Carbon dioxide (CO2) gas sensor using surface acoustic wave (SAW) device based on Zinc oxide (ZnO) was developed and fabricated in this paper. The center frequency of SAW device is 203.528 MHz. The input and two output interdigital transducers (IDT) apodized by Morlet wavelet function can improve the side lobe rejection compared with uniform IDT. The ZnO film sensitive to CO2 gas was fabricated in measurement acoustic track of SAW device. Experiments results confirm that the CO2 gas sensor using SAW device based on ZnO film has good response characteristics to different concentrations CO2 gas. Furthermore, the CO2 gas sensor using SAW device based on ZnO film has good stability and linearity.

The article researches the design and the purpose of the lower tier chamber in the Bent Pyramid of Sneferu in Dashure. The review of the earlier archeological research materials has shown that the purpose of the chamber has not been determined. In the process of the current research a technological link between the lower and the upper tiers of the pyramid has been found. It has been proven that the lower tier elements (the chamber itself, the shaft, and the chimney) all together comprised an ancient furnace – a CO/CO2 gas generator. Its purpose was to produce a mixture of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide gas to fill the space of the upper tier of the pyramid. The goal of the architect or was to make the pyramid chambers deadly for burglars.  Constructive  similarities  between  the  furnace  in  the  lower  tier of the Sneferu Pyramid and the modern CO/CO2 gas generator have been established. A theory about the presence of the secret chambers in the pyramid, including the  chamber  containing  the  Sarcophagus  of  the  Pharaoh  has  been  substantiated. A theory  explaining  the  purpose  of  changing  the  shape  and  the  construction of the Bent Pyramid specifically has been proposed.

Abstract A gas cylinder, containing carbon dioxide (CO2) in a manifold of sixteen cylinders, exploded in an outdoor building construction site at midday within two hours of its arrival from a filling station. It was to be used for construction welding. The seamless gas cylinder that exploded was made of low alloy steel with a tempered martensitic microstructure. Observation revealed the presence of discreet localized external corrosion which weakened the gas cylinder extremely. A study concluded that the midday outdoor heat had apparently increased the pressure of the carbon dioxide gas within which in turn led to the sudden catastrophic explosion of the weakened corroded gas cylinder.

A laboratory study was carried out to investigate the ability of neutralization of red mud(RM) using carbon dioxide gas at ambient conditions. It was to evaluate the removal of alkali in the red mud using CO2.The neutralized red mud was characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD) , FP-640 flame photometer and auto titration method. XRD patterns of red mud revealed that the intensity of sodalite was decreased by using CO2. The pH of red mud was decreased from 11 to 8 . The specific advantages of these processes are that, through adding with hydrochloric acid(HCl) and N-Methyldiethanolamine(MDEA), the removal of alkali in the red mud (Na2O) was decreased from 12.5% to 2.3% by adding with HCl.What is more , the removal ratio of sodium oxide in the red mud by adding with HCl can be received at 80%.

Abstract Greenhouse gas emissions are a common problem noticed in every mining area just after mine closures. However, there could be a significant local gas hazard for people with continuous (but variable) emission of these gases into the atmosphere. In the Upper Silesia area, there are 24 shafts left for water pumping purposes and gases can flow through them hydraulically. One of them – Gliwice II shaft – was selected for inspection. Carbon dioxide emission with no methane was detected here. Changes in emission and concentration of carbon dioxide around the shaft was the aim of research carried out. It was stated that a selected shaft can create two kinds of gas problems. The first relates to CO2 emission into the atmosphere. Possible emission of that gas during one minute was estimated at 5,11 kg CO2/min. The second problem refers to the local hazard at the surface. The emission was detected within a radius of 8m from the emission point at the level 1m above the ground. These kinds of matters should be subject to regular gas monitoring and reporting procedures.
