ABSTRACT

The focus of this study is to “determine the quantity of CO₂ produced in a local Ethanol plant”. However, due to the broad scope of the study, it is presented in part-1 and part-2. Part-1 is presented in this volume and part-2 will be presented in subsequent volumes. The aim of part-1 is to have an in-depth study of CO₂ and the major techniques in the production of CO₂. This part of the study discussed and presented the physical and chemical properties of CO₂. It described the various technologies in the production of CO₂ and showed diverse techniques in removing, storing and re-using the CO₂ produced. This part also gave an insight to the uses of CO₂ in all spheres of life and its harmful effects in the atmosphere and to the human life.

Keywords: Techniques, Production, Carbon Dioxide, Removal, Storage, Re-used.
