Measurement of the intrinsic mass transfer coefficient for CO2 dissolution in brine

Wet CO2 density was used as an independent variable, in the place of pressure, since it was found to play a critical role in the onset of gas entrainment. Geologic storage of CO2 via the surface dissolution method requires different operating conditions for different applications. Importantly, since the composition of brine varies between locations, the dependency of kL on NaCl salinity allows for location specific process design.
