Every time we drive a car, then the vehicle will spew carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and then floated heats the earth for thousands of years.
Trees can absorb CO2 indeed, but it is not possible to cover the earth with a tree will not solve the problem, because the acceleration of the vehicle number is not matched with the maintenance and preservation of forests well.
The idea of the experts sort out the sky, is one effective way is to suck CO2 from the air with "artificial trees" that can work 1000 times faster than the original tree.
Columbia University, USA. conducting experiments create artificial tree with creamy-white plastic shards shaped like artificial leaves, plastic is a resin of the type that is used to pull calcium out of the water in a water softener, when the resin is filled with sodium carbonate, he was able to pull CO2 from the air, additional carbon will be transformed into bicarbonate or caustic soda.
plastic tree research results Columbia University has two advantages:
- CO2 absorbs quickly.
- gas C) 2 which must be separated by simply rinsing with water in a vacuum, then CO2 was easily removed.
plans a separator that is small but can catch one ton of CO2 emissions per day-an average of 75 cars. Co2 is spreading rapidly, can be absorbed by the tool, so as to eliminate them.
How it Works
- The wind pushes air into the plastic filter coated tools that extract CO2 absorber, when the air's CO2 content will reappear reduced.
- When the filter begins to saturate, CO2 lowered into the vacuum chamber and rinsed with water vapor to remove CO2 from the weakly bound in the filter.
- Filters CO2 put back into the container, separated from the water, until the liquid is pressurized and pumped into the ground
with CO2 gas we realize how very dangerous, important steps of Columbia University's research results in the end we all can sort out the sky become healthier.
