Density, viscosity and surface tension were measured over a wide range of compositions and temperatures, producing a consistent thermophysical dataset for two ionic liquids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Taylor-bubble setup was then developed and operated using three capillaries of different diameter. High-speed video recordings and image analysis were used to study bubble rise dynamics and to determine the liquid-side mass-transfer coefficient k<\/em>L<\/sub> from the progressive decrease in CO2<\/sub> bubble volume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
