Synthetic Stones Capture Carbon
By LL | December 13th, 2011 | Category: Chemical & Engineering News, Recent | No Comments »While scrubbers in smokestacks at coal plants can pull out toxic gases like sulfur dioxide, scientists haven’t yet developed a cost-effective technology to remove carbon dioxide from industrial exhaust. Now European researchers have tinkered with the chemical composition of limestone to produce a material that absorbs almost twice as much CO2 as the natural mineral [...]
