The absorption of carbon dioxide in organic solvents containing acetyl groups (ethylene glycol diacetate, diethylene glycol diacetate, triethylene glycol diacetate, propylene glycol diacetate, ethyl cellosolve acetate, 1-4 butanediol diacetate, glycerol triacetate and beta-phenyl acetate) is studied. Bunsen absorption coefficients in the range of 5 to 50 atm and at 25-degrees-C are obtained. Some considerations about the correlation between absorptive capacity and the molecular structure of these organic compounds are presented.
