Scientists in China have proposed store CO2 into the deep ocean
Scientists in China have proposed radical measures to lower atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2), an important contributor to global warming.
A team of researchers at the Beijing University of China released a model for sequestering carbon by injecting and also carbon dioxide into liquid form into deep-sea sediments in the latest issue of Science Advance, a sibling of the world's medical journal Science.
The analysts simulated 22 different cases by varying pressure and temperature to simulate various conditions in the sea.
The process of holding atmospheric co2 in a specific space is often referred to as 'carbon sequestration', which is one of many ways researchers have devised to prevent around the world from becoming away of control.
This is simply not the first time a promise has been made that carbon can be being injected into deep-sea sediments. Although the study may help overcome some of the problems faced in earlier research, the researchers say.
"The issue is that and also carbon dioxide can escape again into the ocean and into the atmosphere through sediments because of buoyancy, " the researchers said.
Your research is based on several previous studies that demonstrated that liquid CO2 produces hydrates (hydrates) at high and low temperatures.
"These hydrates can isolate and also carbon by creating a kind of barrier that can not penetrate under certain conditions, " the experts said.
"The results show that the reduced buoyancy and high viscosity reduce the rising airflow and the formation of the moisturizer that acts as a cover effectively reduces the permeability and ultimately seals inseparably" "It's the limit. inches
As a result, co2, which has become chemical and hydrated, melts between the sediments.
The key to the technology is injection at low temps and high pressures, the researchers added.
Now the researchers plan to test to see how this method of isolating co2 into the deep marine works in a genuine environment.
