Hydrolysis of carbonyl sulfide in binary mixture of diethylene glycol diethyl ether and water
The solubility and hydrolysis of carbonyl sulfide in binary mixture of diethylene glycol diethyl ether and water are studied as a function of composition. The use of an aqueous solution of diethylene glycol diethyl ether enhances the solubility and hydrolysis rate of carbonyl sulfide compared with that in pure water. The composition of the mixture with maximum hydrolysis rate varies with temperature. The thermophysical properties including density, viscosity, and surface tension as a function of composition at 20 ° C under atmospheric pressure as well as liquid-liquid equilibrium (LLE) data over the temperature range from 28 C to 90 ° C are also measured for the binary mixture.
