DETERMINE THE QUANTITY OF CO2 DURING THE PRODUCTION OF BEER, AND POSSIBILITY TO RE-USE IT

Carbon dioxide, CO2, causes the greenhouse effect in the earth's atmosphere, and is a product of combustion of organic compounds, for example the methane gas. Carbon dioxide itself does not support burning, and being denser than air it is widely used in fire extinguishers. CO2 reacts with water producing a weak acid according to the equation: CO2 + H2O = H2CO 3. Alcoholic fermentation is the process of sugar converting into alcohol and carbon dioxide. The actual process, as any beer brewers can attest, occurs over time and involves many chemical reactions. However, the ultimate result is the breakdown of sugar (C2H12O6), into alcohol (2C2H5OH) and carbon dioxide (CO2). If you know the initial quantity of sugar, you can calculate the volume of carbon dioxide that its complete breakdown will produce. Carbonic gas formed during fermentation of beer. Carbon dioxide can be compressed and as such be used in production again, which at the same time we also protect the environment and cost savings in the process of beer production. Given that carbon dioxide gas is heavier than air, he sits at the bottom of workspaces, Which presents a danger to life.
