CO 2 diluted with N 2 was absorbed by aqueous DEA solutions in a high shear jet absorber consisting of a high pressure stainless steel vessel with a pressure nozzle at the top. The results show that equilibrium conditions can be rapidly reached under high shear conditions. CO 2 removal expressed by moles of CO 2 absorbed per mole of DEA increased with gas flow rate and decreased with liquid flow rate. The overall mass transfer capacity coefficient K g a was found to increase with gas flow rate and solution concentration. K g a went through a maximum with solution flow rate. Increasing the CO 2 partial pressure was found to decrease K g a.
