ABSTRACT: Environmental pollution is
the result of human activities, which causes carbon accumulation on the earth.
The accumulated carbon resides not only in CO2, but also in urban
garbage, aquatic weeds, agricultural refuses and other wastes. The forced
carbon circulation (FCC) strategy aims to bringing the accumulated carbon back
to the ecological cycle through carbonization and carbon reduction. The former
changes all refuses to gaseous fuel (ca. 10 wt%) and inorganic carbon; the
latter changes all acid/acidic gases (SO2, NOx, CO2)
to inoffensive/useful substances with the inorganic carbon. Application of FCC
strategy will effectively alleviate environmental pollution in a simple way.
However, the essence of environment pollution is the heavy population that
cannot be sustained by the earth. Therefore, no technical measure, but politics
can solve the problem thoroughly.
