decarbonate

Strip carbon dioxide

Decarbonate means to remove carbon dioxide or carbonates from something.

In chemistry, this typically involves heating a carbite compound to drive off CO₂, as when limestone is heated to produce lime.

The term also applies to removing dissolved carbon dioxide from liquids.

The water was decarbonated before testing.

The related noun decarbonation describes this process.
