ABSTRACT
The solubility of CO2 in ester mixtures under high pressures are studied in this article. The constant-volume method is
used to determine the solubility of CO2 in DMC + diethyl carbonate system, DMC + propyl acetate system, DMC +
propylene carbonate system, and DMC + ethylene carbonate system from 282.0 K to 303.0 K. It is found that the solu-
bility of CO2 in four mixed solvents follows the Henrys law and the linear compound has a greater ability to dissolve
CO2 than the cyclic compound at the same temperature. Furthermore, a modified equation is proposed to fit the solu-
tion data and a better equation is obtained in this paper. This will be useful for the future research in the screening of a
potential physical solvent for CO2 capture.

1. Introduction
There are several ways to separate and capture CO2 from
fossil fueled power plant which can be classified into
three general categories: pre-combustion capture, post-
ombustion capture and oxyfuel strategy. [1] The selec-
tion of a technology for a given capture route depends on
the features of the gas treated. Based on the method used
for CO2 removal, separating methods can be broadly
classified as solvent absorption, adsorption, membrane
and cryogenic fractionation. [2] Compared with other
methods, solvent absorption process, especially physical
solvent, tends to be a favored choice when the partial
pressure of CO2 is high. In addition, physical solvent can
be stripped by reducing operation pressure with little
heat.
Methanol, [3-6] propylene carbonate [7,8] and poly-
ethylene glycol dimethyl ether [9,10] are commonly used
physical solvent in CO2 capture process. A general trend
in CO2 capture research is to develop a new solvent that
has the potential for dramatic cost reduction. Dimethyl
carbonate (DMC), a “green” absorbent, with advantages
of high CO2 loading, has been proved to be an effective
and low cost absorbent for CO2 capture. [11] But the
characteristics of low boiling point and high freezing
point limit its application in industry. According to the
colligative properties of solutions, adding a non volatile
solute, can increase the boiling point and decrease the
freezing point of a solvent, which means a decreasing
loss of the solvent and an enlargement application range
respectively in CO2 capture process. Base on the above,
the absorption capacity of DMC combined with other
additive is studied in this paper.
2. Experiment Materials
CO2 with a volume fraction of 0.9999 was supplied by
BeiWen Gas in Beijing. DMC (C3H6O3, with a mass frac-
tion of 0.999, made in China), propylene carbonate
(C4H6O3, with a mass fraction of 0.999, made in China),
ethylene carbonate (C3H4O3, with a mass fraction of 0.999,
made in China), diethyl carbonate (C5H10O3, with a mass
fraction of 0.999, made in China), propyl acetate (C5H12O2,
with a mass fraction of 0.999, made in China) were all
obtained from Aladdin-Reagent Company in Shanghai. All
components were used without further purification. The
apparatus, experimental procedure and data processing
were described in detail by Xia Gui. [11] Four mixed sol-
vent (DMC + ethylene carbonate, DMC + propyl acetate,
DMC + diethyl carbonate, DMC + propylene carbonate)
were prepared, in which the amount of DMC is 50% by
volume in order to reduce errors in the measurement.

depends on the gas partial pressure, which means that the
behavior of the mixed solvents used in physical absorption
also follows the Henry’s law. Henry’s law constants of
mixed solvents are listed in Table 6.
Searching a solvent with high CO2 absorption capacity
by experiment alone would probably be very expensive
and time consuming. [15] So this paper pays attention to
discuss some aspects which may affect the identification

