Hey, so i brew my own wine. Right now im brewing 40l of it. Anyone who knows brewing also knows that a terrific ammount of co2 is created by the process. I happen to be a very industrious and practical person, so all of the pure co2 in high concentrations just blowing away in the proverbial breeze seems like a great waste to me.
Anyone know of any practical/cool/interesting uses for co2? Im willing to react it with other chemicals to get something usefull, as long as its not a difficult/expecive reaction. For instance i know i could bubble it through some water and get carbonic acid, but i ant find any practical uses for the acid except perhaps to react it with a base to get some salts. I know i can also decompose co2 into carbon and oxygen but i dont know how (electrolysis?).
Anyone have any suggestions?
