Sea
has been the widely known sink for Carbon di Oxide and its likes that
form the Green House Gases which keep the surface of the earth warm, but
in excess could precipitate global warming, melting of ice caps and
several other calamities. A recent research had given birth to a new
porous material, code named the NOTT-300 which is capable of
significantly lowering the emissions from fossil fuels like CO2 and
Sulphur Di Oxide SO2.
In
the Scientific Jounal of Nature Chemistry, NOTT -300 has been described
in detail mentioning that it could be an extremely effective
alternative for the CO2 and SO2 sinks. This is also an economical
solution compared to the ones that are being utilized today.
The
new material represents a major step towards addressing the challenges
of developing a low carbon economy, which seeks to produce energy using
low carbon sources and methods.
It
has long been established that man has messed up with the nature and
the levels of CO2 are the footprints of his activity which also have a
negative effect on the climate of the earth. It is essential that these
changes are undone now.
NOTT-300
is capable of absorbing CO2 and SO2. Never before has a material been
developed that could absorb SO2 to this levels. NOTT-300 is also valued
for its selective absorptive capacities while leaving gases like
hydrogen, methane, nitrogen, oxygen alone
