The neutralization of sodium hydroxide by carbon dioxide occurring during the process of carbonization precipitation of sodium aluminate solution was investigated. Firstly, the effects of those main factors such as CO2 concentration、temperature、initial concentration of NaOH were investigated. Then the kinetics equation concerning this reaction was obtained after proper data treatment. The results showed that it assumes an apparent activation energy of 8.06 kJ/mol which indicated a diffusion-controlled process. Furthermore, based on the principles governing diffusion-controlled process, the dependence of neutralization rate on gas flow was deduced theoretically with a form as: rd=KDKCA(Q/VL)2/3 whose plausibility was validated by those experimental research thereafter.
