# Floating Squid Acid Absorbers The PH Conditioner Skyscraper Leaches Chemicals From the Atmosphere By Amelia Roblin | Published 2013-03-22 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ph-conditioner-skyscraper References: [tuvie](http://www.tuvie.com/ph-conditioner-skyscraper-concept-to-improve-air-quality-and-neutralize-acid-pollutants/) & [evolo.us](http://www.evolo.us/) Quite a bit of damage has already been done to our planet thanks to the environmentally damaging practices of humans. The PH Conditioner Skyscraper was conceived as a potential remedy to the major problem of acidic substances' collection amidst the clouds. For the Evolo Skyscraper Design Competition, Hao Tian, Shi Jianwei and Huang Haiyang have proposed a these futuristic jellyfish-like structures. They would comprise transparent aerocyst sacs filled with hydrogen, levitating up to 1000 feet above the ground. The porous membrane that envelopes the balloons would absorb harmful chemicals and neutralize them inside. [Functioning as a purifier](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-purifier-concept), the PH Conditioner Skyscraper could break down all materials into a [reclaimed water source](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/water-from-air) and ammonium salt fertilizer that could be sent down to the earth by tentacle pipelines. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 54% | Activity: 20% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Sustainable Architecture:** The PH Conditioner Skyscraper demonstrates the trend of using innovative architectural designs to address environmental challenges, such as air pollution. - **Chemical Absorption Technology:** The use of porous membranes to absorb and neutralize harmful chemicals in the atmosphere, as seen in the PH Conditioner Skyscraper, shows a trend towards advanced chemical absorption technology. - **Circular Economy:** The PH Conditioner Skyscraper exemplifies the trend of capturing and repurposing waste materials to create valuable resources, such as reclaimed water and ammonium salt fertilizer. ### Where This Applies - **Architecture and Construction:** There is an opportunity for architects and construction companies to incorporate sustainable designs, like the PH Conditioner Skyscraper, into their projects to address environmental concerns. - **Environmental Technology:** Companies in the environmental technology sector can explore innovative solutions, such as chemical absorption technology showcased by the PH Conditioner Skyscraper, to combat air pollution and improve air quality. - **Agriculture and Fertilizer Production:** The concept of using ammonium salt fertilizer produced from the PH Conditioner Skyscraper's chemical absorption process presents an opportunity for the agriculture and fertilizer production industries to adopt sustainable and resource-efficient practices. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Air Purifying Architectural Towers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/verto-air-purification.md) - [Rain-Collecting Skyscrapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bpas-architects.md) - [Plant-Supporting Air Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/florapur-air-purifier-concept.md) - [Barcon-Negative Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/picoplanktonics.md) - [Air-Purifying Tree Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/treeone.md) - [Algae-Powered Air Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/algenair-aerium.md) - [Bio-Cement Oceanic Structures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reef-rocket.md) - [Floating City Networks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/justinian-khoo.md) - [Greenery-Filled Skyscraper Terrarium](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/terrarium-cheongdam.md)
