Abstract
The study entitiled “Sodium Hydroxide as a component of a device to reduce Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Carbon Monoxide (CO) emission by Motorcycles” aimed to reduced and to prevent the widespread of Carbon dioxide (CO2) and Carbon Monoxide (CO)which causes pollution in the atmosphere. The device is made up of Sodium Hydroxide, a chemical that is usually used in the manufacturing of soap and paper. It has a low-prize available in laboratory stores. Sodium Hydroxide was used to react with Carbon Dioxide and Carbon Monoxide forming Sodium Carbonate and H2O which is a good source to manufacture glass and household cleaning products.
The emission testing Center was used to determine the ability of the said device to reduce the amount of Carbon Dioxide emitted by Motorcycles. In the conduct of the experiment , nine motorcycles were used −three that uses Protec, three that uses Unleaded and three that uses Regular. Wherein the initial amount of Carbon dioxide which is 4.43 ppm was emitted by the fuel Protec, 3.97 ppm of CO2 was reduced. In the fuel Unleaded, it has an initial amount of 12.67 ppm carbon dioxide emitted; 12.27 ppm of carbon dioxide is reduced. As of the Regular fuel, 1.91 ppm is the initial amount of carbon dioxide emitted and an amount of 1.2 ppm of carbon dioxide is reduced.
Sodium Hydroxide as a component of a device has also the ability to reduce the amount of Carbon dioxide emitted by motorcycles. Wherein the initial amount of Carbon dioxide which is 2.50 ppm was emitted by the fuel Protec, 2.12 ppm of CO2 was reduced. In the fuel Unleaded, it has an initial amount of 4.17 ppm carbon dioxide emitted; 3.82 ppm of carbon dioxide is reduced. As of the Regular fuel, 3.58 ppm is the initial amount of carbon dioxide emitted and an amount of 2.88 ppm of carbon dioxide is reduced.
The Comparison of the amount of Carbon Dioxide and Carbon
