Densities, viscosities, refractive indices, and electrical conductivities of both artificially degraded and industrially degraded monoethanolamine (MEA) solutions are measured at a standard temperature of 293.15 or 298.15 K. These physical property measurement data are not currently available for the degraded MEA solutions, and the reported values are particularly important for monitoring solvent quality and plant performance. The data can be used to provide an estimation of the total degradation products' build-up level in the solvent with a simple measurement by the CO 2 plant operators, which would avoid using complex equipment and lengthy laboratory techniques. The data could also be useful for the CO 2 capture plant designers to consider the impact of the degradation products on the physical properties of the solvent.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
