Experiments run in the solutions equilibrated with various CO2 partial pressures (PCO2) from 30 to 100000 Pa.

In addition, the dissolution rates increase after addition of carbonic anhydrase (CA) to solutions, where the CA catalyzes CO2 conversion. However, great differences occur among various CO2 partial pressures. The experimental observations give a conclusion that the modified DBL model enables one to predict dissolution rates and their behaviour at various PCO2 with satisfactory precision at least far from equilibrium.展开更多
