen sulfide in aqueous alkanolamine solutions are reported as functions of the partial pressure of hydrogen sulfide at the temperatures of 40-100C.
