Abstract
The mass transfer coefficient of physical absorption by a free surface into agitated liquid was measured. Oxygen and helium were being absorbed into water and solutions of strong inorganic electrolytes. It has been found that the mass transfer coefficient decreases with increasing salt concentration. This has been attributed to the surface film properties of the electrolyte solutions. Correlations for single-component liquids, suggested in the literature, are short of yielding an adequate description of the changes in mass transfer coefficient values provoked by the addition of salts. An adequate description has been obtained by including the effects of gravity and surface forces in the form of Weber and Froude numbers as well as the effect of electric forces expressed by the value of surface potential.
