Vegetable Oils and Amines: A Novel Approach for Capturing and Utilizing CO2
| Challenge: | Environment | | Category: | Intermediate | | Region: | Northwestern Ontario | | City: | Thunder Bay, ON | | School: | Sir Winston Churchill C.V.I. | | Abstract: | CO2 is a hazardous greenhouse gas and has adverse impacts on the environment. This project provides an economical and eco-friendly way to control CO2 using amines in vegetable oil mediums.
