Investigation of the Phase‐Separation Point During CO2 Absorption in the DETA–Sulfolane–Water System
Carbon and Hydrogen, EarlyView.Optical scattering diagnostics combined with generalized solubility product modeling enables quantitative prediction of phase separation in DETA–sulfolane–water biphasic CO2 absorbents. ABSTRACT The phase‐separation behavior of liquid–liquid biphasic amine absorbents is typically identified using bubbling reactors, where visual observation is employed ...
