Abstract: The binary vapor-liquid equilibrium data of CO2 in diethylene glycol(monomethyl, monoethyl, monobutyl, dimethyl, diethyl, dibutyl) ether were determined from 288.15 to 318.15 K at pressure up to 6 MPa based on the constant-volumemethod.Itwas found by contrast that the ether group in solvents can promote the CO2 absorption, but the hydroxyl group will inhibit the CO2 absorption.Furthermore, the solubilities of CO2 showed an upward trendwith the increasing molecular lengths of absorbents.The experimental data were also correlatedwith a modified Patel-Teja equation of state(PT EOS) combined with the traditional van derWaals one-fluid mixing rules and the results showed a satisfactory agreement between the model and the experimental data.

Key words: Vapor-liquid equilibrium, CO2, Diethylene glycol ethers, PT EOS
