Current researchers from environmental and industrial fields are focusing on advanced means of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) capture to limit its consequences in process industries. They also intend to enhance the mitigation of environmental impart by CO 2 especially its greenhouse effect. In this study, the kinetics of CO 2 reaction with an aqueous blend of piperazine (PZ) and 2‐amino‐2‐ethyl‐1,3‐propanediol (AEPD) were investigated. It was found that blending of AEPD with a little percentage of PZ generated the observed rate constant, k o , values that were more than twice the direct summation of the k o values of the aqueous pure amines at the corresponding concentration and temperature. The kinetic study of the system was modeled using a termolecular mechanism. Blending 0.05 kmol/m 3 of PZ with 0.5 kmol/m 3 of AEPD gives an observed rate constant k o value of 2397.9 s −1 at 298 K. This result is comparable to rate constants of other amine mixtures. Thus, the aqueous blend of AEPD with PZ is an attractive solvent for CO 2 capture that has good advantages. The PZ that serves as the promoter in the reaction is needed in small fraction, whereas AEPD, which is a sterically hindered amine, increases CO 2 absorption capacity of the system. AEPD can be produced from renewable materials. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Chem Kinet 45: 161–167, 2013
