Sodium Hydroxide Trap

A sodium hydroxide trap is a chemical absorption system that removes acidic gases, especially carbon dioxide, from an air or gas stream. As the gas contacts aqueous or solid sodium hydroxide, carbon dioxide reacts to form sodium carbonate and water, reducing its concentration in the treated stream. In environmental experiments, this trap can isolate carbon dioxide production or prevent carbon dioxide from interfering with gas measurements, such as respirometry and closed-system monitoring. Its effectiveness depends on sufficient contact with the absorbent, appropriate quantity, and timely replacement as the sodium hydroxide becomes depleted.

Social Traps

Social traps are negative situations where people get caught in a direction or relationship that later proves to be unpleasant, with no easy way to back out of or avoid. The concept was orignally introduced by John Platt who applied psychology to Garrett Hardin's "Tragedy of the Commons", where in New England herd owners could let their cattle graze in the common ground. This situation seems like a good idea, but an individual could have an advantage. If they owned more cows, the larger...
