both vapor equilibrium data and real composition of the liquid
phase. This implies that the data base used for the determination
of the model parameters also contains speciation values, especially
for the molecular acid gas that is a key compound.
In this study, a new method based on spectrometric
measurement has been developed to get both molecular CO2 con-
centration and VLE data. This method was applied to the CO2 /
MDEA / Water system at two temperature (25 and 40  C) and amine
concentrations (20 and 35 %wt). The CO2 molecular concentration
obtained in this work is nearly proportional, as expected, to the CO2
partial pressure.
