Abstract: Capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) from natural gas is essential for reducing CO2 emissions as a greenhouse gas as well as increasing the gas heating value. Absorption of CO2 by amine solutions is a method that has seen a widespread use as a CO2 collection technique. In this research, advanced ML approaches are utilized to simulate the CO2 loading capacity of triethanolamine (TEA) aqueous solutions as a function of system temperature, CO2 partial pressure, and amine concentration in the aqueous phase. Deep neural network (DNN), Gaussian process regressor (GPR), deep belief network (DBN), and bagging regressor (BR) are the models that have been developed. The DNN model with the coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.9990 as well as the root mean square error (RMSE) of 0.0073 outperformed other models in terms of accuracy and validity. The R2 values of 0.9911, 0.9861, and 0.9745 for DBN, BR, and GPR, accordingly, showed that other models could likewise perform with high accuracy. Moreover, trend analysis of the results confirmed that the DNN method can correctly estimate the behavior of CO2 loading with variations in the input parameters. Furthermore, sensitivity analysis showed that temperature has a decreasing effect on the CO2 loading, while amine concentration and CO2 partial pressure exhibited to have an incremental effect. Herein, the temperature had the greatest influence on the amount of CO2 loading. The final stage of the research was the leverage approach, which stated that about 99 % of the data are statistically valid and the DNN model is reliable to be replaced by experimental approaches in the prediction of CO2 absorption into certain type of solutions.
