  • absorption of carbon dioxide into piperazine activated aqueous n Methyldiethanolamine
    Chemical Engineering Journal, 2011
    Co-Authors: Arunkumar Samanta, Syamalendu S Bandyopadhyay
    Abstract:

    Abstract This work presents a theoretical and experimental investigation on the absorption of CO 2 into piperazine (PZ) activated aqueous N-Methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) solvent. A comprehensive mathematical model which is based on Higbie's penetration theory has been developed to analyze the experimental data. The model involving coupled mass transfer–reaction kinetics–chemical equilibrium incorporates the important reversible reactions in the liquid phase. The model is validated with the experimental results of steady state absorption measurements of CO 2 in a 2.81 × 10 −2  m o.d. stainless steel wetted wall contactor. The rates of absorption of CO 2 into this solvent have been measured over the CO 2 partial pressure range of 2–14 kPa and temperature range of 298–313 K under atmospheric pressure. The absorption experiments are performed over the MDEA concentration range of 1.89–2.41 kmol m −3 along with PZ concentrations of 0.24, 0.60 and 0.95 kmol m −3 . The predicted absorption rates and enhancement factors based on the model have been found to be in good agreement with the experimental results, the average absolute deviation between the model predicted and experimental results being 6.8%. The values of the rate constants, k 23 and k 25 for the PZ-carbamate and PZ-dicarbamate formation reactions determined in this work have been found to be about 17,500 m 6  kmol −2  s −1 and 15,500 m 6  kmol −2  s −1 at 298 K, respectively. Good agreement between the model predicted and experimental results validates the mathematical model developed in this work to represent CO 2 mass transfer in PZ activated aqueous MDEA.

  • solubility of co2 in water diethanolamine n Methyldiethanolamine
    Fluid Phase Equilibria, 2006
    Co-Authors: Madhusree Kundu, Syamalendu S Bandyopadhyay
    Abstract:

    Abstract This work presents new experimental results for the CO2 solubility in aqueous blends of diethanolamine (DEA) + N-methyl diethanolamine (MDEA) in the temperature range of 303–323 K and CO2 partial pressure of 1–100 kPa. The concentrations of the aqueous amine blends were 1.5 mass% DEA + 28.5 mass% MDEA, 3 mass% DEA + 27 mass% MDEA, and 4.5 mass% DEA + 25.5 mass% MDEA. A rigorous thermodynamic model is developed to correlate and predict the vapour–liquid equilibrium (VLE) of CO2 in aqueous blends of DEA + MDEA. The modified Clegg–Pitzer equations have been used to develop the model for the quaternary system (CO2 + MDEA + DEA + H2O) using the interaction parameters derived from the VLE data of the corresponding ternary systems CO2 + MDEA + H2O and CO2 + DEA + H2O. Simulated annealing, a non-traditional algorithm, has been used for parameter estimation and for the determination of equilibrium composition of various species present in the liquid phase. The model predictions have been in good agreement with the experimental data of CO2 solubility in DEA + MDEA blends of this work as well as those reported in the literature.

  • physical solubility and diffusivity of n2o and co2 into aqueous solutions of 2 amino 2 methyl 1 propanol monoethanolamine and n Methyldiethanolamine monoethanolamine
    Journal of Chemical & Engineering Data, 2004
    Co-Authors: Bishnu P Mandal, Madhusree Kundu, And Nitin U Padhiyar, Syamalendu S Bandyopadhyay
    Abstract:

    In this work the physical solubility of N2O in (diethanolamine + water), (2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol + water), (N-Methyldiethanolamine + water), (N-Methyldiethanolamine + diethanolamine + water), and (2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol + diethanolamine + water) as well as the diffusivity of N2O in (N-Methyldiethanolamine + diethanolamine + water) and (2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol + diethanolamine + water) have been measured at (293, 298, 303, 308, and 313) K. For the binary mixtures the amine concentration ranges studied are (2.0, 2.5, and 3.0) kmol·m-3. For the ternary mixtures the total amine strength in the solution was kept at 30 mass %, in view of the recent interest in using concentrated amine solutions in gas treating. A solubility apparatus was used to measure the solubility of N2O in amine solutions. The diffusivity was measured with a wetted wall column absorber. The uncertainty of the measurement is estimated to be ±2%. A semiempirical model of the excess Henry's constant proposed by Wang et al. (Chem...

  • density and viscosity of aqueous solutions of n Methyldiethanolamine monoethanolamine n Methyldiethanolamine diethanolamine 2 amino 2 methyl 1 propanol monoethanolamine and 2 amino 2 methyl 1 propanol diethanolamine
    Journal of Chemical & Engineering Data, 2003
    Co-Authors: Bishnu P Mandal, Madhusree Kundu, Syamalendu S Bandyopadhyay
    Abstract:

    The densities and viscosities of aqueous blends of N-Methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) and 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol with monoethanolamine (MEA) and diethanolamine (DEA) have been measured at (25, 30, 35, 40, 45, and 50) °C. The total amine strength in the solution was kept at 30 mass % in view of recent interest in using concentrated amine solutions in gas treating. Correlations for the density and viscosity of the ternary mixtures are presented.
