It is also desirable that the compound used for capturing carbon dioxide can be recovered as the original compound and continues to be used to capture carbon dioxide. In this way, the cost of storing the product yield by capturing carbon dioxide can be reduced, and other economically valuable compounds can be synthesized, the compound used to capture carbon dioxide can be reused, and the demand for environmental protection can be met.
