The dissolution and microfluidic mass transfer of carbon dioxide in water at high-pressure conditions are crucial for a myriad of technological applications, including microreactors, extractions, and carbon capture, utilization, and sequestration (CCUS) processes. In this experimental work, we use a high-pressure microfluidic method to elucidate the mass transfer process of CO in water at high pressure. An intriguing multiphase CO flow and dispersions are observed when operating at the pressure–temperature (–) condition close to the CO gas–liquid phase boundary ( MPa and C). We propose a series of strategies to unravel this complex multi-phase dynamics by calculating each phase's volume and mass change in a gas–liquid coexistent CO dispersion, estimating the possible CO concentration change in water, and comparing with the CO solubility data. Finally, we quantify the CO mass transfer by directly calculating the CO dissolution rate in water and estimating the volumetric mass transfer coefficient (). The results show that the mass transfer may be influenced by the specific area (), CO concentration gradient in the water slug, and the traveling speed of a dispersion.
