Carbon Sequestration and The Solvay Process
Variations in the Solvay process have been proposed for carbon sequestration. One idea is to react carbon dioxide, produced perhaps by the combustion of coal, to form solid carbonates (such as sodium bicarbonate) that could be permanently stored, thus avoiding carbon dioxide emission into the atmosphere. Variations in the Solvay process have been proposed to convert carbon dioxide emissions into sodium carbonates, but carbon sequestration by calcium or magnesium carbonates appears more promising.

Famous quotes containing the word process:
“The toddlers wish to please ... is a powerful aid in helping the child to develop a social awareness and, eventually, a moral conscience. The childs love for the parent is so strong that it causes him to change his behavior: to refrain from hitting and biting, to share toys with a peer, to become toilet trained. This wish for approval is the parents most reliable ally in the process of socializing the child.”
—Alicia F. Lieberman (20th century)
