“…The 20.0% (percentage v/v) of the emission is contributed by CO 2 which conforms to the literature reports of 15-30% and is above average (Davison and Thambimuthu, 2005). From the mass balance performed on 1 kg clinker basis ( Figure 5), it is clear that for every 1 kg of clinker formed almost 0.6 kg of CO 2 is released to the atmosphere from this study plant.…”

The cement industries alone emit 5% of the world's total green house gases. In Ethiopia, the current CO 2 emission from this sector is about five fold of the countries overall CO 2 emission in 2002. Mugher cement factory (MCF), a case study plant in this paper, alone emits 463,844 tons of CO 2 /year on average based on emission test and mass balance performed. Yet it accounts for less than 3% of the current CO 2 emission from this particular industry in the country. Of those technical approaches, separation of CO 2 before it joins the immediate atmosphere is getting wide spread interest. In relation to this, experiment on absorption of CO 2 is conducted to determine the effect of flow rate of the gas sample, concentration of the sodium hydroxide, flow rate of solvent and temperature of absorbent on absorption of CO 2 using the "Armfield" gas absorption column followed by the titrimetric analysis. Except temperature of solvent, all study variables showed strong relation with the amount of carbon dioxide absorbed (with a P-value < 0.05). Uniquely, this study has evaluated the potential for sodium bicarbonate production from the CO 2 absorbed using gravimetric analysis. It is also possible to recover over 28% crystal sodium bicarbonate.

“…Because CO 2 is so dilute, any such action would result in an excessive energy penalty. The hydroxide solution avoids all such complications (Davison and Thambimuthu, 2005).…”

“…Over 85% of the world energy demand is supplied by fossil fuels (Davison and Thambimuthu, 2005). Most of the fossil-fuelled electricity production in the world is from coal (63%) followed by natural gas (29%) and oil (9%) (IEA, 2008a).…”

“…Furthermore, CO 2 in natural gas must be removed because its presence reduces the energy content of the fuel [2]. To date, several methods have been proposed for the separation CO 2 from gas mixtures [3]. One promising method to lower the cost of CO 2 separation is development of CO 2 separation membranes [4].…”
