description The knowledge of physicochemical properties of a mixture of amine, water, and CO2 is beneficial in evaluating the postcombustion CO2 capture process and process equipment design. This study reviews the literature of density, viscosity, and surface tension measurements with the evaluated measurement uncertainties and proposed correlations for monoethanol amine (MEA), water, and CO2 mixtures. Adequate research has been performed to measure and develop correlations for pure MEA and aqueous MEA mixtures, but further studies are required for CO2-loaded aqueous MEA mixtures. The correlations fit measured properties with an acceptable accuracy, and they are recommended to use in process equipment design, mathematical modelling, and simulations of absorption and desorption.
