Solubility of nitrous oxide in alkanolamine aqueous solutions
The solubility of nitrous oxide (N{sub 2}O) in alkanolamine aqueous solutions has been measured at (30, 35, and 40) C. The systems studied are monoethanolamine, diethanolamine, diisopropanolamine, triethanolamine, and 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol aqueous solutions. The concentration of amine for monoethanolamine ranges from (1 to 6) kmol/m{sup 3} and for other amines from (0.5 to 3) kmol/m{sup 3}. The accuracy of the measurement is estimated to be {+-}2%. A semiempirical model of the excess Henry's constant proposed by Wang et al. (1992) was used to correlate the solubility of N{sub 2}O in amine solutions. The parameters of the correlation were determined from the measured solubility data and the available data in the open literature. For a wide temperature range from (15 to 75) C, the obtained correlation has been shown to represent reasonably the solubility of N{sub 2}O in six amine aqueous solutions: MEA, DEA, DIPA, TEA, MDEA, and AMP. For the purpose of process design, the obtained correlations are, in general, satisfactory for estimating the solubility of N{sub 2}O in amine solutions, which in turn can be used to estimate the correct free-gas solubility of CO{sub 2} in amines.
