APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DECOMPOSING CARBON DIOXIDE USING MICROWAVES

摘要

The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for decomposing carbon dioxide using microwaves. The temperature should be maintained at 1,800 ℃ or higher to activate carbon dioxide, thereby separating the same into carbon and oxygen, and the temperature should reach an ultra-high temperature of 2,000 ℃ or higher to completely separate carbon dioxide into carbon and oxygen. However, it is difficult to maintain said temperature in a conventional decomposition method of carbon dioxide using plasma arc. The present invention comprises a heating element which reacts to microwaves to provide a heat source for highly efficient decomposition of carbon dioxide without generating toxic gases and pollutant gases. The present invention provides an apparatus and a method for decomposing carbon dioxide using microwaves, wherein the high temperature heat for decomposing carbon dioxide is provided through microwaves, and the carbon dioxide decomposed by the provided heat can be effectively decomposed and detected.
