Solubility of Carbon Dioxide in 30 mass % Monoethanolamine and 50 mass % Methyldiethanolamine Solutions

The partial pressures of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) over a 30 mass % aqueous solution of monoethanolamine (MEA) and a 50 mass % aqueous solution of methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) were measured. The range of partial pressures of CO 2 measured at 120 °C over 30 mass % MEA was from (7 to 192) kPa with loadings from (0.16 to 0.42). The partial pressures of CO 2 ranging from (66 to 813) kPa with loadings from (0.17 to 0.81) over 50 mass % MDEA were also measured at the temperatures (55, 70, and 85) °C. An approximate value of the enthalpy of solution of CO 2 in the aqueous MDEA solution was estimated using the solubility data.
