I am doing a science experiment to see if I can build a device that can be used
to capture CO2 from the air using calcium hydroxide.

I can't seem to find any reference that tells me if I will get faster absorption
from a solution or the dry powder.

I know the strongest soution I can make is only 10%.

Can anyone help me answer this question.
Thank you,
Karina
