A semi‐empirical kinetic correlation was obtained through a shrinking core model assumption for reactive absorption of CO 2 with NaOH solution by applying response surface method analogy in a laboratory‐scale spray‐dryer absorber. The effect of approach temperature, absorbent concentration, nozzle diameter, and L / G ratio on the kinetic coefficient was studied and the optimum operating conditions to reach the maximum absorption were determined.
