Item Name Code (INC) 21041
Additional Information for Carbon Dioxide Absorbent
Carbon dioxide absorbents are substances or materials that have the ability to remove or absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) from the surrounding environment. These absorbents are commonly used in various applications, including:
1. Medical field: Carbon dioxide absorbents are used in anesthesia machines to remove exhaled CO2 from the breathing circuit during surgeries. They help maintain a safe and controlled level of CO2 in the patient's respiratory system.
2. Scuba diving: Absorbents are used in rebreathers, which are devices that recycle exhaled breath by removing CO2 and replenishing oxygen. This allows divers to stay underwater for longer periods without the need for frequent gas refills.
3. Food and beverage industry: Carbon dioxide absorbents are used in packaging materials to extend the shelf life of perishable products. They help absorb excess CO2 released by the food, preventing spoilage and maintaining freshness.
4. Environmental applications: Some absorbents are used to capture and store CO2 emissions from industrial processes, such as power plants. This helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate climate change.
Commonly used carbon dioxide absorbents include soda lime, zeolites, activated carbon, and potassium hydroxide. These absorbents work by chemically reacting with CO2, either through absorption or adsorption processes, to remove it from the air or gas stream.
It's important to note that carbon dioxide absorbents have specific limitations and requirements for their safe and effective use. It is recommended to follow manufacturer guidelines and consult with experts when using these absorbents in different applications.
