Measurement and prediction of the density of aqueous ternary mixtures of methyldiethanolamine and diethanolamine at temperatures from 25°c to 80°c

Densities have been measured for mixed aqueous solutions of N‐methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) and diethanolamine (DEA) at 25, 30,40,50, 60,70, and 80°C. The compositions of the ternary solutions are near 30 mass% solute, because of industrial applications for the absorption of acid gases. The isopycnotic (same density) method, for predicting densities of multicomponent aqueous systems at 25°C has been used to predict the densities of the present non‐electrolyte mixed solutions at other temperatures. Predicted and observed density values are in good agreement (<0.06% error). The method has also been used to predict densities of some aqueous sea salt mixtures at temperatures ranging from 5 to 95°C. Again the predicted and observed values are in good agreement (generally <0.1% error).
