An example of a homemade unit. The Corsi–Rosenthal Box is a design for a do-it-yourself air purifier that can be built comparatively inexpensively. It consists of four [1] or five [2] [3] HVAC particulate air filters that form a cube and a box fan to draw air through the filters.
The Orca carbon capture plant is a facility that uses direct air capture to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere (The name, "Orca" comes from the Icelandic word, "orka" which means "energy". [1] It was constructed by Climeworks and is joint work with Carbfix, an academic-industrial partnership that has developed a novel approach to capture ...
In a cyclical process designed in 2012 by professor Klaus Lackner, the director of the Center for Negative Carbon Emissions (CNCE), dilute CO 2 can be efficiently separated using an anionic exchange polymer resin called Marathon MSA, which absorbs air CO 2 when dry, and releases it when exposed to moisture.
The airbox allows the use of one air filter instead of multiples, reducing complexity. Developments arising from concerns about engine emissions during the late 1970s allow the airbox to collect pump gases from the crankcase and the tank air vent and re-feed them to the engine.
Example of a Roush cold air intake system installed on a sixth generation Ford Mustang Illustration of how the first generation Honda Ridgeline's cold air intake system gets fresh air forward of the radiator and into its airbox using an air channel created by the bulkhead cover and rubber seals under the engine's hood.
The terms carbon capture and storage (CCS) and carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) are closely related and often used interchangeably. [11] Both terms have been used predominantly to refer to enhanced oil recovery (EOR) a process in which captured CO 2 is injected into partially-depleted oil reservoirs in order to extract more oil. [11]
Carbon sequestration is part of the natural carbon cycle by which carbon is exchanged among the biosphere, pedosphere (soil), geosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere of Earth. [citation needed] Carbon dioxide is naturally captured from the atmosphere through biological, chemical, or physical processes, and stored in long-term reservoirs.
A carbon dioxide scrubber is a piece of equipment that absorbs carbon dioxide (CO 2). It is used to treat exhaust gases from industrial plants or from exhaled air in life support systems such as rebreathers or in spacecraft , submersible craft or airtight chambers .
