Enthalpy of solution of CO2 in aqueous solutions of methyldiethanolamine at T = 322.5 K and pressure up to 5 MPa

Enthalpies of solution of CO₂ in aqueous solution of methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) are determined for two different concentrations, respectively, 15 wt% and 30 wt%, at the temperature of 322.5 K and at pressures up to 5 MPa using a flow calorimetric technique. Gas solubilities were consequently deduced from the calorimetric data and compared to available literature values. Experimental enthalpies of solution were compared to direct measurements and to values derived from VLE data available using a simple model based on ideal property considerations.     

Enthalpy of absorption and limit of solubility of CO2 in aqueous solutions of 2-amino-2-hydroxymethyl-1,3-propanediol, 2-[2-(dimethyl-amino)ethoxy] ethanol,and 3-dimethyl-amino-1-propanol at T = (313.15 and 353.15) K and pressures up to 2 MPa

In order to study the influence of amine structure on absorption of carbon dioxide, enthalpies of solution of CO₂ in 2.50 mol · L^?1 aqueous solutions of 2-amino-2-hydroxymethyl-1,3-propanediol (THAM), 2-[2-(dimethyl-amino)ethoxy] ethanol (DMAEOE), and 3-dimethyl-amino-1-propanol (DMAP) were measured. The enthalpies of solution are determined as function of gas loading charge (moles of CO₂/mole of amine), at temperatures (313.15 and 353.15) K, and pressures range from (0.5 to 2) MPa. Measurements were carried out using a flow calorimetric technique. CO₂ solubilities in the aqueous solutions of amine are derived from calorimetric data. Molar volumes of aqueous amine solutions required to handle calorimetric data were determined at 303.15 K using a vibrating tube densimeter. Experimental enthalpies of solution are discussed on the basis of amines alkalinity.     

Enthalpy of solution of CO2 in aqueous solutions of 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol

The enthalpies of solution of CO₂ in aqueous solution of 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP) 15 wt% and 30 wt% were measured at 322.5 K and pressures range from (0.2 to 5) MPa using a flow calorimetric technique. The gas solubilities were simultaneously determined from the calorimetric data. The solubilities were compared to available literature values obtained by direct measurements. The experimental enthalpies of solution were compared to the values derived from the literature vapor liquid equilibrium data. This work provides calorimetric data that will be used later for the development of a thermodynamic model to predict both solubilities and enthalpies of solution of acid gases in aqueous amine solutions.     

Solubility of hydrogen in toluene for the ternary system H2 + CO2 + toluene from 305 to 343 K and 1.2 to 10.5 MPa

The solubility of hydrogen in toluene in the presence of the compressed CO₂ at the temperatures from 305 to 343 K and the pressures from 1.2 to 10.5 MPa was measured by using a continuous flow technique. The obtained data indicate that more hydrogen could be dissolved in toluene at the pressures higher than a certain value depending on temperature and the molar ratio of H₂ to CO₂ in gas. The Peng–Robinson equation of state associated with the van der Waals mixing rule were found to correlate the VLE data of the ternary system H₂ + CO₂ + toluene satisfactorily. From the volume expansion resulted from the dissolution of CO₂ in toluene calculated by the proposed model, it was found that hydrogen solubility was generally increased with increasing volume expansion. A large volume expansion was required to enhance hydrogen solubility when the mole fraction of hydrogen in gas was low.     

Partial molar volumes of organic solutes in water. XXIII. Cyclic ketones at T = (298 to 573) K and pressures up to 30 MPa

Density data for dilute aqueous solutions of four cyclic ketones (cyclopentanone, cyclohexanone, cycloheptanone, and cyclohexane-1,4-dione) are presented together with standard molar volumes (partial molar volumes at infinite dilution) calculated from the experimental data. The measurements were performed at temperatures from T = 298 K up to T = 573 K. Experimental pressures were close to the saturated vapor pressure of water, and (15 and 30) MPa. The data were obtained using a high-temperature high-pressure flow vibrating-tube densimeter. Experimental standard molar volumes were correlated as a function of temperature and pressure using an empirical polynomial function. Contributions of the molecular structural segments (methylene and carbonyl groups) to the standard molar volume were also evaluated and analyzed.     

