Thermodynamic Properties of CO2 and 2-Amino-2-methyl-1-propanol, an Efficient Absorbent for CO2, using GMA Equation of State

Climate change is one of the most alarming disastrous global environmental concern. It ismost likely caused by increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide originating from industrialactivities. Amine-based absorbents such as 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP) [1] havebeen used for CO2 capture from flue gases. AMP has a greater CO2 loading capacity thanother primary amines. Accurate prediction of the thermodynamic properties of CO2absorbents such as AMP is of fundamental importance in the design, optimization, andoperation of absorption based CO2 capture processes. The equation of state (EoS) is a majortool for calculating the thermodynamic properties of fluids particularly mixtures.The aim of the present work is to report the results of calculating the thermodynamicproperties for AMP, CO2, and AMP solutions using the Goharshadi–Morsali–Abbaspour GMA EoS [2].
