Carbon, in complete combustion, combines with the oxygen in the air to make carbon dioxide— CO2 for short. That is one atom of carbon and two atoms of oxygen. The fizz in soda pop is carbonated water ( CO2 dissolved in water). Breathing produces carbon dioxide. Actually, human bodies convert hydrocarbons to water and carbon dioxide. The process is slower and at much lower temperatures than those in a boiler furnace. Since carbon is the major element in fuel, combustion produces lots of carbon dioxide in a boiler. Next in quantity is water. For the most part, firing a boiler is natural and it produces mostly CO2 and H2O which are not harmful to health.

Ultrafine CaCO3 particles were synthesized by titrating calcium hydroxide with carbonated water. For this purpose, carbonated water was prepared by bubbling CO2 gas through 100 mL of distilled water at different flow rates (0.317–1 L/min) at room temperature for various intervals of time (1–20 min). The prepared carbonated water was titrated against aqueous calcium hydroxide (1.9 × 10−2–2.1 × 10−2 mol/L) solution with a flow rate of 5 mL/min under continuous stirring. The resulting precipitate was filtered, washed several times with water and then ethanol and left for drying in air.
