Solubility of Benzene in Aqueous Solutions of Monoethanolamine Solubility of Benzene in Aqueous Solutions of Monoethanolamine Fang-Yuan Jou and Alan E. Mather* Department of Chemical & Materials Engineering, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta T6G 2G6, Canada Received November 5, 2018; Accepted November 6, 2018 Abstract: The solubility of benzene in aqueous solutions of monoethanolamine has been measured at temperatures ranging from 25 °C to 100 °C. Keywords: Liquid-liquid equilibria, aromatic hydrocarbons, alkanolamines Aqueous solutions of alkanolamines are used for the removal of acid gases from gas mixtures or liquid hydrocarbons. Some hydrocarbons, especially BTX ( benzene, toluene, xylenes) are absorbed in the alkanolamine solution. These compounds have a deleterious effect on sulfur plants and so knowledge of the amount of aro- matics absorbed is important for the design of treating systems, and in evaluating environmental contamination. Another problem with aromatic hydrocarbons is their tendency to induce foaming in gas treating solutions. Few data are available for the solubility of aromatic compounds in alkanol- amine solutions. Critchfield et al. [1] presented data for the solubility of a number of hydrocarbons in various alkanolamine solutions. A few points for the solubility of benzene in monoethanolamine (MEA) solutions were obtained. Valtz et al. [2] reported data for aromatic compounds in various alkanolamine solutions. Some data were obtained for benzene in MEA solutions. Valtz et al. [3] presented data for the solubility of benzene in methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) and diglycolamine® (DGA) solutions. Valtz et al. [4] also presented data for the solubility of toluene in alkanolamine solutions. This work was undertaken as part of a study of the solubility of aromatic com- pounds in aqueous alkanolamine solutions. *Corresponding author: [email protected] DOI: 10.7569/JNGE.2018.692506 J. Natural Gas Eng., Vol. 3, No. 2, December 2018 109 Jou and Mather.: Solubility of Benzene in Aqueous Solutions of Monoethanolamine Experimental Work The experimental apparatus and procedure were similar to that used by Jou et al. [5] which has been used for phase equilibria in this laboratory. Hence only a brief description follows. The apparatus consisted of an equilibrium cell equipped with windows so that the contents were easily visible. The contents were mixed using a magnetic piston pump, described by van Doorn & Mather [6]. The cell and pump were housed in a temperature-controlled air bath. The temperature of the contents of the cell was measured by a Type J thermocouple. The thermo- couple was calibrated against a platinum resistance thermometer and found to have an uncertainty of ± 0.1 K. The pressure was measured using digital Heise gauges. They were calibrated against a dead-weight gauge and found to be accu- rate within 0.5% of full scale. The chemicals were obtained from the following sources and were stated to be of the given purity: benzene (Aldrich, HPLC 99+%), n-heptane (Aldrich, HPLC 99+%), ethylene glycol (Aldrich, anhydrous, 99.8%), water (double distilled). Prior to the introduction of the fluids, the apparatus was brought to the desired temperature and purged with methane to remove traces of oxygen. Approximately 50 cm3 of the monoethanolamine (MEA) solution was fed by gravity to the equilibrium cell and a vacuum drawn to remove the meth- ane. The benzene was added and the pump started to recirculate the upper phase through the solvent. At equilibrium, as established by a constant cell pressure, the pump was stopped and the phases analysed. The pressure was maintained by a spindle press at a level to ensure that no vapour phase was present.

Natural Gas Eng., Vol. 3, No. 2, December 2018 111 Jou and Mather.: Solubility of Benzene in Aqueous Solutions of Monoethanolamine is a minor component by weight and its molecular weight is much smaller than that of benzene and MEA, all three components must be individually determined. A sample of the aqueous phase was taken into a 40 ml bomb equipped with a magnetic stirrer. The bomb contained 2 g of n-heptane to extract the benzene. A sample of the benzene-rich phase was taken into a bomb containing 2 g of ethylene glycol. The ethylene glycol (EG) extracted the water and MEA from the benzene. An HP 5890A gas chromatograph was used for the analysis. It contained a 2 m long, 3.175 mm OD column packed with 80/100 mesh Chromosorb 104. The oven was maintained at 200 °C for the heptane sample and 200 °C for 3.5 min and then ramped to 250 °C for 20 min for the EG sample. The heptane completely extracts the benzene and contains less than 0.01% of water or amine. The aqueous sample was then taken for titration to determine the exact amount of amine. The experimental procedures were developed in previous experiments of measure- ments of the solubility of aromatic compounds in water [7]. Results and Discussion The results are presented in Table 1. The first column gives the concentration of the original MEA solution (no benzene) as mole per cent MEA. The concentration of the three components (water, benzene, MEA) in the aqueous phase is denoted by X. The concentration of these three components in the benzene-rich phase is denoted by Y. All concentrations are given in mole per cent. The results for 100 °C are presented in Figure 1, where the compositions of the coexisting phases are plotted versus the concentration of the original MEA solution. The upper curve, labeled Yb, gives the concentration of benzene in the benzene-rich phase. The lower curve, labeled Xb, gives the concentration of the benzene in the aqueous phase. The two curves converge in the upper right-hand corner. This point is called the plait point and is the last point in the two-phase region.

Because of the low vapour pressure of glycols, limited information on glycol solubility in high pressure systems is available in the literature.

  • Chapter 18 Amines in Order for a Drug to Be Effective Orally, It Generally
    Chapter 18 Amines In order for a drug to be effective orally, it generally has to be reasonable soluble in water so that it can be transported through the blood. Since amines are weak bases, they are often converted to salts with some acid and therefore may oral drugs have amine salts as part of their structure. One reason for their presence is that they confer some water solubility to the drug. The three-dimensional models show the shapes of amine molecules; notice the lone pair of electrons on nitrogen is not shown but affects the geometry about the nitrogen Primary, secondary and tertiary amines have 1, 2 or 3 alkyl groups attached to nitrogen. In these cases the alkyl group is the methyl In the IUPAC system, STEP 1 Name the longest carbon chain bonded to the N atoms as alkanamines by replacing e of the alkane name with amine.

  • In This Handout, All of Our Functional Groups Are Presented As Condensed Line Formulas, 2D and 3D Formulas and with Nomenclature Prefixes and Suffixes (If Present)
    In this handout, all of our functional groups are presented as condensed line formulas, 2D and 3D formulas and with nomenclature prefixes and suffixes (if present). Organic names are built on a foundation of alkanes, alkenes and alkynes. Those examples are presented first and you need to know those rules. The strategies can be found in Chapter 4 of our textbook (alkanes: pages 93-98, cycloalkanes 102-104, alkenes: pages 104-110, alkynes: pages 112-113 and combinations of all of them 113-115). After introducing examples of alkanes, alkenes, alkynes and combinations of them, the functional groups are presented in order of priority. A few nomenclature examples are provided for each of the functional groups. Examples of the various functional groups are presented on pages 115-135 in the textbook. Two overview pages are on pages 136-137. Some functional groups have a suffix name when they are the highest priority functional group and a prefix name when they are not the highest priority group, and these are added to the skeletal names with identifying numbers and stereochemistry terms (E and Z for alkenes, R and S for chiral centers and cis and trans for rings). Several low priority functional groups only have a prefix name. A few additional special patterns are shown on pages 98-102. The only way to learn this topic is practice (over and over). The best practice approach is to actually write out the names (on an extra piece of paper or on a white board, and then do it again). The same functional groups are used throughout the entire course.
