The present paper analyses the gas/liquid mass transfer process employing carbon dioxide as gas phase and ternary water in oil microemulsions as absorbent liquid phases. The liquid phases were obtained by a direct mixing of water, 2,2,4-trimethylpentane and sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl)sulfosuccinate (Aerosol OT). The characteristics of the microemulsions employed as liquid phase have been analysed to interpret the experimental results observed in the absorption process. More specifically, they have been analysed in relation to the percolation phenomenon and the effects produced by this phenomenon upon the different physical properties. Characteristic results have been observed for the gas/liquid mass transfer using microemulsions, because ternary microemulsions with high viscosity values in relation to pure water show a faster absorption process than the carbon dioxide/water system. This characteristic behaviour has been explained on the basis of the microemulsions internal dynamics.
