Effect of Blending Ratio and Temperature on CO2 Solubility in Blended Aqueous Solution of Monoethanolamine and 2-Amino-2-methyl-propanol: Experimental and Modeling Study Using the Electrolyte Nonrandom Two-Liquid Model

This paper reports the newly measured experimental data for CO 2 solubility in a blended aqueous solution of monoethanolamine (MEA) and 2-amino-2-methyl-propanol (AMP) at different amine mixing ratios (MEA/AMP/H 2 O = 9:21:70, 15:15:70, and 21:9:70 wt %) and working temperatures (323.15, 373.15, and 383.15 K). The successive substitution method was used for calculating the mole fractions of all molecules (four molecules) and electrolytes (three cations and four anions) from the equilibrium along with the material and charge balance equations (11 equations). The electrolyte nonrandom two-liquid (e-NRTL) model was used to investigate nonideality in the liquid phase. Using the abovementioned thermodynamic models, the partial pressures of CO 2 in the gas phase, mole fractions of all components in the liquid phase, pH variations, heats of absorption, and cyclic capacities of CO 2 according to the absorption/desorption temperature and the blending ratio of MEA/AMP were estimated.
