CO₂ + H₂O → H₂CO₃① CO₂ dissolves in the pellet's surface water film

H₂CO₃ + 2NaOH → Na₂CO₃ + 2H₂O + heat② fast neutralisation by NaOH (catalyst)

Na₂CO₃ + Ca(OH)₂ → CaCO₃ + 2NaOH③ slow step: lime locks CO₂ as chalk, regenerating NaOH

Axial flow: exhaled gas runs down the gap between the canister and the housing, turns under the canister and rises up through the bed to the cells in the lid, so the violet front climbs from the bottom. Manual (QinetiQ, 4 °C, 40 L/min, 1.6 L/min CO₂): 3 h; deeper than 20 m 140 min; deeper than 50 m 100 min. Never expect more in warm water.
