We examine the chilling story of a CO2 scrubber failure that led to the loss of half a crew in a confined environment.

Komar Kawatra couldn't be prouder of the students on his research team at Michigan Technological University -- because they've developed a CO2 scrubber in-house. Kawatra, who chairs the chemical ...

A group of scientists are devising a 'CO2 scrubber’ which they claim will capture one tonne of CO2 from the air every day, about the same per passenger as a flight from London to New York ...

Carbon dioxide scrubbers have been around since the 1800s, when commercial divers used them to extend their oxygen supply underwater. The technology got another boost when humans launched ...

The new scrubber material would meet the goal of the U.S. Department of Energy, which funded the research, of developing carbon capture technologies with at least a 90 percent CO2 capture efficiency.

The carbon dioxide scrubber not only advances the life support capabilities for the orbiting laboratory's crew, but may possibly benefit future astronauts on the moon and Mars as well.

The technology will work alongside existing scrubber and exhaust gas cleaning systems, and the resulting CO2 will be "refrigerated until liquefaction" before being stored in tanks on-deck.

The carbon dioxide scrubber could advance life support for astronauts on the moon. A new air filtration system with a magnetic-bearing blower has been installed on the International Space Station.

From waste to resource. The Environmental Control and Life Support System on the ISS replaces carbon dioxide scrubbers with the Carbon Dioxide Reduction System, also known as the Sabatier system ...
