Carbon dioxide capture technologies become important given the current global warming is happening requires technology that can reduce gas emissions into the atmosphere. It's just that the technology is still expensive and inefficient.
In the 239th National Meeting of the American Chemical Society (ACS), Robert Perry and his colleagues explained that the coal-fired plants are the largest source of CO2 emissions. Than 8,000 existing coal power plants in the United States, as many as 2.8 billion tons of CO2 released into the atmosphere each year. Not to mention similar than 50,000 power plants worldwide.
Departing from this, Robert Perry, a chemist working with GE Global Research in Niskayun, New York, developed a material that in laboratory-scale testing is capable of absorbing more than 90% of CO2 is added into the system.
Aminosilikon, a material that can be found in shampoo hair care products, fabric softeners or flexible plastic that is resistant to high temperatures were developed further. Material in the form of the solution, the plan will be tested to absorb CO2 and then move it to a system that serves to separate CO2 from aminosilikon. Aminosilikon solution will then be recycled back to react with the gases from the chimney.
