Chemical Formula: C, CO2, H2CO3
Present as: anion
Carbon (from Latin: carbo “coal”) is a chemical element with symbol C and atomic number 6. It is nonmetallic one of the most versatile of elements due to its propensity to form tetravalent covalent bonds. Three isotopes occur naturally, 12C and 13C being stable while 14C is radioactive, decaying with a half-life of about 5,730 years. Carbon is one of the few elements known since antiquity.
Carbon is the 15th most abundant element in the Earth’s crust, and the fourth most abundant element in the universe by mass after hydrogen, helium, and oxygen. Carbon’s abundance, its unique diversity of organic compounds, and its unusual ability to form polymers at the temperatures commonly encountered on Earth enables this element to serve as a common element of all known life. It is the second most abundant element in the human body by mass (about 18.5%) after oxygen.
Pure carbon exists in a variety of forms, from diamond to graphite.
Carbon dioxide gas can be captured by strong base anions in the hydroxide form. Spent resin is regenerated thermally, driving CO2 back off the resin.
Hydroxide for anion resins exchange for carbon dioxide by a neutralization reaction to carbonate, followed by exchange of carbonate.
