Carbon dioxide gas: three things you must know

Carbon dioxide (CO2) can be said to be a familiar gas in the world. It's no wonder if you see the world's attention on global warming and know that human survival depends on this natural gas in our atmosphere. But carbon dioxide is also a common type of calibration gas. In this month's blog, our professionals will take you through a quick overview of 3 important imports of CO2 calibration gases.

1: What is carbon dioxide calibration gas

Carbon dioxide, with the chemical formula CO2, is an odorless and colorless gas that is about 60% denser than dry air. CO2 is the general formula for the inorganic linkage between oxygen and carbon. Although carbon dioxide exists primarily as a gas, it also has liquid and solid forms. If the temperature is below -78 degrees Celsius, it can only be a liquid. Liquid carbon dioxide occurs primarily when carbon dioxide dissolves in water. Carbon dioxide is the source of all life on Earth.

2: How is carbon dioxide produced?

Anthropogenic CO2 emissions occur in nature from various natural processes such as:

Savanna and forest fires

emissions from volcanoes

Digestion in the rainforest

ocean carbon dioxide exchange

Carbon dioxide is also produced by aerobic organisms in nature. Every living thing produces carbon dioxide when it breathes.

Among other things, it is also produced during the burning of carbon and carbonaceous substances such as fossil fuels. Fossil fuels mainly col, oil and gas

3: How to store CO2 calibration gas

Sudden exposure of people to carbon dioxide calibration gas can be dangerous. Carbon dioxide is not as friendly as most people think. This is why the gas needs to be stored properly. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is capturing and storing CO2 calibration gas without burning fossil fuels. CCS is a method of using almost all fossil fuels in natural climates. If carbon dioxide capture occurs, the carbon dioxide produced in fabrics or power plants will be captured. The carbon dioxide then travels to storage, usually by ship or pipeline. Storage locations are laid over 1,000 meters on land or under the seabed. Government inspects catch, transport and storage.
