Haldane's work on gas absorption

Haldane’s work on gas absorption investigated how gases dissolve into liquids, highlighting that the rate of absorption depends on factors like partial pressure, temperature, and the properties of the gas and liquid. He introduced the concept of permeability and examined how gases diffuse through membranes or liquids, establishing quantitative relationships that explain the efficiency of processes like respiration and industrial gas purification. His findings helped improve designs for chemical reactors and respiratory devices, offering a deeper understanding of gas-liquid interactions crucial for both natural biological functions and engineering applications.
