APPLICATION OF MECHANOCHEMICALLY ACTIVATED SODIUM CARBONATE AS A CO2 ABSORBENT IN ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

摘要

Environmental pollution is a serious problem that affects air, water and soil. Emission of CO2 into the atmosphere is considered to be a major cause of the greenhouse effect and global warming. The present invention relates to the application of mechanochemically activated sodium carbonate to the environment, owing to the significant increase in the absorption and chemisorption properties of sodium carbonate due to activation. Using activated sodium carbonate, it was shown that the mass of the starting sample increase up to 30% at room conditions and temperature over time. Sodium carbonate activated in mechanochemical activator, has significantly increased absorption properties, and also can be applied to existing appliances that otherwise use sodium carbonate for the purpose of CO2 absorption, for environmental protection, which would also increase their effectiveness.
