  2. Biological carbon fixation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_carbon_fixation

    Biological carbon fixation, or сarbon assimilation, is the process by which living organisms convert inorganic carbon (particularly carbon dioxide, CO 2) to organic compounds. These organic compounds are then used to store energy and as structures for other biomolecules .

  4. C3 carbon fixation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C3_carbon_fixation

    C 3 carbon fixation is the most common of three metabolic pathways for carbon fixation in photosynthesis, the other two being C 4 and CAM. This process converts carbon dioxide and ribulose bisphosphate (RuBP, a 5-carbon sugar) into two molecules of 3-phosphoglycerate through the following reaction: CO 2 + H 2 O + RuBP → (2) 3-phosphoglycerate

  5. Carbon sequestration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_sequestration

    Geologic and biologic carbon sequestration of excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere emitted by human activities. [1] Carbon sequestration is the process of storing carbon in a carbon pool. [2]: 2248 It plays a crucial role in limiting climate change by reducing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

  6. Direct air capture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_air_capture

    Flow diagram of direct air capture process using sodium hydroxide as the absorbent and including solvent regeneration An example of what Direct Air Capture could look like and how the process works. Direct air capture (DAC) is the use of chemical or physical processes to extract carbon dioxide (CO 2) directly from the ambient air. [1]

  7. Carbonless copy paper - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonless_copy_paper

    Carbonless copy paper was first produced by the NCR Corporation, applying for a patent on June 30, 1953. [2] Formerly, the options were to write documents more than once or use carbon paper, which was inserted between the sheet being written upon and the copy. Carbonless paper was used as business stationery requiring one or more copies of the ...

  8. Photorespiration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photorespiration

    C 2 photosynthesis (also called glycine shuttle and photorespiratory CO 2 pump) is a CCM that works by making use of – as opposed to avoiding – photorespiration. It performs carbon refixation by delaying the breakdown of photorespired glycine, so that the molecule is shuttled from the mesophyll into the bundle sheath .

  9. Carbonization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonization

    [2] Carbonization is a pyrolytic reaction, therefore, is considered a complex process in which many reactions take place concurrently such as dehydrogenation, condensation, hydrogen transfer and isomerization. Carbonization differs from coalification in that it occurs much faster, due to its reaction rate being faster by many orders of magnitude.
