I am trying to understand the factors that affect the reaction between NaOH and CO2 in which CO2 can be "washed out" from a mixture of gases. From the literature I have found so far I understand that it is mainly the NaOH (liquid) concentration and flow rate that can help increase the "removal efficiency" of CO2 from a mixture of gases.

Temperature may also play a role in this and I have read that increasing the temperature of the solution from around 20 up to 50 degrees does make the rate of removal faster, albeit not by much.

However, I haven't yet found a study in which they might explain the effect of solution temperatures below 20 on this reaction (from 5 until 20 degrees)... would it reduce the speed of this reaction, and if yes, then would it be by a lot?
