Abstract
The mass transfer of CO2 into water and aqueous solutions of sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) is experimentally studied using a pressure, volume, temperature (PVT) cell at different initial pressures and a constant temperature (T = 25°C). It is observed that the transfer rate is initially much larger than expected from a diffusion process alone. The model equations describing the experiments are based on Fick's Law and Henry's Law. The experiments are interpreted in terms of two effective diffusion coefficients - one for the early-stages of the experiments and the other one for the later stages. The results show that at the early stages, the effective diffusion coefficients are one order of magnitude larger than the molecular diffusivity of CO2 in water. Nevertheless, in the later stages the extracted diffusion coefficients are close to literature values. It is asserted that at the early stages, density-driven natural convection enhances the mass transfer. A similar mass transfer enhancement was observed for the mass transfer between a gaseous CO2 rich phase with an oil (n-decane) phase. It is also found that at the experimental conditions studied addition of pure SDS does not have a significant effect on the mass transfer rate of CO2 in water.
