The
solubilities of CO2 and H2S mixtures
in methyldiethanolamine aqueous solutions were investigated in the
wide temperature range from 313.15 (absorption range) to 403.15 K
(stripping range) using the static method. The values of equilibrium
constants for amine protonation (K
1),
activity coefficients (γ
i
), and
fugacity coefficients (Φ
i
) were
regressed from the newly obtained experimental solubility data to
correct nonideality. In order to obtain the equilibrium constants
for amine protonation, modified Kent–Eisenberg model was applied.
Then, two kinds of activity coefficient models, the Deshmukh–Mather
model and the electrolyte nonrandom two-liquid model, were applied
to minimize the gaps between experimental data and predicted values
with newly obtained equilibrium constants. In this study, six thermodynamic
models were presented by combining (1) equilibrium model and (2) activity
coefficient models. Based on the best fitted solubility results, the
mole fractions of all electrolytes, the pH in the liquid phase, and
the heat of absorption for CO2 and H2S were
evaluated.
