Abstract
In the awake of global response for the protection of environment and sustainable development, the removal, disposal and useful
utilization of CO2 evolved from different sources is becoming a challenge with time. The coming years should find the carbon dioxide
(CO2) use in ever increasing number of applications (e.g. EOR). The major sources of CO2 emission include the burning of fossil fuel,
coal fired power plants, oil refining, hydrogen production, several industrial processes and sweetening of natural gas. There is a need
of developing new design and solvents for CO2 removal. In this paper physical properties, important in design the acid gas contactor
for new potential solvent are experimentally measured. The physical properties such as density (ρ), viscosity (η) and co-efficient of
thermal expansion (α) of aqueous solutions of Piperazine (PZ) and (AMP + PZ) were experimentally measured for a wide range of
temperature (298.15 to 33.15) K. The mass fractions of PZ were varied from (1.74 to 10.35) wt%. The concentrations for aqueous
solutions of (AMP+PZ) were kept higher due to the growing interest in use of concentrated amines in gas processing. The mass
fractions of (AMP + PZ) were varied from (28.26/1.74, 26.55/3.45, 23.12/6.88 to 19.65/10.35) %. All the properties were correlated as
a function of temperature. The measured and correlated values are found to be in good agreement. All measured physical properties
have shown the decreasing effect while increasing the temperature.
2.2 Viscosity
The viscosities of aqueous solutions were measured using Where Z is density and η is the viscosity, Ao, A1 are the
a calibrated Ubbelohde viscometer of sizes. The fitting parameters and T is the temperature in K. These
viscometer containing amine solutions was immersed in parameters were calculated using the method of least
thermostatic bath (Tamson, TVB445) with built in stirring square. These parameters for density are tabulated in table
system with temperature controlled accuracy of ± 0.01 K. 4.
The bath temperature was regulated with Pt-100
temperature probe. The kinematic viscosities were
calculated by multiplying the efflux time with the
viscometer constant with the following 1
Ct (1)
Where υ is the kinematic viscosity in centistokes (cSt), C
is the viscometer constant (cSt . s-1) and t is the efflux
time in seconds (s). The dynamic viscosities of the
aqueous amine solutions were calculated by multiplying
the corresponding densities with the measured kinematic
viscosities with an uncertainty of ± 0.028 mPa. S.
