4. Reasons to avoid increase of c02
• Co2 is directly proportional to utilization of fossil fuels.
• Co2 is one of the greenhouse gas which causes global warming.
• Nature always has a power to balance everything but because of
manmade disturbance there is a serious imbalance of co2.
• In some conditions Co2 reacts with fog and forms a dangerous
substance which can cause death of human being.
5. REVERSE COMBUSTION:
• When ever we burn fossil fuels like petrol,diesel,coal etc, they
release Co2 along with water, heat energy. This process is called
combustion.
CxHy + (x+y/4)O2 xCO2 + yH2O + Heat
• Similarly what if this process is reversible
Xco2 + yH2O + Heat CxHy + (x+y/4)O2
• This is called Reverse combustion.
6. Does Reverse combustion possible
• The main difficulty while doing reverse combustion is providing
high energy, providing that much high energy is a cost effective.
• So by taking cost in to consideration it is decided that using
renewable energy can be helpful.
• One more difficulty is how we will capture CO2 from power
plants.
• However An amine based solution can absorb CO2 when flue
gases from power plants are passed through it.
7. Procedure for Reverse combustion
• Collecting co2 from
power plants
collecting
• Using a catalyst
bicarbonate solution
undergoes a reaction
in presence of water
and heat.
Reverse
combustion • Hydro carbons
nothing but fuel is
obtained
fuel
8. Merits & Demerits
MERITS
• Economical
• Doesn't cause pollution
• No noise
DEMERITS
• Sometimes Needs Reactor
• Slow process
• Requires large amount of
energy
9. Conclusion:
• The inputs of reverse combustion are much costlier so this
process is economical.
• The output of reverse combustion will be a fuel which on
combustion gives out co2, we will reuse it so no excess co2 will
be added to atmosphere thus we can control Global warming.
