Analysis of CO2 by Determination of Carbon and Oxygen Using Ion Beam Analysis (IBA)
Juan A. Aspiazu and Arturo Aspiazu
Abstract
In several studies related to atmospheric emission of anthropogenic CO<sub>2</sub>, it has been established that the resulting greenhouse effect is a direct factor in the climate change observed around the world. These climate changes are a consequence of the influence of the greenhouse effect on the atmospheric thermodynamic state. The importance has been recognized of measuring the atmospheric CO<sub>2</sub> contamination with precision. Also, for a proper disposal of this contaminant, there have been developed some efficient physicochemical procedures for either CO<sub>2</sub> dissociation or recycling. Ion accelerators provide a suite of techniques, collectively referred to as IBA, offering excellent options for the analysis of this kind of contamination.