and selection of a potential physical solvent for CO2
capture. The solubilization of a gas solute in a physical
solvent can be divided into two steps [16]: first, the in-
teractions among the solvent molecules must be broken
to provide some cavities which can accommodate the
solute molecules; second, the cavities formed in the first
step are then filled with solute molecules and new inter-
actions between the solute and solvent molecules are also
created. In previous studies, it had been discussed that
the ability to dissolve a gas solute of a solvent depended
mainly on the interactions among the solvent molecules.
[14] Thus, in this paper, the solvent – solvent interaction
is considered to be a main factor in solvent screening,
which can be described by Hildebrand solubility pa-
rameter of the solvent.
As can be seen from Table 6, the Henry’s law constant
clearly increases when the Hildebrand parameter increases,
which also illustrates CO2 solubility in physical solvents
increases with the decreasing of Hildebrand parameter.
This is mainly because in the gas dissolution process, the
greater of the Hildebrand parameter value, the stronger of
the solvent – solvent interactions, and the less cavities
which can accommodate the solute molecules. So in order
to increase the solubility of CO2, the interactions among
solvent molecules must be minimized as much as possible
which can create more cavities.
Furthermore, according to Hildebrand and Hansen
theory, [17-19] if the interactions between solute and
solvent can be neglected, Hildebrand solubility parameter
δ can reasonably used to describe and estimate the gas
solubility in solvent. A relationship between the loga-
rithm of the gas solubility and the Hildebrand solubility
parameter δ has been given by Hildebrand and other co-
workers, which can be described as follows: [20]
where δs is the solvent solubility parameter, δi is the dis-
solved CO2 gas solubility parameter, fi/fi,l is the ratio of
the fugacities of the CO2 gas in its pure gaseous state to
its hypothetical liquid state, Vi,l is the molar volume of
the hypothetical liquid. εs is the dielectric constant of the
solvent, α is the polarizability of the solute, and Q is the
quadrupole moment of the solute. For CO2 at 25, Q =
4.1 × 10-26 e.s.u, α = 2.65 × 10-24 e.s.u, δi = 12.3 MPa1/2, Vi,l
= 55 × 10-6 m3 mol-1 and fi,l = 4.12 Mpa at 1 atm. [21] For
the mixed solvent, the parameter δs is replaced by δmixed.

where
s,j is the volume fraction of the solvent j, δs,j is the
solubility parameter of the pure solvent j and εs,j is the
dielectric constant of the pure solvent j.
But the Equation (1) cited in this paper is available
only at low pressure, bigger error of calculation occurs
when the pressure gets higher. It is obviously important
to consider the pressure impact on the application of
Equation (1). So some adjustment and modification
should be made to the equation, pressure correction items
were introduced in Equation (1), and a new equation was
proposed at high pressure in this paper, which can be
described as:
where A and B are two pressure correction factors.
Each value of the correction factors A and B for the four
mixed solvents are listed separately in Table 7.
The solvent added into the DMC can be divided into
two groups in this paper. Propylene carbonate and ethyl-
ene carbonate can be considered as a group of cyclic
compound, and propyl acetate and diethyl carbonate can
be classified as a linear compound group. As can be seen
in Table 7, the value correction factor B is about the
same, but the value correction factor A differs greatly for

different solvents. It is also found that the Henry’s law
constant decreases as the correction factor A increases.
Thus, the correction factor A brings about great influence
on the solubility prediction of carbon dioxide in liquid
solvent at high pressure. Table 7 also shows that in the
same group compound, the values of the correction factor
A are similar. But for the different group, the correction
factor A of the linear compound is larger than the cyclic
compound, which confirms the greater solubility of CO2
in linear compound mixed solvents. At the same time, it
can be seen from Figure 5, that under the same tempera-
ture, linear compound added can greatly improved the
solubility of CO2 in DMC, which also indicates the larger
of the correction factor A has a better absorption. In or-
der to verify the accuracy of the Equation (5), compari-
sons of the measured (xi) and calculated (xc) of the CO2
solubility in the four mixed solvents at 298 K were made
in Table 8 and Table 9.

2) The results show that CO2 solubility in physical
solvents increases with the decreasing of Hildebrand
parameter. The greater of the Hildebrand parameter
value, the stronger of the solvent – solvent interac-
tions, and the less cavities which can accommodate
the solute molecules.
3) It is also found by contrast that linear compound
has a greater ability to dissolve CO2 than the cyclic
compound at the same temperature. Furthermore,
the correction factor A brings about great influence
on the solubility prediction of carbon dioxide in
liquid solvent. This indicates that the correction
factor A can be regarded as an main impact factor
in the selection of a potential physical solvent for
CO2 capture.
