Carbon dioxide absorption scheme
Thread Content
What is the difference between using ammonia and potassium hydroxide to absorb carbon dioxide? Thank you!
First, tell me what they have in common; only by defining the scope can we analyze their differences
The products produced are different: one is ammonium carbonate, and the other is potassium carbonate. According to the needs of the crops, one is used as a nitrogen fertilizer and the other as a potassium fertilizer
With different consumption levels, it seems that using ammonia solution is a cost-effective option.
Your question makes no sense – is Homework Help meant to trick children? The issue first considers the application scenario; the absorption of carbon dioxide by ammonia is used in the production of ammonium carbonate. Why is potassium hydroxide used to absorb carbon dioxide? The synthetic urea industry seems to use sodium carbonate to absorb and release carbon dioxide as a carbon source
