Volumetric and viscometric properties of aqueous 1,2-dimethylethylenediamine solution for carbon capture application

Abstract

The present work investigates the volumetric and viscometric properties of an aqueous solution of 1,2-dimethylethylenediamine (DEEDA) over an entire concentration range and an absorber operating temperature range of 313.15K-333.15K at atmospheric pressure. The investigated volumetric properties included the density, excess molar volume, partial molar volume, and the investigated viscometric properties included the viscosity, viscosity deviation, free energy for activation of viscous flow, excess free energy for activation of viscous flow, and excess entropy for activation of viscous flow. The results indicated that there are strong intermolecular interactions and suitable molecular packing in the binary DEEDA-water mixture. Hence, the mixture was found to deviate from a real mixture according to the calculated excess properties. The DEEDA solvent's preliminary volumetric and viscometric properties revealed convincing potential as a novel amine for carbon capture. Additionally, the Redlich-Kister-based correlations showed favorable correlative performance for excess molar volume, viscosity deviation, and excess entropy for activation of viscous flow.
