Carbon dioxide was reacted with N-methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) in a water-in-oil (w/o) emulsion, composed of aqueous MDEA droplets as a dispersed phase and benzene solutions of polybutene (PB) and polyisobutylene (PIB) as a continuous phase, in a flat-stirred vessel to investigate the effect of non-Newtonian rheological behavior on the rate of absorption of CO₂. The mass transfer mechanism of CO₂, accompanied by a chemical reaction of CO₂ with MDEA, in the non-Newtonian w/o emulsion was applied to estimate the absorption rate of CO₂. It was found that PIB, with its elastic property, accelerated the rate of absorption of CO₂ by comparing the value of k_L in the non-Newtonian liquid with that in the Newtonian liquid.
