Global warming is increasing permanently, because the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere is rising continuously. According to National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration, the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere was 407 ppm in June 2016 and 413 ppm in April 2017 as a last record for now. If the effects of other greenhouse gases, such as CH4, N<su...

The authors propose a solar cooling system employing a steam-driven triple effect absorption chiller as a new technique for saving CO2 emission in the air conditioning field. The absorption chiller is a cooling machine using thermal energy as a drive source, and it is ideal for utilizing solar heat. In addition, by employing a triple effect absorption chiller of high efficiency, a high energy s...

A major challenge in retrieving CO2 concentrations from thermal infrared remote sensing comes from the fact that measurements in the 4.3 and 15mm absorption bands (AIRS or TES) are sensitive to both temperature and CO2 variations. This complicates the selection of absorption channels with maximum CO2 concentration information content. In contrast, retrievals using near infrared (NIR) CO2 absorp...

the equilibrium solubility data of co2 in the various aqueous blends of triisopropanolamine (tipa) + monoethanolamine (mea) with the total alkanolamine concentration of 2 mole / dm3 were measured at the temperatures of 30, 40, 50, 60 and 70 oc and co2 partial pressures below 100 kpa. the experiments were done in an atmospheric gas absorption system and the amount of absorbed co2 was measured wi...

The main objective of this paper is to examine the effect of nanomaterials on mass transfer coefficient in bubble type absorption of carbon dioxide by experiment. The absorption process is carried out in a bubble column and in room temperature. Mass transfer coefficient, saturated concentration of CO2, and gas holdup are determined in this system. The kinds of nanomaterials, the concentrations ...

Ionic liquids (ILs) have been proposed as suitable sorbents for CO2 capture because of their high CO2 absorption capacity, thermal stability, negligible vapour pressure and physico-chemical tunability. However, the environmental implications of ILs are currently largely unknown because of a lack of data. The issue is further complicated by their complex chemical structures and numerous precurso...

We discuss the spectroscopic requirements for a laser absorption spectrometer (LAS) approach to high-precision carbon dioxide (CO2) measurements in the troposphere. Global-scale, high-precision CO2 measurements are highly desirable in an effort to improve understanding and quantification of the CO2 sources and sinks and their impact on global climate. We present differential absorption sounding...

The high-resolution (R 1⁄4 25; 000) infrared M-band spectrum of the massive protostar NGC 7538 IRS 9 shows a narrow absorption feature at 4.779 lm (2092.3 cm 1) that we attribute to the vibrational stretching mode of the 13CO isotope in pure CO icy grain mantles. This is the first detection of 13CO in icy grain mantles in the interstellar medium. The 13CO band is a factor of 2.3 narrower than t...
