[...] * miγ m 1000 ln km = ln K + i ln x γ * = ln K + ln M i w i i 5 Due to chemical reaction in the liquid phase of the PZ-H2O-CO2 system, carbon dioxide is dissolved predominantly in non volatile, ionic form (Kamps et al., 2003). The fallowing chemical reactions are considered in the liquid phase: the autoprotolysis of water the formation and dissociation of bicarbonate the protonation and diprotonation of piperazine R5) and the formation of piperazine carbamate, piperazine dicarbamate R7).

[...] Carbon dioxide pure) used for the VLE measurements were obtained from Chemtron Science Pvt. Ltd., India Apparatus A VLE experimental setup with thermostated stirred equilibrium cell similar to the one used by Park and Sandall (2001), was used in this work. A detail schematic of the experimental setup is presented in Figure 1. The VLE system consists of a ~ 1.2 L stainless steel cylindrical cell connected to a calibrated external gas buffer vessel and a magnetic stirrer is used for liquid phase agitation. [...]
