Surface thermodynamics and viscosity of 1-dimethylamino-2-propanol + 1-(2-aminoethyl)piperazine and 1-dimethylamino-2-propanol + 1,5-diamino-2-methylpentane aqueous solutions

The surface tensions ( γ ) and viscosities ( η ) of 1-dimethylamino-2-propanol (DMA2P) − 1-(2-aminoethyl)piperazine (AEP) and DMA2P − 1,5-diamino-2-methylpentane (DAMP) were measured and correlated. According to the CO 2 capture temperature from the thermal power plant flue gas (around 313 K), the experimental temperatures were selected to be 303.2 K, 313.2 K and 323.2 K. The mass fractions of DMA2P ranged from 0.300 to 0.500, and those for activators (AEP and DAMP) ranged from 0.050 to 0.150. Temperature and composition dependences of γ and η were demonstrated on the basis of experiments and calculations. The activation energy ( E a) was estimated from the temperature dependence of viscosity. Analytical formulations of surface entropy ( S S ) and surface enthalpy ( H S ) were deduced from the analytical equation of γ . S S and H S were calculated and their variations with respect to mass fraction were analyzed.
