A new method was developed to measure the vapor pressure of sulfur dioxide above various liquid absorbents. It was applied to pure 1‐methyl‐2‐pyrrolidone and its aqueous solution at 50°C to 91°C for SO 2 loadings of 3.73 × 10 4 kg/kg to 2.16 × 10 −2 kg/kg. A chemical model was developed. The heat of solution was calculated from the dependence of the vapor pressure on temperature and was 3.98 × 10 7 J/kmol (exothermic) for pure 1‐methyl‐2‐pyrrolidone. The vapor pressures disagreed with the only previously published set of results but were confirmed by independent measurements with a gas chromatograph.
