Volumetric properties of (water + diethanolamine) systems

Abstract

Densities of completely miscible (water + methyldiethanolamine) and (water + ethyldiethanolamine) systems have been measured over the full range of compositions at temperatures from 25 to 80 °C. Results of these measurements have been used in calculating excess molar volumes and partial molar volumes of each component. We have also identified different measures of the thermal expansion of these systems and have calculated some of these derivative quantities. The partial molar volumes and their derivatives with respect to temperature provide a basis for extending our understanding of molecular interactions in these (water + organic) systems. Keywords: diethanolamines, excess molar volumes, partial molar volumes, expansivities, aqueous solutions.
