The document describes Air-Ink, an ink made from captured air pollution. It discusses the process of using a Kaalink device to harvest soot from vehicle exhaust, then purifying it through proprietary methods to remove toxins and create various ink types. The Air-Ink aims to both reduce pollution and allow captured soot to be put to creative uses like artwork. It argues that widespread adoption of this process could meaningfully reduce global air pollution and its health impacts.

3. INTRODUCTION
 Recycling environmental air pollution and convert it
to paints/pigments and printing ink.
 Firstly AIR INK products were used in August 2016
in association with Tiger Beer to create street art.
 Founded by Graviky Labs, a spin-off group of MIT
Media Lab
 ANIRUDH SHARMA is the Founder of Graviky Lab.
 We introduce project KAALINK​ with the vision of
converting/recycling air pollution into industrial
grade paint/inks. Soot (Black Carbon) is a mass of
impure carbon particles resulting from the
incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons i.e. air
pollution.

 INTRODUCING AIR-INK. THE FIRST INK MADE ENTIRELY
OUT OF AIR POLLUTION.

5. ABOUT KAALINK
 Kaalink is a contraption retrofitted to the exhaust pipe of
vehicles to capture the outgoing pollutants. This does not
affect vehicle/engine performance. Soot collected by Kaalink
undergoes various proprietary processes to remove heavy
metals and carcinogens. The end product is purified carbon
based pigment. In the final stage, the carbon is taken through
another chemical process to make different types of inks and
paints.

6. PROCESS OF AIR-INK
Kaalink is developed primarily for mitigating some of the world’s most
harmful emissions. The device is prepared well, and it is doing so on a
small scale. Kaalink is being used to capture pollution from vehicle
exhausts. It is then removing all toxic components from the harvested
pollution to create clean and safe black ink that artists can use as
normal ink.
According to the company “45 minutes worth of vehicular emissions
captured by the Kaalink device can produce 1 fluid ounce of Air Ink.”

7.  While cheaper carbon black inks are manufactured
through the deliberate burning of fossil fuels, we
use our proprietary device––what we call
KAALINK––to capture soot that is already being
emitted from vehicles. KAALINK is retrofitted to the
exhaust pipe of vehicles/generators to capture the
outgoing pollutants.

8. HARVESTING POLLUTION
& CREATING INK
 The unit automatically turns on when an engine
is activated and gases start flowing through the
exhaust. This activates the flow and thermo
sensor, which, in turn, engages a mechatronic
capture system. All fine particle matter is then
captured within the walls of the unit. however,
gases are allowed to pass through, leaving the
engine unaffected. When the lights on the
exterior of the unit turn from blue to red, the
catchment is full.
 Back in the lab, the captured pollution is taken
through a process that removes trace heavy
metals and carcinogens. The purified soot goes
through several industrial processes to make
different types of inks and paints.

9.  The soot we collect undergoes various proprietary processes
to remove heavy metals and carcinogens. the end product is a
purified carbon rich pigmen.
 We purify the carbon pigment by cutting out the heavy metals,
dust particles, and all other harmful materials.
 The carbon is then used to make different types of inks and
paints.

10. THE AIR-INK RANGE TYPES
EVERY DROP OF INK IN OUR PRODUCTS HAS BEEN MADE FROM AIR
POLLUTION. WHENEVER THEY’RE USED TO DRAW, WRITE, PAINT OR
CREATE, THEY’RE LITERALLY MAKING OUR STREETS MORE BEAUTIFUL.
0.7MM ROUND TIP
Fine point marker for everyday creativity.
Approx. 40 minutes of diesel car pollution.
2MM ROUND TIP
Perfect for shading and small detail.
Approx. 50 minutes of diesel car pollution.
15MM CHISEL TIP
Thick lines, smooth strokes, great feel.
Approx. 130 minutes of diesel car pollution.

11. 50MM WIDE TIP
Made extra wide for murals and large-scale pieces.
Approx. 130 minutes of diesel car pollution.
600ML SPRAY CAN
Quick action, fast dry, covers any surface with ease.
Approx. 2000 minutes of diesel car pollution.
250ML REFILL
For when you run dry.
Approx. 830 minutes of diesel car pollution.

12. ADVANTAGES
 Air-Ink products to the best emerging artists in Hong Kong.
They used them to takeover the streets of their city.
 Cartoons at children's rooms or Road side walls
 Designing on clothes
 Graffiti on roadside
 To Control the AIR Pollution over all world

13. CONCLUSION
 It will the best for controlling air pollution in
environment and best for living things to protect the
health.
 When we are using these the whole world be
having without pollution maximum.
 It’s very useful to our life cycle to protect from
diseases.

14. FUTURE SCOPE
 In future the over all air pollution will be
controlled and health problems which
effecting by air pollution will be reduced like
premature death, heart attacks, and strokes,
bronchitis and aggravated asthma among
children.
