Abstract
To reduce CO2 emissions and address issues with conventional amine-based aqueous absorbents, a mixed nonaqueous solution of monoethanolamine (MEA) and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) was proposed. The density, dynamic viscosity and refractive index of fresh MEA-DMF solutions (10-50 wt% MEA) and CO2-loaded solutions (0.10–0.51 mol CO2·(mol MEA)−1) were measured across the temperature range of 298.15–333.15 K. The values for fresh solutions were correlated with concentration and temperature using the Jouyban-Acree model (JAM) and an exponential equation. Then the results after CO2 absorption were derived from the CO2 loading amount. Additionally, CO2 absorption performance of MEA-DMF with various concentrations at 303.15–333.15 K and 9.64–134.52 kPa was assessed to determine gas-liquid equilibrium and develop semi-empirical correlations. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analysis confirmed that carbamate was the primary product formed after CO2 absorption in the nonaqueous absorbent. These studies provide essential data for equipment design and absorbent optimization. MEA-DMF solutions demonstrate favorable viscosity and CO2 absorption performance, supporting the potential use of nonaqueous absorbents in industrial CO2 capture technologies.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Chemical Thermodynamics exists primarily for dissemination of significant new knowledge in experimental equilibrium thermodynamics and transport properties of chemical systems. The defining attributes of The Journal are the quality and relevance of the papers published.
The Journal publishes work relating to gases, liquids, solids, polymers, mixtures, solutions and interfaces. Studies on systems with variability, such as biological or bio-based materials, gas hydrates, among others, will also be considered provided these are well characterized and reproducible where possible. Experimental methods should be described in sufficient detail to allow critical assessment of the accuracy claimed.
Authors are encouraged to provide physical or chemical interpretations of the results. Articles can contain modelling sections providing representations of data or molecular insights into the properties or transformations studied. Theoretical papers on chemical thermodynamics using molecular theory or modelling are also considered.
The Journal welcomes review articles in the field of chemical thermodynamics but prospective authors should first consult one of the Editors concerning the suitability of the proposed review.
Contributions of a routine nature or reporting on uncharacterised materials are not accepted.
