Scientists have created carbon nanofibers from the air, the principle of the creation of which they will soon be presented at the exhibition of the American Chemical Society and the National Assembly.
According to the developers, the nanowires obtained will significantly reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in Earth’s atmosphere, as well as to assist the industry to provide raw materials.
Get the carbon nanofibers scientists succeeded by using tanks for electrolysis, which was filled with a molten mixture of carbon. Capacity is constantly heated to a temperature of sunlight 750 degrees, with a portion of the sun’s rays generated solar electricity and from which were used for the electrolysis of molten. Next current affects electrode in steel and produced nanofibres recovering carbon dioxide anion.
Experts note that the nanofibers obtained in this installation cost about $ 1,000 per kilogram.
If you are installing place on 1/10 of the area of the Sahara desert, then after a decade of carbon dioxide in the Earth’s atmosphere to fall to the level of the pre-industrial era.
Also, the carbon nanofibers are very durable and can be used in the structure of the aircraft, this will reduce the weight by about 20%.
