Chemical Fixation of \(CO_2\) Using NaOH and \(CaCl_2\): An Innovative Approach for \(CO_2\) Capture |Chapter 5 | Recent Developments in Chemistry and Biochemistry Research Vol. 6

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions pose a significant challenge for climate change mitigation. This study addresses the need for effective CO₂ capture methods by introducing an innovative approach utilizing NaOH and CaCl₂ for CO₂ fixation. The objective was to develop a cost-effective and practical solution for capturing CO₂ from industrial and atmospheric sources. The experimental results demonstrated that this method effectively captures and converts CO₂ into CaCO₃, a stable and environmentally benign compound. The process was shown to be efficient in various conditions, including high CO₂ concentrations. The findings suggest that this approach could be integrated into existing systems to enhance CO₂ capture and contribute to climate change mitigation strategies.
