Is it possible for a gas absorption reaction be first diffusion-controlled at low loading, then turns kinetic-controlled?

It's about CO2 absorption with MEA in miniscule volume. And would a pseudo first order reaction assumption still be valid if there is no mixing and agitation?

Qazi Sohaib

I don't think it's possible the way you described it. Especially for reactive absorbents like MEA.
