Abstract:This experimental project explored the effectiveness of carbon dioxide absorption in brine water. Carbon dioxide was released into four different levels of saline solution and measured for acidity. The jars with the least amount of salinity absorbed the CO2 best. Carbon sequestration in saline aquifers can be a good solution to get rid of our planet’s green house gases.
