A high-speed camera was used to investigate the mass transfer process of CO2 chemical absorption into diethanolamine (DEA)/ethanol solution in microchannel. The volume evolution of the bubbles in the microchannel was obtained by the image-analysis method. By means of the gas pressure at the inlet and outlet of the microchannel
the average mass transfer coefficient (k) from the contact of two phases to equilibrium was attained. The influences of flow rates of gas and liquid and DEA concentration on the mass transfer coefficient were investigated. The experiment results indicated that k increased with increasing liquid flow rate and DEA concentration. For a given liquid flow rate and DEA concentration
k increased gradually up to a constant value with increasing gas phase flow rate. A correlation for estimating k was proposed and the calculated values by the present model agreed well with the experimental data.
