In this study, a new set of data for the equilibrium solubility of carbon dioxide in the amine solvent system that consists of triethanolamine (TEA), piperazine (PZ), and water is presented. Equilibrium solubility values were obtained at T = (313.2, 333.2, and 353.2) K and pressures up to 153 kPa using the vapour-recirculation equilibrium cell. The TEA concentrations in the considered ternary (solvent) mixture were (2 and 3) kmol . m(-3) and those of PZ's were (0.5, 1.0, and 1.5) kmol . m(-3). The solubility data (CO2 loading in the amine solution) obtained were correlated as a function of CO2 partial pressure, system temperature, and amine composition via the modified Kent-Eisenberg model. Results showed that the model applied is generally satisfactory in representing the CO2 absorption into mixed aqueous solutions of TEA and PZ. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
