Carbon dioxide source

The simplest chemical compound that attracts adult deer ticks is carbon dioxide, which is in the breath of all mammals. In one experiment designed to study this effect, investigators first dusted 120 ticks with a fluorescent powder to render these tiny creatures more visible and then released them at various distances from a carbon dioxide-baited trap. After six days, the average distance a deer tick had crawled to reach the trap was 1.8 meters (a little less than 6 feet), or 600 body-lengths for a 3-millimeter tick. This is steady progress toward the carbon dioxide source but rather slow locomotion compared with many insects and even other ticks.

Ideally, the C-4 plant species would represent the best prospects for controlled or greenhouse photosynthesis from added carbon dioxide sources. Unfortunately, there is an upper limit to the carbon dioxide concentrations that can be utilized in greenhouse gases. Whereas normal atmospheric air may contain about 340 pi of carbon dioxide per hter (340 parts per million, or ppm), or 0.000340 mole fraction, or say 0.034 volume percent, the upper limit is around KXX) pi of carbon dioxide per liter (or 1000 parts per million, or ppm), or 0.001 mole fraction, or 0.1 volume percent, whereby toxicity occurs (Salisbury and Ross, 1985, p. 224). 

Thus, there can be added to the taste and appearance qualities which the carbohydrate constituents contribute, their use as preservatives in canned foods, in the manufacture of preserves and jellies, and in the curing of meats, their use as carbon dioxide sources in the baking industry, and in a host of other applications, as these papers testify. 

For the Bucherer-Bergs reaction,16 similar reaction partners to the Strecker reaction are involved. The one major point of divergence is the addition of a carbon dioxide source. Thus the final product from this reaction is hydantoin 19, which could be hydrolyzed to give a Strecker-like product, if so desired. Mechanistically, a reaction sequence analogous to the Strecker reaction can be invoked to generate a-aminonitrile 18 from carbonyl compound 8. In the presence of the carbon dioxide source, the a-aminonitrile product 18 is trapped and results in the formation of cyclized product 19. 

As shown in Fig. 2, the essential parts of a typical SFE system include a carbon dioxide source, a pump, an extraction vessel, and an analyte-collection device— normally a vessel. Although an SFE system can be constructed with separate pieces of hardware, most users prefer to buy complete commercial units. A number of vendor companies sell SFE systems and accessories in this increasingly competitive market. A partial listing is provided in Table 1.

Captured carbon dioxide gas can be put to good use, even on a commercial basis, for enhanced oil recovery. This is well demonstrated in West Texas, and today over 5800 km of pipelines connect oilfields to a number of carbon dioxide sources in the United States. 

The most important criterion for the economic efficiency of a CO2 source is the CO2 partial pressure. Gas mixtures which are suitable for the economical recovery of liquefied CO2 with high purity are understood to be carbon dioxide sources preferably with a CO2 partial pressure > 1 bar. Table 6.1 shows examples of CO2 sources listed by decreasing CO2 partial pressure.

Carbon dioxide is a necessary part of nature s photosynthesis process. If a body of water is contacted by a carbon dioxide source, diffusion will occur. However, the photosynthesis reaction of aquatic plants will retard the gas concentration in water. Find a differential equation to describe this system (assume the reaction rate constant to be k).
