An effort to reduce the emission, therefore, needs to be conducted, e.g. post-combustion capture by use of amine-based absorption. The objective of this study is to evaluate the kinetic and mass transfer parameters in a CO<sub>2</sub> absorption process using monoethanolamine (MEA), 2-(methylamino)ethanol (MMEA), and 2-(ethylamino)ethanol (EMEA) as absorbents. The experiments were conducted in a bubble reactor at atmospheric pressure and 40 °C with 10-vol% CO<sub>2</sub> flowrate of 5 NL/men. The CO<sub>2</sub> concentration leaving the reactor was measured by an IR CO<sub>2</sub> analyzer. The results obtained from this experiment were the overall absorption rates consisting of both chemical reaction and mass transfer. Analysis result shows that the reaction between CO<sub>2</sub> and amines takes place fast, therefore the mass transfer of CO<sub>2</sub> from the gas into the liquid through the gas film would control the overall absorption rate.</p>}, number={4}, journal={Journal of Mechanical Engineering and Sciences}, author={Ma’mun, S. and F.
