Gas–liquid equilibrium data for mixture gas of carbon dioxide + nitrogen in 1,2-ethanediamine + triethylene glycol aqueous solution

Abstract

<p>Isothermal gas–liquid equilibrium (GLE) data were measured for the system of 1,2-ethanediamine (EDA) + triethylene glycol (TEG) + H₂O + carbon dioxide (CO₂) + N₂ at <i>T</i> = 293.15, 298.15, 303.15 and 308.15 K and <i>p </i>= 121.74, 126.94 and 129.87 kPa with CO₂ partial pressure ranging from 0 to 13.0 kPa. Measurements were carried out using a saturation method in a glass absorption apparatus, which was controlled at the constant temperature by a thermostatic circulation bath with a Beckmann thermometer. The measurement uncertainties for temperature, total pressure, CO₂ concentration in the gas phase and CO₂ concentration in the liquid phase were less than ±0.02 K, ±0.15 kPa, ±2.5% and ±0.6, respectively. The results indicate that the addition of TEG into the aqueous EDA solution could significantly improve the stability of EDA in CO₂ absorption process, thus enhancing the performance of aqueous amine-based CO₂ scrubbing.</p
