Abstract

AbstractThe effect caused by the presence of ethylene glycol on the gas‐liquid mass transfer velocity of CO2 in a aqueous phase has been studied. In this study two different gas‐liquid contactors have been used, a bubbling stirred reactor and a flat surface stirred vessel. The first contactor, gas phase, was introduced using a porous bubbling plate. The influence of operational variables, stirring rate, gas flow rate and ethylene glycol concentration were studied. The experiments were carried out at 298.15 K using a semicontinuous regime. The final aim was to obtain empirical equations that allow the calculation of the mass transfer velocity for this system a priori.
