what chemical absorbs carbon dioxide
Thanks. Garcia Oliver. Plants absorb CO 2, of course, but they take up a lot of room and are slow, inefficient CO 2 absorbers. 2 scrubbers use chemicals that don't meet your criteria. Monoethanolamine (MEA) is used to scrub carbon dioxide from gas streams, but it's corrosive and toxic in very small amounts.hanks. Garcia Oliver.
