Nonaqueous and aqueous mixtures of methyldiethanolamine and monoethylene glycol form promising absorbents for the combined hydrogen sulfide removal and hydrate control, necessary in natural gas processing. In this direction, the density and viscosity of the binary and ternary systems were measured and modeled in the temperature range of T = 283.15−353.15 K and at ambient pressure. Excess molar volumes and viscosity deviations from ideality were also calculated. The water content varied from 5 to 50 wt % and the amine content from 5 to 90 wt %. Both density and viscosity were modeled using nonrandom two-liquid-based models. Regarding the density modeling, the average absolute relative deviations (AARDs) were found to be less than 0.4% for the binary subsystems and equal to 0.3% for the ternary system. Viscosity modeling results show higher AARD, though always lower than 3.0% for both binary and ternary solutions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
