The main purpose of this study is to provide reaction kinetics data of CO2 absorption into glycinepromoted methyl diethanolamine (MDEA) by using laboratory-scale wetted wall column equipment at atmospheric pressure. By varying temperature from 303.15 to 328.15 and glycine concentration from 1% to 3%, and the carbon dioxide absorption rate is measured by titration of liquid effluent. Based on the result of this study, we observed that by increasing the temperature and concentration of glycine, the absorption rate of carbon dioxide in the MDEA solution would increase. In addition, the reaction rate constant was affected by the temperature and the concentration of the promoter. The correlation of reaction rate constant k glycine is k glycine =8.113E+18exp (-5137.6/T) with activation energy for glycine promoter is 42.714 kJ/mol.
