description This paper investigated the solubility of carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) in an aqueous solution of monoethanolamine (MEA) and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium dibutylphosphate ((BMIM)(DBP)) ionic liquid (IL) hybrid solvents. Aqueous solutions of MEA-(BMIM)(DBP) hybrid solvents containing different concentrations of (BMIM)(DBP) were prepared to exploit the amine’s reactive nature, combined with the IL’s non-volatile nature for CO<sub>2</sub> absorption. Response surface methodology (RSM) based on central composite design (CCD) was used to design the CO<sub>2</sub> solubility experiments and to investigate the effects of three independent factors on the solubility of CO<sub>2</sub> in the aqueous MEA-(BMIM)(DBP) hybrid solvent. The three independent factors were the concentration of (BMIM)(DBP) (0–20 wt.%), temperature (30 °C–60 °C) and pressure of CO<sub>2</sub> (2–30 bar). The experimental data were fitted to a quadratic model with a coefficient of determination (<i>R</i><sup>2</sup>) value of 0.9791. The accuracy of the developed model was confirmed through additional experiments where the experimental values were found to be within the 95% confidence interval. From the RSM-generated model, the optimum conditions for CO<sub>2</sub> absorption in aqueous 30 wt% MEA-(BMIM)(DBP) were 20 wt% of (BMIM)(DBP), a temperature of 41.1 °C and a pressure of 30 bar.
