Hmmm.
The measurement being referenced is the concentration of CO2 in the N2gas stream, not the concentration of CO2 dissolved in water.  Theabstract makes no reference to the concentration of CO2i n water. Since most of us don't deliver CO2 by means of an N2 gas stream theseresults have little if any meaning for us.
