and carbon nanotube (CNT) particles which showed different hydrophobic properties were chosen for the investigation. The experimental results were compared with that of micron-size activated carbon (AC) and Al

no enhancement by micron-size Al

was found
and with the increase of Al

concentration
the enhancement factor decreased. However
nano-Al

showed a weak enhancement for the CO

absorption. AC and CNT particles all intensified the gas-liquid mass transfer effectively
yet the trend of the enhancement factor with stirring speed for the two particles was different. With increasing stirring speed
the enhancement factor of AC particles was decreased
whereas in CNT suspensions it was increased. The experimental phenomena demonstrated a difference in enhancement mechanism for different size particles. For nano-particles
besides the influence of adsorbability and hydrophobicity
the micro-convection caused by
Brownian motion should be also taken into account. Considering the micro-convection effect
a theoretical model was developed to shed light on the absorption enhancement by nano-particles.
