The solubility of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and carbon dioxide (CO2) in diethy
lene glycol (DEG) has been determined at temperatures in the range 298-398
K at pressures up to 7.5 MPa (for H2S) or 20 MPa (for CO2). The experimenta
l results were correlated by the Peng-Robinson equation of state, and inter
action parameters have been obtained for these systems. The parameters in t
he Krichevsky-Ilinskaya equation were calculated from these interaction par
ameters. The vapor-phase compositions predicted by the equation of state ha
ve been compared with published data. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All ri
