Abstract
The influence of hydrodynamic processes in a surfactant-rich thin liquid la yer (hypophase) on the absorption rate was studied experimentally using Wil helmy - Langmuir balance. It was shown that absorption rate for carbon diox ide in alkali solution is increased when interfacial area is varied. The me chanisms responsible for the mass transfer improvement are related to the M arangoni effects generated in this system.
