Process and apparatus to remove carbon-14 from carbon-dioxide in atmospheric gases and agricultural products grown in controlled environments

A method of growing agricultural products with a reduced abundance of carbon-14 comprising:

• a. providing a mixture of atmospheric gases with a measurable abundance of carbon dioxide and a measurable abundance of carbon dioxide with carbon-14;
• b. removing, in a vortex chamber, carbon-dioxide with carbon-14 from said mixture of atmospheric gases;
• c. a forcing, via a blower, said mixture of atmospheric gases through said vortex chamber to produce filtered atmospheric gases consisting of low density molecular gases;
• d. venting, via an input control valve, airflow of said filtered atmospheric gases from said vortex chamber into a controlled environment having an airtight seal;
• and
• e. outputting, via an output control valve, gasses from said controlled environment;
• further comprising verifying carbon-dioxide removal in said vortex chamber prior to venting, via the input control valve, airflow of said filtered atmospheric gases from said vortex chamber into said controlled environment;
• wherein verifying carbon-dioxide removal in said vortex chamber prior to venting, via the input control valve, airflow of said filtered atmospheric gases from said vortex chamber into said controlled environment includes:
• a. detecting, via a first carbon-dioxide sensor, carbon-dioxide abundance outside said controlled environment;
• b. detecting, via a second carbon-dioxide sensor, carbon-dioxide abundance in a relief output of said vortex chamber;
• d. comparing, via a control system, the detected carbon-dioxide abundance outside said controlled environment and the detected carbon-dioxide abundance in the relief output;
• and e. opening, via the control system, the input control valve when the detected carbon-dioxide abundance outside said controlled environment and the detected carbon-dioxide abundance in the relief output is at or above a predetermined delta.
