In this work, the CO absorption rates were investigated for aqueous carbonate solution pro- 2 2 moted by different addictives in a wetted wall column. The effect of concentration of boric acid on the overall gas-phase mass transfer coefficient and vapor-liquid equilibrium data was discussed. Results showed that the addition of boric acid can significantly enhance the CO2 absorption rate. The overall mass transfer coefficient increased by 80% with the addition of 3 wt% boric acid. CO2 partial pressure increased with the increasing temperature of aqueous potassium car- bonate. However it decreased when boric acid was added, which would be favorable for CO2 absorption.
