Experimental Measurements and Thermodynamic Modelling of Carbon Dioxide Capture with use of 2-(Ethylamino) Ethanol

Abstract

Carbon dioxide solubility was studied in 2.5 mass % and 5 mass % aqueous 2 (Ethylamino)ethanol (EAE; CAS 110-73-6) solution, an interesting secondary amine prepared mainly from renewable resources, at high loading rates, at three temperature ranges (293.00K, 313.15 K, 333.15 K), and in pressure range from 289 to 1011 kPa. In addition to that, heat capacity (cp) was measured of examined solution, allowing determination of temperature dependent coefficients of ideal gas heat capacity equation. Afterwards, the electrolyte Non Random Two-Liquid model's parameters were determined to represent the thermodynamic behaviour of the CO 2 -EAE -H 2 O system with use of ASPEN® Plus V8.0 simulation software, indicating a good correlation between experimental and simulation results. As a consequence, model based calculation of the carbon dioxide capture with use of 2- (Ethylamino)
