Record 2 2006-01-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Anti-pollution Measures
CONT

The CANSOLV CO2 Capture System is a regenerable carbon dioxide (CO2) scrubbing process. This patented technology uses an aqueous amine solution, CANSOLV Absorbent DC101T, to achieve bulk removal of carbon dioxide from a large variety of gas streams. The scrubbing by-product is pure, water saturated CO2 gas recovered by steam stripping.

Key term(s)
  • carbon dioxide capture system

French

Domaine(s)
  • Mesures antipollution
CONT

Le système de captage CO2 CANSOLV est un procédé unique permettant de récupérer le dioxyde de carbone (CO2). Cette technologie brevetée utilise l'absorbant CANSOLV DC101TM, une solution à base d'amine, afin d'absorber la majeure partie du CO2 contenu dans les écoulements gazeux provenant de divers types d'industries. Le sous-produit obtenu, une fois la solution d'amine régénérée, est du CO2 sous forme gazeuse saturée en eau.

  • Chemistry
  • Pollutants
  • Spacecraft
CONT

Endeavour is outfitted with a Regenerative Carbon Dioxide Removal System that may be used in tandem with Lithium Hydroxide (LioH) canisters to remove carbon dioxide from the crew cabin atmosphere. The regenerative system, if used alone, would eliminate the need to carry extensive amounts of LioH canisters for a long flight. Currently, the crew must change out LioH canisters daily as part of spacecraft housekeeping. The regenerative system works by removing the CO2 and then releasing it to space through a vent. The new system will not be used alone for Endeavour's first flight, but will be tested.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Horticulture
OBS

Le plus souvent c'est la lumière qui est limitante (et, dans ce cas, il ne sert à rien d'augmenter la température ou le CO2), mais si celle-ci est suffisante (à certaines heures du jour ou grâce à un appoint artificiel), c'est alors généralement le gaz carbonique qui limite la photosynthèse et on peut avoir la tentation d'en accroître l'apport.
