利用泰勒分散法(Taylor dispersion method)量測醇胺水溶液 N,N-diethylethanolamine (DEEA), N,N-dimethylethanolamine (DMEA), monoisopropanolamine (MIPA), piperzaine (PZ) 和sulfolane 在水溶液中之無限稀釋擴散係數以及交互擴散係數數據(mutual diffusion coefficient)。實驗操作在一大氣壓下;溫度範圍為30至70℃;濃度範圍為0.5至4 kmol/m3。實驗儀器以及操作條件符合學者Alizadeh等人在1980年所提供的方法。實驗先量測MEA + 水的擴散係數並與文獻值比較,以確認量測方法之正確性。實驗所得數據由一簡單關係式來修正(Snijder et al., 1993)。並由UNIDIF模式(Hsu and Chen, 1998)¬來表示,皆有令人滿意的結果。再由RHS (rough hard sphere theory)理論(Dymond, 1974)來表示出與自由體積的關係式。這研究結果能用於探討使用醇胺水溶液當吸收劑吸收氣體時,決定反應機構及反應速率常數之基礎數據。
The diffusion coefficients of alkanolamines in water at infinite dilution and the mutual diffusion coefficients of aqueous N,N-diethylethanolamine (DEEA), N,N-dimethylethanolamine (DMEA), monoisopropanolamine (MIPA), piperazine (PZ) and sulfolane solutions have been studied by using the Taylor dispersion method. Experimental results for temperature 30 to 70℃ and at atmospheric pressure as functions of the concentration of alkanolamines from 0.5 to 4 kmol/m3 are reported. The apparatus and experimental condition are consistent with the criteria proposed by Alizadeh et al. (1980). Experiment with the binary system of monoethanolamine (MEA) + water showed that the experimental setup provides accurate mutual diffusion coefficient data. The obtained mutual diffusion coefficients were correlated by using both a simple relation of Snijder et al. (1993) and by the UNIDIF equation (Hsu and Chen, 1998). The measured mutual diffusivity data are also well represented by a free-volume expression (rough hard sphere theory). The results of this study can be used for developing the kinetic model for gas absorption using aqueous alkanolamine solutions as absorbent.
