Description
Summary:In this work, reactive absorption of gases in aqueous electrolyte solutions has been investigated resulting in the development of a procedure in order to calculate the concentrations of ionic and molecular species in the liquid phase. Two duplicate experiments were conducted to investigate simultaneous reactive absorption of ammonia and carbon dioxide in partially carbonated ammonia solutions. The experiments were carried out employing an absorption  pilot plant. The compositions of the electrolytes (ammonia and carbon dioxide groups) have been determined using principle knowledge of electrolyte solutions. The results revealed that the concentrations of ionic and molecular species in the liquid phase drastically influence the absorption rates of ammonia and carbon dioxide.
