Abstract |
The most dominant greenhouse gas which proliferates the process of global warming is Carbon Dioxide. Major amount of carbon dioxide gas is being emitted from the exhaust of the automobiles. Other gases such as carbon monoxide, and other nitrogen oxides are also emitted from the exhaust but in the present work we focus on the reduction of Carbon Dioxide gas. To reduce the emission of carbon dioxide from the exhaust we have prepared a model which has a small inbuilt chamber for Calcium oxide which reacts with carbon dioxide and forms calcium carbonate as a precipitate. The model prepared is attached to the exhaust manifold of the automobile where the gas emits from. The precipitate formed is collected in another vessel which is further used for manufacturing cement. The efficiency of the vehicle bef |
