CO2 Absorbing Capacity of MEA by José I. Huertas, Martin D. Gomez, Nicolas Giraldo, Jessica Garzón

“…We describe the use of a gas bubbler apparatus in which the gas phase is bubbled into a fixed amount of absorbent under standard conditions as a uniform procedure for determining the absorption capacity of solvents. The method was systematically applied to determine the CO2 absorbing capacity of MEA (Ac) at several aqueous MEA (β) and gas-phase CO2 concentrations. …”
