In this novel approach, "a thermodynamic model was constructed using psychometric theories to model the #desublimation of CO2 in a #DAC system. The system was modeled
to include a precooling heat exchanger & a deposition chamber where the desublimation
of CO2 occurs."

3️⃣ base systems studied:
πŸ”Έ NC (no precompression/turbine recovery)
πŸ”ΈPC (precompression only)
πŸ”ΈTR (precompression & turbine recovery)
at 3️⃣ different compression ratios, n=400, 800 & 2000.
Then, a combination #DAC system, PSA, was modeled."

"A dual-column, 4️⃣-step Skarstrom Cycle PSA (pressure swing adsorption & cryogenic distillation) unit was analyzed using Extended Langmuir Models & the
ideal gas law to simulate a CO2 conc. prior to the deposition chamber. The NC & PSA systems were assessed at Tamb= -50β—¦C."
4/10 Image
This study finds that "while increasing the compression ratio of the system, there is no net energy benefit when capturing CO2 given the current state-of-the-art in commercial compressor & #cryocooler capabilities."
5/10 Image
"The assessment of the efficiency of a precooler versus TR finds that it is more advantageous to utilize a heat exchanger precooler than precompression with turbine recovery in a #DAC system. Combining DAC systems may yield a more efficient system."
6/10 Image
"PSA combined with cryogenic capture is less energy intensive than cryogenic capture alone. In a combined #DAC system with PSA and cryogenic distillation,
the PSA unit has a significantly lower energy consumption than the #cryocooler."
7/10 ImageImage
"Increasing the concentration of CO2 entering the deposition chamber significantly decreases the required energy consumption of the #cryocooler."

πŸš¨πŸŒ‹ A new UCLA-led study reveals surprising findings about the 2022 Hunga Tongaβ€”Hunga HaΚ»apai underwater volcanic eruption. Despite fears it would push global temps past 1.5Β°C, it actually cooled the Southern Hemisphere by 0.1Β°C!

Here's why:🧡1/8
#SolarGeoengineering #Aerosols Image
2/ When Hunga Tonga erupted in January 2022, scientists expected the massive release of water vapor to trigger warming, but a key factor shifted: The eruption produced smaller sulfate aerosols that unexpectedly cooled the atmosphere!
3/ Traditionally, sulfate aerosols cool the Earth by reflecting sunlight, while water vapor warms it. The eruption's aerosols were 50% smaller than those from previous eruptions (like Pinatubo, 1991), which made them more efficient at cooling! Image

🚨How do political affiliations shape attitudes toward #SolarGeoengineering?🚨

A conjoint experiment with 2,123 US voters finds that partisanship outweighs message framingβ€”meaning who delivers the message matters more than what the message says.

2/ The discourse on SG as a climate solution is evolving, but public perceptionsβ€”especially in the polarized US landscapeβ€”remain underexplored. This study () examines how different narratives & partisan sources influence attitudes.nature.com/articles/s4416…
3/Researchers tested 3 SG narratives:

-Complementary: SG as an add-on to emissions cuts

-Substitutive: SG as a standalone climate solution

-Moral hazard: SG as a risky distraction
