The enthalpies of solution of CO2 in aqueous solution of 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP) 15 wt% and 30 wt% were measured at 322.5 K and pressures range from (0.2 to 5) MPa using a flow calorimetric technique. The gas solubilities were simultaneously determined from the calorimetric data. The solubilities were compared to available literature values obtained by direct measurements. The experimental enthalpies of solution were compared to the values derived from the literature vapor liquid equilibrium data. This work provides calorimetric data that will be used later for the development of a thermodynamic model to predict both solubilities and enthalpies of solution of acid gases in aqueous amine solutions.
