“…Park et al (2003Park et al ( , 2004 presented the effect of elasticity of PIB in the benzene solution and in the w/o (water in oil) emulsion, which is composed of an aqueous alkaline solution as the dispersed phase and a benzene solution as the continuous phase, on the absorption rate of CO 2 . Park et al also measured the absorption rate of CO 2 in aqueous PAA solution with NaOH (Park et al, 2005a) and in aqueous PEO solution with monoethanolamine (Park et al, 2005b), PEO with treiethanolamine (Park et al, 2006a) and in aqueous colloidal silica (Park et al, 2006b). They showed that the viscoelastic polymers, such as PIB, PAA, PEO and colloidal silica influenced the absorption rate of CO 2 .…”
