Co2 Gas (30 Kg)
Carbon dioxide (CO₂) is a chemical compound with the formula CO₂. Each molecule consists of one carbon atom covalently double bonded to two oxygen atoms. It is a colorless gas with a faint sharp odor and a sour taste. Here are some key points about CO₂:
Greenhouse Gas: CO₂ is an important greenhouse gas, contributing to global warming. Although it makes up only about 3 volumes in 10,000 of Earth’s atmosphere, its presence traps radiant energy, causing the greenhouse effect.
Natural Sources: CO₂ is formed during combustion of carbon-containing materials, fermentation, and animal respiration. Plants use it in photosynthesis to create carbohydrates.
Industrial Applications: Industrially, CO₂ is recovered from flue gases, hydrogen synthesis, limekilns, and other sources. It can be liquefied and used for various applications1.
