To dissociate carbon from CO2, laser routes are being investigated. Hopefully there is enough data Project Open NanoCarbon is actively seeking scientists with expertise in physics: photonics & lasers, magnetic fields & plasma, nano-materials, and chemical physics, as well as chemists and later on engineers. Please join the chat and add yourself to this wiki.
We're working on experiments for BASF17. The current active phases of ONC are working scientific field reviews of CO2 dissociation and recombination prevention and metastudy of relevant dissociation energy states. CO2 separation from ambient atmospheric gas will be investigated from an engineering standpoint later in the project life cycle.
Hopefully we will be able to engineer a high speed plasma route. The current laser routes are, vacuum ultra violet light and ultra violet light at high pressures. From the studies, CO2 dissociates with working parameters of high pressure and temperature and laser wavelength which are unfortunately still outside commodity hardware. Project Open NanoCarbon will be conducting experiments on rotating laser light in order to raise the wavelength to a non ultra high pressure environment.A metastudy will also be conducted to determine the range of working parameters of the energy needed to dissociate: pressure, temperature, wavelength, molecular resonance state.
