摘要

To reduce the magnitude of anthropogenic global warming it is necessary to remove CO_2(g) from the effluent streams of coal-fired power plants and to sequester the CO_2 either as a liquid or by reaction with other compounds. A major difficulty in achieving this goal arises from the very weak acidity of CO_2(g), causing it to react only incompletely with weak bases, although this weak interaction does provide a means for "stripping" the CO_2 from the acid-base complex at high temperatures. Reaction with strong bases like NaOH yields more stable complexes, but massive amounts of chemical reactants would need to be purchased and chemical products like NaHCO_3then stored. However, when gas-phase CO_2 reacts with the weak base water (or when bicarbonate reacts with strong acid) the unstable product monomeric "H_2CO_3" can be formed. The free energy required is about 16 kcal/mol in the gas phase and about 10 kcal/mol in aqueous solution. This energy can be supplied by particle or photon excitation and is only a small fraction of the energy released when a mole of CH_4 is converted to a mole of CO_2. Although this monomeric compound is highly unstable, its oligomers are considerably more stable, due to internal H-bonding, with free energies for the larger oligomers in the gas phase which are about 4 kcal/(mol of H_2CO_3) lower, onfy about 6 kcal/mol H_2CO_3 higher than the gas-phase combination of CO_2 and H_2O at room temperature. Also, at lower temperature the entropic penalty for the oligomer is less and oligomeric H_2CO_3 becomes stable around the sublimation temperature of dry ice. This indicates that it may be possible to capture gas-phase CO_2 directly, using only cheap and abundant H_2O as a reactant, and to store the resulting (H_2CO_3)_n as a oligomeric solid at only moderately coid temperatures. These conclusions are based on quantum computations that accurately reproduce the structures, spectra, and stabilities of H_2CO_3. oligomers. Methods for producing and characterizing the H_2CO_3 oligomers are discussed. However, some aspects of the proposed scheme are quite speculative and will require additional investigation. Several important questions need to be answered before the feasibility of this procedure on a planetary scale can be assessed, particularly those involving the vapor pressure curve, heat of sublimation, density, and compressibility of (H_2CO_3)_n.
