Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how the breakdown of monoethanolamine (MEA) affects the properties of its solvent, focusing on three main degradation products.
- New measurements reveal changes in density, surface tension, and viscosity of MEA solutions with these degradation products across various ratios and temperatures.
- Findings highlight the performance differences between degraded and fresh MEA solutions, emphasizing the implications for carbon capture technology in industrial environments.
The success of CO mineralization as a potential solution for reducing carbon emissions hinges on understanding chemical interactions between basaltic minerals and CO-charged fluids. This study provides a detailed analysis of olivine dissolution in CO-water mixtures at 90 and 150 °C, 2-9 MPa, and for 8 and 24 h, in both water- and CO-dominant conditions. By using olivine crystal sections instead of powders, surface agitation is prevented, closing the gap between laboratory studies and natural settings.

Article Synopsis
- The interface between materials plays a crucial role in various applications, influencing phenomena like capillary action, adhesion, and heat transfer, while also being key to understanding molecular interactions.
- Pendant-drop tensiometry and the oscillating drop method are popular techniques for measuring surface and interfacial tensions, but can yield unreliable data if not conducted properly, emphasizing the need for careful material preparation and calibration.
- The protocol outlines best practices for accurate measurement and analysis, including purifying methods, data correction, and addressing common issues, and presents examples of interfacial tension measurements for different systems, though the entire process may take several days to complete.
The speed of sound in helium was measured along five isotherms in a temperature range from 273 to 373 K at pressures from 15 to 100 MPa with a relative expanded uncertainty ( = 2) from 0.02 to 0.04%.
