Extended scrubber time

joshhan2000 · 10th April 2006, 01:47

I have a way to make the scrubber time increases by 40%. But the down side is that the cost would be about 5 to 7 dollars a pound US. Would like some feed back on what you think of this idea.

Still cheaper than lost helium on OC. Whatcha' got?

What exactly do you mean "by pound"? Slime?
Sounds interesting.

Cheers,

I would mix the Ca(OH)2 with some other catalytic agents to increases the time. I would have to do some study’s on it first to see if it can be used for rebrether but I do know it works in the lab. I have increase the kinetic rate from 59% to 85%

would those other catalytic agents be OK if you put them on your corn flakes? do they emit any VOC's? are the CO2 adsorb/absorbtion reactions the only reactions that are catalyzed? have you looked at (and compared) the by products of your accelerated reactions in a spectrum analyzer or gas chromatograph?

I am all about it, if you give me some more info I can be a guinea pig!

Of course there would have to be tests and I would have to look at the MS to make sure of everything but I can do that no problem. The why I was using them was just for collecting CO2 in a reaction, not for breathing gases. So I know that there is not secondary reaction with O2, N2 or He but still would have to do some test.
