✦ Synopsis

The rate of absorption of carbon dioxide into potassium carbonate-bicarbonate buffer solutions, containing sodium hypochlorite and potassium chloride, has been experimentally determined for a 30.5 X 30.5 cm square sieve plate.

The values of the first-order reaction rate constant have been measured for the system studied by the laminar jet technique.

An analysis of these results using the Danckwerts pseudo-first order reaction method gives values of specific interfacial area and surface renewal rate comparable with earlier estimates for a similar system[l].
