Uses for Carbon

Soil Carbon Sequestration Capacity in Different Land Uses (Case Study: Award Watershed in Mazandaran Province)

The plant cell uses carbon nanotubes to build tracheary elements.

Since their discovery, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been eminent members of the nanomaterial family. Because of their unique physical, chemical and mechanical properties, they are regarded as new potential materials to bring enormous benefits in cell biology studies. Undoubtedly, the first step to prove the advantages of CNTs is to understand the basic behavior of CNTs inside the cells. In a nu...

7 Mineral carbonation and industrial uses of carbon dioxide

1 Carbon Dioxide Reduction and Uses as a Chemical Feedstock

The utilization of carbon dioxide (CO2) as a source of carbon in synthetic chemistry has been a practice exploited at the industrial level since the second half of the 19th century for the synthesis of urea [1a] and salicylic acid [1b, c]. CO2 has also long been used for making inorganic carbonates and pigments. A renewed interest in the industrial utilization of CO2 as a source of carbon arose...

A Modern Model for Sustainable Architecture with uses Nanotechnology

The 21st century Nanotechnology has the potential to make a huge impact on sustainability; but to achieve this potential, Nanotechnology is all about getting more function on less space. In other hand, Nanotechnology is one of the most extremely important components in sustainable development. It has the potential to reduce the environmental impact and energy intensity of structures, as well as...
