breakthroughs are increasingly aimed at the preservation of the environment and the elimination of so-called greenhouse gases inverdadero. It follows the case of development, in which a team of U.S. scientists has developed a new material capable of capturing the main gas that causes climate change, carbon dioxide (CO2).
is an organic metal in the form of micro-sponges, capturing the gas at a temperature and pressure high. The idea is to use it in the future to capture the carbon dioxide emitted by coal plants or vehicles, and avoid the emission of gaseous pollutants into the atmosphere. Of the several prototypes
sponge created by scientists, the most efficient of them is capable of absorbing an amount of CO2 83 times its own volume.
To achieve these pores atrapagases "ZIFs baptized, have joined various kinds of metal such as cobalt or zinc with organic molecules. The main advantage is that once these sponges saturated metal can be "downloaded" and are ready to use them again.
The developers claim that these new materials can help in many areas of industry and everyday amitigar the EFET this and other gases. This, of course, if finally be viable marketing.
