The Earth had been in a healthy equilibrium for billions of years where carbon dioxide is released due to cellular respiration. Beginning with the Industrial Revolution, humans have been offsetting this equilibrium as the burning of fossil fuels results in massive releases of carbon dioxide, at levels higher than the earth can absorb. The water at the surface of the oceans are becoming saturated with carbon dioxide and global temperatures are rising, both being massive detriments to the global ecosystem. Scientists are attempting to synthesize devices to sequester carbon dioxide. Recent developments include massive carbon capture devices located at power plants that capture carbon dioxide as it is being formed. When this carbon dioxide is captured, it is simply stored underground in a process called geologic carbon dioxide storage. Though this is a temporary solution, the carbon dioxide will simply be sedentary and not be recycled. To recycle carbon dioxide it must be introduced back into the ecosystem so that it can be used by other organisms once again. The next step in carbon capture is finding a way to recycle carbon dioxide once it has been captured. This study addressed this by making a biodegradable mesocellular foam that could reintroduce carbon as carbonic acid. Mesocellular foams are extremely porous materials. Their utility comes from their low density and extremely high surface area. All of these procedures use polystyrene as the base plastic, a non-biodegradable hydrocarbon. I used a biodegradable cellulose plastic as a replacement for polystyrene in my procedure. The mesocellular foam has no inherent carbon dioxide sequestration abilities; to remedy this, functionalized amines are used. Amines with a lysine amino can react with carbon dioxide, forming carbamate ions, making them optimal for carbon dioxide sequestration. These amines coat the surface of the mesocellular foam, giving it the ability to sequester carbon dioxide. In order to make cellulose plastic, microcrystalline cellulose was first soaked in 2.5 M NaOH, it was then mixed with citric acid and baked in order to make the cellulose plastic. The cellulose plastic was then ground and mixed with 1.6 M HCl, and dissolved. Then 3 g of 1,3,5 trimethylbenzene and 35 mg NH4F was added to the mixture. After 16 hours of stirring, 6 g of tetraethyl orthosilicate was added and stirred for 20 hours. The mixture was then baked for 24 hours at 100 degrees celsius, making the mesocellular foam. To test the carbon dioxide sequestration, the amine coated mesocellular foam was placed in a small vial. This vial was then sealed by a carbon dioxide sensor. Over the course of ten minutes, the sensor took a reading every second of the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere within the vial in parts per million. The average decrease in carbon dioxide concentration over the ten minutes was 74.3 parts per million. The biodegradability was conducted over a week. I used tap water to biodegrade the foam as it would be more similar to the rain water that would biodegrade the foam in application. Over the course of a week, the foam lost over 10% mass suggesting that it would be biodegradable in rain water. These tests prove the cellulose mesocellular foam to be a proof of concept, an idea to be built upon in the hopes of one day making a eco-friendly carbon sequestration device that is capable of recycling the carbon dioxide it captures.