High-pressure (vapor + liquid) equilibria in the (nitrogen + n-heptane) system

In this work, new (vapor + liquid) equilibrium data for the (N₂ + n-heptane) system were experimentally measured over a wide temperature range from (313.6 to 523.7) K and pressures up to 50 MPa. A static-analytic apparatus with visual sapphire windows and pneumatic capillary samplers was used in the experimental measurements. Equilibrium phase compositions and (vapor + liquid) equilibrium ratios are reported. The new results were compared with those reported by other authors. The comparison showed that the pressure–composition data reported in this work are less scattered than those determined by others. Hence, the results demonstrate the reliability of the experimental apparatus at high temperatures and pressures. The experimental data were represented with the PR and PC-SAFT equations of state by using one-fluid mixing rules and a single temperature independent interaction parameter. Results of the representation showed that the PC-SAFT equation was superior to the PR equation in correlating the experimental data of the (N₂ + n-heptane) system.     

Phase equilibrium data for the ternary system (propane + chloroform + oryzanol)

The compound oryzanol available in the rice bran (oriza sativa) is well known for its antioxidant activity. Phase equilibrium data involving oryzanol in compressed fluids, hardly found in the literature, are important to provide the basis for the extraction and fractionation processes. In this sense, the aim of this work is to report phase equilibrium measurements for the system (γ-oryzanol + chloroform) in compressed propane. Phase equilibrium experiments were performed using the static synthetic method (cloud points transition data) in a high-pressure variable-volume view cell in the temperature range of 303 K to 353 K, pressures up to 17 MPa, for oryzanol overall mass fractions of 2 wt%, 5 wt% and 10 wt% in (propane + chloroform) mixtures. A complex phase behaviour comprising vapour–liquid, liquid–liquid, vapour–liquid–liquid, solid–liquid, solid–liquid–liquid, solid–liquid–liquid–vapour transitions were visually observed for the system studied.     

Phase equilibrium measurements of (methane + benzene) and (methane + methylbenzene) at temperatures from (188 to 348) K and pressures to 13 MPa

New isothermal pTxy data are reported for (methane + benzene) and (methane + methylbenzene (toluene)) at pressures up to 13 MPa over the temperature range (188 to 313) K using a custom-built (vapor + liquid) equilibrium (VLE) apparatus. The aim of this work was to investigate literature data inconsistencies and to extend the measurements to lower temperatures. For (methane (1) + benzene (2)), measurements were made along six isotherms from (233 to 348) K at pressures to 9.6 MPa. At temperatures below 279 K there was evidence of a solid phase, and thus only vapor phase samples were analyzed at these temperatures. For the (methane (1) + methylbenzene (3)) system, measurements were made along seven isotherms from T = (188 to 313) K at pressures up to 13 MPa. Along the 198 K isotherm, a significant change in the data’s p,x slope was observed indicating (liquid + liquid) equilibria at higher pressures. The data were compared with literature data and with calculations made using the Peng–Robinson (PR) equation of state (EOS). For both binary systems our data agree with much of the literature data that also deviate from the EOS in a similar manner. However, the data of Elbishlawi and Spencer (1951) for both binary systems, which appear to have received an equal weighting to other data in the EOS development, are inconsistent with the results of our measurements and data from other literature sources.     

(Liquid + liquid) equilibria for ternary mixtures of (polyvinylpyrrolidone + MgSO4 + water) at different temperatures

Experimental (liquid + liquid) equilibrium (LLE) data were determined for a ternary system (polyvinylpyrrolidone + MgSO₄ + water) at various temperatures of (298.15, 303.15, and 308.15) K. The UNIQAC, modified regular solution, modified Wilson and Chen-NRTL models were used to correlate the experimental tie-line data. The results show that at each temperature, the quality of fitting is better with the Chen-NRTL model.     

Thermodynamic properties of mixtures of N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone and methanol at temperatures between 298.15 K and 343.15 K and pressures up to 60 MPa

We report measurements of the speed of sound in mixtures of N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone and methanol at temperatures between 298.15 K and 343.15 K and at pressures up to 60 MPa. The measurements were made using a dual path pulse-echo apparatus operating at a frequency of 5 MHz. We have also measured the isobaric specific heat capacity of each mixture as a function of temperature at ambient pressure, by means of a Setaram DSC III microcalorimeter. The experimental results have been combined with literature data for the density of the same mixtures as a functions of temperature at ambient pressure to obtain the density, isobaric specific heat capacity, and other thermodynamic properties at temperatures between 298.15 K and 343.15 K and at pressures up to 60 MPa. Detailed comparisons with the literature data are presented.     

