Density and Viscosity of Partially Carbonated Aqueous Solutions Containing a Tertiary Alkanolamine and Piperazine at Temperatures between 298.15 and 353.15 K

Measurements for the density and viscosity of partially carbonated solutions containing water, piperazine (PZ), and a tertiary amine, which was either dimethylaminoethanol (DMAE) or 2-diethylaminoethanol (DEAE), were conducted with total amine mass fractions of 30% and 40% over a temperature range from 298.15 to 353.15 K. Density and viscosity correlations of these mixtures were developed as functions of amine mass fraction, CO2 loading, and temperature. For both systems investigated, the average absolute relative deviations of the experimental data from these correlation are approximately 0.2% for density and 3% for viscosity. The correlations will be useful for thermodynamic analysis and computer simulations of carbon capture processes utilizing these promising blended amine systems
