Absorption of CO2 in aqueous blend of methyldiethanolamine and arginine by Talkhan, Ahmed Gomaa

“…However, for CO2 partial pressure of above 20 kPa, the addition of Arg caused a decrease in the solubility of CO2. The obtained loading data were correlated using a semiempirical (SE) vapour liquid equilibrium (VLE) model with an average absolute deviation (AAD) less than 4.1% between the predicted and the experimental values. …”
