The a.-c. electrolysis of sodium carbonate solutions at voltages as high as 110, even when arcing occurs on the electrodes, does not cause the evolution of carbon dioxide. In the a.-c. electrolysis of aqueous bicarbonate solutions with platinum electrodes, hydrogen, oxygen and carbon dioxide are evolved freely until all the bicarbonate has been transformed to carbonate, after which the evolution of carbon dioxide ceases and only hydrogen and oxygen are given off. In a.-c. electrolysis of sodium bicarbonate solutions and solutions of the sodium salts of aliphatic acids, a deposit of finely divided platinum is formed on the electrodes. This deposit inhibits the evolution of carbon dioxide, hydrogen and oxygen, but does not affect the current flow. The decomposition potential of bicarbonate solutions in respect to the evolution of carbon dioxide on smooth platinum and with d.c. was found to be 2.2 volts, and of carbonate solutions, 3.5 volts. The anodic discharge potential of HCO3− is − 1.45 to − 1.50 volts, and of CO3−−, − 1.90 to − 1.95 volts. The evolution of carbon dioxide does not appear to cause any polarizing effect on the anode.

This paper reports a study into the influence of temperature and gas consumption on the carbonization kinetics (saturation with carbon dioxide) of sodium carbonate-bicarbonate solution. The study also examined the quality and speed of crystal formation in this process. This research is predetermined by the environmental problems faced by modern enterprises that produce purified sodium bicarbonate – an insufficient degree of carbonization and, as a result, excessive air pollution with carbon dioxide, which did not participate in the reaction during the process. This study addresses these particular issues. As a result of using specialized laboratory equipment, it was found that an increase in the absorbent temperature from 79 to 85 °C leads to a decrease in the maximum degree of carbonization of the solution from 64 to 59 %. In contrast, the quality of the resulting sodium bicarbonate crystals improves but only in the range from 79 to 82 °C. With a further increase in temperature, the quality stabilizes. It is shown that the carbonization rate increases with increasing specific consumption of the absorbent (carbon dioxide) and is characterized by a negative correlation with the value of oversaturation of the absorbent in terms of NaНCO3. The quality of sodium bicarbonate crystals decreases with increasing gas velocity. Thus, it was reasonable to assume that the established dependence of the kinetics of carbonization of Na2CO3 and NaНCO3 solution on the gas velocity in the apparatus is explained by the inhibition of СО2 absorption, which is caused by the diffusion resistance of sodium bicarbonate crystallization. To improve the quality of crystals and the productivity of carbonization by reducing the supersaturation in terms of NaНCO3, it is recommended to introduce a seed crystal in the zone of binding of crystals in the carbonization columns.

The calcination of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is a major contributor to carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions that are changing our climate. Moreover, the calcination process requires high temperatures (~900°C). A novel...

A study has been made of the decomposition of glucose in two cultivated podsol soils that had previously been treated with alkaline amendments. Limestone increased, and sodium carbonate decreased, the amount of carbon dioxide produced from the control samples; limestone increased the rate of evolution both in control samples and in samples receiving glucose. The total amount of carbon dioxide produced was increased by limestone in combination with sodium carbonate but not by limestone alone. The numbers of heterotrophic bacteria developing with glucose were stimulated by limestone.

A CO2 electrode was adapted for use in a continuous-flow rapid-reaction apparatus to measure the kinetics of the hydration-dehydration reactions of CO2. The dehydration constant of the reaction was found to be 80 sec–1 at 37 C. Red blood cell suspensions were mixed with bicarbonate solutions to alter suddenly the Pco2 around the cells from 42 to 57, and from 3 to 37 mm Hg. The velocity constants for the hydration of CO2 inside the cell were 236 and 772 sec–1, respectively, as compared with the uncatalyzed rate of 0.11 sec–1. These uninhibited rates are 0.16 and 0.54 the potential catalyzed rate in the cell, suggesting that some other process is rate limiting. In the presence of 0.25 g/liter acetazolamide, the velocity constants decreased to 28 and 65 sec–1, respectively.
