5 5 Absorption of CO into carbonate solution The reactions (1) CO + - HCO 3 - () HCO CO H O Overall reaction CO + H O+ CO 3 - HCO 3 - Reaction is a proton transfer reaction and much faster than reaction 1 reaction 1 is rate determining

18 18 Conclusions An expression for the second order kinetic constant for the CO reaction CO + - HCO 3- at infinite dilution was obtained up to 70 o C Second order kinetic constant based on activities is a real constant and independent of the solvent concentrations and equals the concentration based second order kinetic constant at infinite dilution. This should be confirmed with measurement with K, Na and Li

19 19 Conclusions Aqueous K CO 3 absorbs CO faster than Na CO 3 Promoting the carbonate solutions with amines gives 10 times higher absorption rates Promoting potassium carbonate gives higher absorption rates than promoting sodium carbonate Both zwitterion and termolecular reaction mechanisms are able to predict the kinetic constants
