The influence of addition of 2-(1-piperazinyl)-ethylamine (as a promoter) on the solubility and absorption rate of carbon dioxide (CO2) in aqueous potassium carbonate solution (as a main solvent) was investigated experimentally, using a vapor liquid equilibrium (VLE) equipment in temperatures from 303.15 to 323.15 K and CO2 initial partial pressures between 25 and 75 kPa. The experimental data showed that the addition of 2-(1-piperazinyl)-ethylamine to potassium carbonate solution results in a significant enhancement in the solubility and absorption rate of CO2. The response surface methodology was applied to explore the relationship between independent parameters on the CO2 loading capacity of blended solution.