Vapor–liquid equilibria for the ternary system of carbon dioxide + ethanol + ethyl acetate at elevated pressures

Vapor–liquid equilibrium (VLE) data for the ternary system of carbon dioxide, ethanol and ethyl acetate were measured in this study at 303.2, 308.2, and 313.2 K, and at pressures from 4 to 7 MPa. A static type phase equilibrium apparatus with visual sapphire windows was used in the experimental measurements. New VLE data for CO₂ in the mixed solvent were presented. These ternary VLE data at elevated pressures were also correlated using either the modified Soave–Redlich–Kwong or Peng–Robinson equation of state, with either the van der Waals one-fluid or Huron–Vidal mixing model. Satisfactory correlation results are reported with temperature-independent binary parameters. It is observed that at 313.2 K and 7 MPa, ethanol can be separated from ethyl acetate into the vapor phase at all concentrations in the presence of high pressure CO₂.     

The enthalpy of dilution and thermodynamics of Na2CO3(aq) and NaHCO3(aq) fromT = 298 K toT = 523.15 K and pressure of 40 MPa

Molar enthalpies of dilution Δ_dilH_mofNa₂CO₃(aq) were measured from molality m =  1.45 mol · kg ^− 1to m =  0.008 mol · kg ^− 1at seven temperatures from T =  298 K toT =  523 K at the pressure p =  7 MPa, and at four temperatures fromT =  371 K to T =  523 K at the pressurep =  40 MPa. Molar enthalpies of dilutionΔ_dilH_m of NaHCO₃(aq) were measured fromm =  0.98 mol · kg ^− 1tom =  0.007 mol · kg ^− 1at the same temperatures and pressures. Hydrolysis and ionization equilibria contribute substantially to the measured enthalpies under many of the conditions of this study. Explicit consideration of these reactions, using thermodynamic quantities from previous studies, facilitates a quantitative representation of apparent molar enthalpies, activity coefficients, and osmotic coefficients with the Pitzer ion-interaction treatment over the ranges of temperature, pressure, and molality of the experiments.     

Phase equilibrium data and thermodynamic modelling of the system (propane + DMF + methanol) at high pressures

Reported in this work are phase equilibrium data at high pressures for the binary and ternary systems formed by {propane + N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) + methanol}. Phase equilibrium measurements were performed in a high-pressure, variable-volume view cell, following the static synthetic method for obtaining the experimental bubble and dew points transition data over the temperature range of (363 to 393) K, pressures up to 11.5 MPa and overall mole fraction of the lighter component varying from 0.1 to 0.995. For the systems investigated, vapour–liquid (VLE), liquid–liquid (LLE) and vapour–liquid–liquid (VLLE) phase transitions were visually recorded. Results show that the systems investigated present UCST (upper critical solution temperature) phase transition curves with an UCEP (upper critical end point) at a temperature higher than the propane critical temperature. The experimental data were modelled using the Peng–Robinson equation of state with the Wong–Sandler and the classical quadratic mixing rules, affording a satisfactory representation of the experimental data.     

Hydrate phase equilibrium in the system of (carbon dioxide + 2,2-dimethylbutane + water) at temperatures below freezing point of water

The four-phase equilibrium conditions of (vapor + liquid + hydrate + ice) were measured in the system of (CO₂ + 2,2-dimethylbutane + water). The measurements were performed within the temperature range (254.2 to 270.2) K and pressure range (0.490 to 0.847) MPa using an isochoric method. Phase equilibrium conditions of hydrate formed in this study were measured to be at higher temperatures and lower pressures than those of structure I CO₂ simple hydrate. The largest difference in the equilibrium pressures of structure I CO₂ hydrate and the hydrate formed in the present study was 0.057 MPa at T = 258.3 K. On the basis of the four-phase equilibrium data obtained, the quintuple point for the (ice + structure I hydrate + structure H hydrate + liquid + vapor) was also determined to be T = 266.4 K and 0.864 MPa. The results indicate that structure H hydrate formed with CO₂ and 2,2-dimethylbutane is stable exclusively at the temperatures below the quintuple temperature.     

Partial molar volumes of organic solutes in water. XV. Butanediols(aq) at temperatures from (298 K to 573 K) and at pressures up to 30 MPa

Density data for dilute aqueous solutions of three butanediols (1,3-butanediol, 2,3-butanediol, 1,4-butanediol) are presented together with partial molar volumes at infinite dilution calculated from the experimental data. The measurements were performed at temperatures from 298.15 K up to 573.15 K and at pressures close to the saturated vapour pressure of water, at pressures close to 20 MPa and 30 MPa. The data were obtained using a high-temperature high-pressure flow vibrating-tube densimeter.     

