Abstract: A method for enhancing the mass transfer rate of a soluble gas from a gaseous phase to an aqueous phase using a membrane including a catalyst. The method comprises wetting the membrane with a liquid such that a film of the liquid forms on at least a portion of the membrane, the film contacting at least a portion of the catalyst. The method further comprises exposing the wetted membrane to at least one soluble gas, wherein at least a portion of the soluble gas dissolves into the liquid.

Abstract: A method for enhancing the mass transfer rate of a soluble gas from a gaseous phase to an aqueous phase is provided. The method comprises positioning a membrane formed from fibers relative to a supply of liquid such that a portion of the membrane is submerged in the supply of liquid and is thereby wetted. The method further comprises moving the wetted portion of the membrane relative to the supply of liquid such that the wetted portion of the membrane exits from the supply of liquid to expose the liquid in the wetted portion of the membrane to a soluble gas. The method further comprises submerging the wetted portion in the supply of liquid.
