ABSTRACT In this work, the densities of CO2-loaded and unloaded alkanolamine (1) + N, N-dimethylacetamide (DMAC) (2) mixtures were determined at temperature of (288.15 to 323.15) K and 101 kPa. The alkanolamines were primary amines, 3-amino-1-propanol (3A1P) and 1-amino-2-propanol (1A2P), and tertiary amine, 3-dimethylamino-1-propanol (3DMA1P). There CO2-unloaded 3A1P/1A2P/3DMA1P + DMAC binary systems with the whole concentration and two CO2-loaded 3A1P/1A2P + DMAC systems with alkanolamine mass fraction of (0.2, 0.3 and 0.4) were investigated. Based on the density values of CO2-unloaded binary systems, the thermal expansion coefficient ( α p ), excess molar volume ( V m E ), and apparent molar volume ( V φ , i ) were calculated and discussed in terms of intermolecular interactions and spatial structure. The V m E values were positive under the studied conditions and increased with the temperature, and the maximum followed the decreasing order of 1A2P + DMAC > 3DMA1P + DMAC > 3A1P + DMAC. Additionally, the V m E data were well fitted with the Redlich-Kister equation with a small standard deviation (σ ≤ 0.024). For the CO2-loaded systems, the density values were correlated with temperature and concentration using different empirical equations, and the average relative deviations (ARD%) were less than 0.299%.
