Solubility of Hydrogen Sulfide in Aqueous Solutions of Methyldiethanolamine and diethanolamine

The solubility of H2S is an important parameter for modeling H2S absorption. Since the direct measurement of H2S solubility in aqueous amine solutions is impossible, this work initially attempted to develop an H2S analogy method, however, this was unsuccessful. Consequently, H2S solubilities were measured in aqueous amines which were completely protonated with HCI over a temperature range of 25-60℃. The solvents investigated in this work included 0-50% aqueous solutions of methyldiethanolamine and diethanolamine. Thereafter, a new empirical correlation was developed that can predict Henry's constant for H2S using only the solubility of H2S in water and t도 molecular weight of the aqueous solvent.
