Researchers from Tyumen State University (TyumGU) and Tomsk Polytechnic University (TPU) have developed a method  for the disposal of carbon dioxide (CO2, refers to gases that create the greenhouse effect and destroy the Earth's ozone layer - note from the www1.ru editor) and obtaining nano- and ultra-dispersed powders of metal oxides. 

According to the authors of the project, carbon dioxide was used as a working medium for the synthesis of metal oxides in impulse plasma of arc discharge. At the output, a powder was obtained, with the help of which it is possible to create ceramic products in the facility of spark plasma sintering.

The peculiarity of the methodology is that during the production of the powder, 3 times more CO2 is processed than with other methods. The technology of Tyumen and Tomsk researchers can be applied in various production processes and not harm the environment with carbon dioxide emissions.
