Abstract: Carbon dioxide as one of the major contributors to the global warming problem is produced in large
quantities by many important industries and its emission seems to rise from year to year. Amine-based absorption
is one of the methods to capture CO2 from its sources. As a reactive system, mass transfer and chemical reaction
take place simultaneously. In a vapor-liquid equilibrium model for the CO2-amine-water system, some
parameters e.g. mass transfer coefficients and chemical equilibrium constants need to be known. However, some
parameters could be determined experimentally and the rests could be regressed from the model. The protonation
constant (pKa), as one of the model parameters, could then be measured experimentally. The purpose of this
study is to measure the pKa of monoethanolamine (MEA) at a range of temperatures from 303 to 330 K by a
potentiometric titration method. The experimental data obtained were in a good agreement with the literature
data. The pKa data from this work together with those from the literature were then correlated in an empirical
correlation to be easily used for future research.
