Experiment on carbon dioxide removal from flue gas

Reducing CO2 emissions for addressing climate change concerns is becoming increasingly important as the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere has increased rapidly since the industrial revolution. Carbon capture and storage is the process of capturing waste carbon dioxide (CO2) from large point sources, such as fossil fuel power plants, transporting it to a storage site, and depositing it where it will not enter the atmosphere, normally an underground geological formation. The aim is to prevent the release of large quantities of CO2 into atmosphere. This paper aims at manufacturing of a simple and useful unit of capture the carbon dioxide. The air with carbon dioxide is made to flow through the reaction chamber using an axial flow fan and NaOH is sprayed using a nozzle. The NaOH reacts with CO2 and form Na2CO3, and is collected in a tray. The maximum absorption rate of CO2 is found to be at NaOH solution molar concentration of 5. (C) 2018 Elsevier Ltd.
