In this work new experimental data on the rate of absorption of CO2into piperazine (PZ) activated concentrated aqueous solutions of 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP) over the temperature range 303–323K are presented. The absorption experiments have been carried out in a wetted wall contactor over CO2partial pressure range of 5–15kPa. PZ is used as a rate activator with a concentration ranging from 2 to 8wt% keeping the total amine concentration in the solution at 40wt%. The physical properties such as density and viscosity of concentrated aqueous AMP+PZ, as well as physical solubility of CO2in concentrated aqueous AMP+PZ, are also measured. New experimental data on vapor liquid equilibrium (VLE) of CO2in these concentrated aqueous solutions of AMP+PZ in the temperature range of 303–323K have also been presented. The VLE measurements are carried out in an equilibrium cell in CO2pressure range of 0.1–140kPa. A thermodynamic model based on electrolyte non-random two-liquid (eNRTL) theory is used to represent the VLE of CO2in aqueous AMP+PZ. Liquid phase speciations are estimated considering the nonideality of concentrated solutions of the amines and the calculated activity coefficients by eNRTL model. The CO2absorption in the aqueous amine solutions is described by a combined mass transfer-reaction kinetics model developed according to Higbie's penetration theory. The model predictions have been found to be in good agreement with the experimental results of the rates of absorptions of CO2into aqueous AMP+PZ.