Vapor–liquid equilibria for the ternary mixture of carbon dioxide + 1-propanol + propyl acetate at elevated pressures

Vapor–liquid equilibrium (VLE) data for the ternary mixture of carbon dioxide, 1-propanol and propyl acetate were measured in this study at 308.2, 313.2, and 318.2 K, and at pressures ranging from 4 to 10 MPa. A static type phase equilibrium apparatus with visual sapphire windows was used in the experimental measurements. New VLE data for CO₂ in the mixed solvent were presented. These ternary VLE data at elevated pressures were also correlated using either the modified Soave–Redlich–Kwong or Peng–Robinson equation of state (EOS), and by employing either the van der Waals one-fluid or Huron–Vidal mixing model. Satisfactory correlation results from both EOS models are reported with temperature-independent binary interaction parameters. It is observed that at 318.2 K and 10 MPa, 1-propanol may probably be separated from propyl acetate into the vapor phase at the entire concentration range in the presence of high pressure CO₂.     

Phase equilibrium measurements for semi-clathrate hydrates of the (CO2 + N2 + tetra-n-butylammonium bromide) aqueous solution system

The application of semi-clathrate hydrate formation technology for gas separation purposes has gained much attention in recent years. Consequently, there is a demand for experimental data for relevant semi-clathrate hydrate phase equilibria. In this work, semi-clathrate hydrate dissociation conditions for the system comprising mixtures of {CO₂ (0.151/0.399 mole fraction) + N₂ (0.849/0.601 mole fraction) + 0.05, 0.15, and 0.30 mass fraction tetra-n-butylammonium bromide (TBAB)} aqueous solutions have been measured and are reported. An experimental apparatus which was designed and built in-house was used for the measurements using the isochoric pressure-search method. The range of conditions for the measurements was from 277.1 K to 293.2 K for temperature and pressures up to 16.21 MPa. The phase equilibrium data measured demonstrate the high hydrate promotion effects of TBAB aqueous solutions.     

Partial molar volumes of organic solutes in water. XXII. Cyclic ethers at temperatures (298 to 573) K and pressures up to 30 MPa

Density values for dilute aqueous solutions of five cyclic ethers (oxolane, 1,3-dioxolane, oxane, 1,4-dioxane, and 1,3,5-trioxane) are presented together with partial molar volumes at infinite dilution calculated from the experimental results. The measurements were performed at temperatures from (298 up to 573) K. Due to thermal decomposition, the upper temperature limit was lower for 1,3-dioxolane (448 K) and 1,3,5-trioxane (498 K). Experimental pressures were close to the saturated vapour pressure of water, and (15 and 30) MPa. The results were obtained using a high-temperature high-pressure flow vibrating-tube densimeter. Experimental standard partial molar volumes were correlated as a function of temperature and pressure using an empirical polynomial function and the semi-theoretical SOCW equation of state. Contributions of the group contribution method proposed previously were also evaluated and analyzed.     

Thermodynamic and acoustic properties of (heptane + dodecane) mixtures under elevated pressures

The speed of sound in (heptane + dodecane) mixtures was measured over the whole concentration range at pressures up to 101 MPa and within the temperature range from (293 to 318) K. The density of (heptane + dodecane) was measured in the whole composition range under atmospheric pressure and at temperatures from (293 to 318) K. The densities and heat capacities of these binaries at the same temperatures were calculated for pressures up to 100 MPa from the speeds of sound under elevated pressures together with the densities and heat capacities at atmospheric pressure. The effects of pressure and temperature on the excess molar volume and the excess molar heat capacity are discussed.     

Densities and derived thermodynamic properties of 1-heptanol and 2-heptanol at temperatures from 313 K to 363 K and pressures up to 22 MPa

Experimental densities were determined in liquid phase for 1-heptanol and 2-heptanol at temperatures from 313 K to 363 K and pressures up to 22 MPa using a vibrating tube densimeter. Water and nitrogen were used as reference fluids for the calibration of the vibrating tube densimeter. The uncertainties of the experimental measurements in the whole range of reported data are estimated to be ±0.03 K for temperature, ±0.008 MPa for pressure, and ±0.20 kg · m^?3 for density. The experimental data are correlated using a short empirical equation of six parameters and the 11-parameter Benedict–Webb–Rubin–Starling equation of state (BWRS EoS) using a least square optimization. Statistical values to evaluate the different correlations are reported. Published density data of 1-heptanol are compared with values calculated with the 6-parameter equation using the parameters obtained in this work. The experimental data determined here are also compared with an available correlation for 1-heptanol. Densities of 2-heptanol at high pressure were not found in the literature and the data reported here represent the first set of data reported in the literature. Isothermal compressibilities and isobaric thermal expansivity are calculated using the 6-parameter equation for both alcohols within uncertainties estimated to be ±0.025 Gpa^?1 and ±4 × 10^?7 K^?1, respectively.
