Mono-Ethanol-Amine:
Pulls C02 out of air. When you heat it up after it's collected a bunch of C02, it let's go of all it's C02. All the C02 can be collected, stored and or relocated. You can use MEA or Amine over and over and over, you can repeat the process all day. They use it on nuclear submarines so they don't get asphyxiated.
Complex looking thing: HOCH 2CH 2NH 2 or C 2H 7NO
I guess it comes in two possible compositions.
Video provided by You Tube Channel (SmarterEveryDay) -->
The video doesn't provide certain details, such as, what temperature and pressure "rich amine" needs to be at in order to release the C02 it collected. How much energy is required for this process. At the same time, the amount of energy required would be relative to the scale of the apparatus. How much C02 do we need to remove or want to remove from air on any given occasion?
"rich amine" -Loaded up with C02. I'm not sure if the C02 is separate in solution or if the amine reacts with C02 to make a product of a different composition than amine.
"lean amine" - Not allot of C02 present, early stages of the process.
Screen shots from last mentioned You Tube Video:
Not that I'm really sold about all their claims related to "global warming" or "climate change". I think it's really interesting that they changed the name from "global warming" to "climate change". One of those little factoids that stimulated a persons curiosity.
Then there was this thing:
I took that screen shot a long time ago and I don't think the channel is around any more. Just a little quotation from a publication put out by some Club of Rome. Pretty interesting alright.
It is possible the problem of Global Warming, oh sorry I mean Climate Change; is a big old deception to kill economies. But for some reason, I'm compelled to ponder possible solutions to the problem, fake as it may very well be.
What if every household, had a MEA C02 collector going, and all the C02 was put into tanks, and everyone took their tanks to places like, Pepsi, Cola, those people I heard about that can trap C02 into concrete, soda stream, green houses. Why not pay people for supplying the C02? It could be a system like deposit bottles. Maybe that's a short sighted idea. Considering, how much MEA you would need for that, how much MEA is available on Earth? If the energy you use to collect C02 causes you to emit C02 in the process then wouldn't it be pointless? How much energy would one these use compared to charging up an electric car? Could the grid and all of it's related infrastructure even handle it?
Any interesting concepts of your own? Ponder with me. I enjoy comments.
This is fascinating. Can this be built easily @photonium ?
An electric boiler, apparently uses a little less than charging an electric car going by these. So, likely, implementing this would have the some issues. Mind you, you wouldn't use an electric boiler, you'd use a natural gas boiler, which creates C02. So you might have a wash out. You end up collecting all the C02 that you created to start with.
This tells you roughly how much energy it takes to charge up an electric car.
Yeah, it's not horribly complex. You got a guy that knows how to weld, or you find a couple metal containers. Grab a old hot water tank from the dump or something. Could possibly use injectors off of some junkyard scrap to inject the MEA though the air to soak up C02. The boiler part, you need a container that can take a fair fit of pressure and heat, a burner under it, so maybe like off of an old BBQ or something. No idea how a person would get any MEA, a chemist might know how to create it with common household items. Probably need a couple compressors, some kind of tank for storing C02. Old propane tank could possibly work. Not sure how they get the depleted MEA back over to "tank 1", they gotta get like an equilibrium going looks like.
