Absorption of carbon dioxide by solid hydroxide sorbent beds in closed-loop atmospheric revitalization systemThe reactions of carbon dioxide with various metals are discussed. The equations which govern the rates of CO2 removal from the atmosphere in spacecraft environmental control systems are discussed. Results from performance testing of various Space Shuttle environmental control systems are presented with the correlation of the equations to the performance given.
