摘要

It is generally accepted that greenhouse gas emissions (primarily carbon dioxide and methane) are the cause of the rapid (by geologic standards) heating of the earth experienced in the last decade. Left unchecked, atmospheric carbon dioxide levels are expected to more than triple over the next 100 years, with potentially catastrophic environmental consequences. Most of the U.S. emissions (80%) are due to carbon dioxide from fossil %el combustion when emissions are normalized for greenhouse effect as millions of metric tons of carbon equivalent (MMTCE). Nearly 20% of total annual U.S. greenhouse gas emissions (400 MMTCE) are due to carbon dioxide produced by mobile sources (cars, light and heavy trucks, other surface transportation vehicles and equipment) excluding aircraft. A passenger car may produce as much as 1 to 2 lbs per mile driven, on average over 200 lbs per tankful of gas. Light trucks, including the popular sport-utility vehicles, produce on average 50% more carbon dioxide than passenger cars. Efforts to reduce these emissions have focussed on either improving fuel economy by developing more fuel efficient electric motor hybrid diesel or gasoline powered vehicles or fuel cell powered vehicles, encouraging development and use of mass transit systems, and car pooling. However, none of these countermeasures can be expected to result in sigruficant carbon dioxide emission reductions for decades and will at best, reduce mobile source emissions by 50% once hlly implemented. In fact, it is likely that the increase in the number of vehicles in the U.S. (now more than 200 million) over the next 25 years will offset any benefits achieved from these programs. The international picture is even more troubling, as developing nations such as China and India continue to industrialize and increase their total fleet of vehicles. While efforts have begun to explore control technologies for carbon dioxide emissions from large stationary sources such as electric power plants and oil production facilities, involving removal and long term storage in the ocean and geologic formations, little research is currently being carried out to develop control technologies for mobile sources, which could potentially reduce emissions from these sources by nearly 100%. The limited space available in the vehicles and the likely need for frequent replenishment of sorbents used to trap the carbon dioxide are serious limitations as well as the likely costs of such control technologies, This work describes a feasibility study conducted to determine if onboard control systems can be developed for mobile sources. Both wet and dry scrubber technologies involving molecular sieves, sodium and potassium carbonate, and alkanolamines are evaluated.
