Aqueous solutions of N-methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) and diethanolamine (DEA) are widely used in the industrial treatment of acid gas streams containing H[sub 2]S and CO[sub 2]. The density and viscosity of aqueous solutions of N-methyldiethanolamine were measured over the temperature range 60--100 C. The density and viscosity of aqueous solutions of diethanolamine and diethanolamine + N-methyldiethanolamine were measured over the temperature range 20--100 C. The surface tension of aqueous solutions of the above mixtures was measured over the temperature range 20--80 C. The concentration ranges were 10--50 mass % N-methyldiethanolamine, 10--30 mass % diethanolamine, and 50 mass % total amine concentration with mass ratios of 0.0441--0.5883 (diethanolamine to N-methyldiethanolamine). The measured quantities were found to be in agreement with the literature where data were available.
