The diffusion coefficients for nitrous oxide in aqueous solutions of diethanolamine (DEA) and N-methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) were determined using a wetted-sphere absorber over the temperature range 293--368 K. The ranges of amine concentrations covered in the experiments were 10--30 mass % for DEA and 10--50 mass % for MDEA. The diffusion coefficients indicated a linear dependence on amine concentration, but the temperature dependence was nonlinear. It was found that the diffusivity of N[sub 2]O in aqueous DEA is always less than that in aqueous MDEA under equivalent conditions of amine concentration and temperature.
