The invention discloses a simple CO2
trapping device and a measuring method for detecting <13>C and <14>C in CO2. The device for
trapping CO2 in air comprises a NaOH solution storage
bottle (2), a collecting bag (9) and a solution delivery tube (4) connecting the NaOH solution storage
bottle (2) and the collecting bag (9), wherein the air enters the NaOH solution storage
bottle (2) through a
guide tube (1), a regulating valve (6) is used for controlling the flow velocity of a NaOH solution in the storage bottle (2), a filter screen (5) is used for filtering insoluble impurities, a dropper (7) is used for monitoring the flow velocity of the NaOH solution flowing through the
guide tube (1), and an exhaust hole (8) is used for preventing gas from entering the collecting bag (9). The NaOH solution is adopted for selective absorption of CO2 in the air, so that a
trapping function is performed on CO2 in the air; by means of design of the NaOH solution storage bottle with the constant volume, the volume of the collected air can be controlled quantitatively, the NaOH solution repeatedly circulates for many times to absorb CO2, and the concentration of trapped CO2 can be increased greatly and reaches the limit of detection. The designed CO2 trapping device is simple, easy to use, fast, convenient and low in cost.
