Background study

CaCO3
The formula for calcium carbonate.

What is Calcium Carbonate:

It is connoted as the most useful and versatile material known to man. Compromising 4% of the
earths crust, it is abundant in different forms eg. Chalk, limestone, marble
Calcium carbonate is a mildly alkaline product and is used in a variety of environmental
applications. It is the most common reagent used in flue-gas desulfurization applications,
removing harmful SO2 emissions from coal and other fossil fuel exhausts. It is also used to de-
acidify lakes and neutralize acidic water runoff from mines (Huber Engineered Materials, 2010).

Statement of the problem:

Are there ways to reduce waste on the environment?

Can there be a product used as an alternative to activated carbon for air filtration system?

Is there a product innovation that lessen cost?

Theoretical Background

The study is conducted to answer the problem of air pollution through small scale solution using applied
engineering fields and subjects such as Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning.

General objective

This study aims to lessen the disposal of waste in order to reduce.

The design and study aims to integrate the process of ventilation and the concept of environmental
science. In broader view, it compromises the vision of an engineer to help the society and industry
without staking the environment.
Calcium carbonate is the closest alternative to the activated carbon filter, which can be cheaper than the
conventional filter being used today.

hypothesis:

The study is foreseen to formulate a product that will help the condition of air filtration system in the
Philippines while helping the environment to reduce waste.
