Abstract

The solubility constant of N2O in aqueous 1-dimethylamino-2-propanol (1DMA2P) solution in the concentration range of 0–3.0 mol/L was measured over the temperature range of 298–333 K, and the data used to fit existing models: Redlich-Kister, semi-empirical, and polynomial. A new model has also been developed to predict the solubility constant. Also, N2O diffusivity in aqueous 1DMA2P solution was measured over the concentration range of 0.5–2.0 mol/L and temperature range of 298–313 K. All models used fitted the solubility constant of N2O solubility in 1DMA2P solution data with absolute average deviations (ADDs) for the Redlich-Kister, semi-empirical, polynomial models and a new model of 12.2%, 8.1%, 0.2% and 2.2%, respectively. The data for N2O diffusivity in aqueous 1DMA2P solution were represented by the modified Stokes-Einstein and semi-empirical models (AADs of 2.3% and 13.6%, respectively). A new mechanism-based model was equally developed to better correlate experimental results and understand the process of diffusivity.
