Abstract
In this study, we have reported a new experimental measurement of the density, viscosity, conductivity, pH, surface tension and thermal stability of three different deep eutectic solvents- DES, Choline chloride+Monoethanolamine and ChCl-MEA; Choline chloride+Diethanolamine, ChCl-DEA; and Choline chloride+Methyldiethanolamine, ChCl-MDEA, representing the primary, secondary and tertiary amines, respectively. The experimental data was obtained at temperature from 293.15-353.15 K and for three different choline chloride:amine molar ratios of 1:6, 1:8 and 1:10. Results revealed that amine-based DESs are more thermally stable as compared to stand-alone amine solvents. The density and viscosity showed a negative relationship with temperature in the linear regression model based on the least square approach. On the other hand, the conductivity increased linearly with increasing the temperature. The density, viscosity, stability and conductivity increased with decreasing molar ratio of the amine in the DESs. However, there was no clear trend in the pH with molar ratio. The prepared DESs showed very promising results in CO2 capturing.
