SEQUESTRATION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18175005 titled 'SEQUESTRATION SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The sequestration system described in the patent application includes an electrolysis part with an electrolysis cell, an anode, a cathode, an anode flow path, and a cathode flow path. It also includes a reaction part that can switch between producing solid carbon from a first raw material and performing a reaction with a second raw material to remove solid carbon from a catalyst.
- Electrolysis part with an electrolysis cell, anode, cathode, anode flow path, and cathode flow path
- Reaction part that can switch between producing solid carbon and performing a reaction to remove solid carbon from a catalyst
Potential Applications
The technology could be applied in carbon sequestration systems, carbon capture and storage facilities, and environmental remediation projects.
Problems Solved
This technology helps in reducing carbon emissions by capturing and storing solid carbon, thus mitigating the impact of greenhouse gases on the environment.
Benefits
- Efficient removal of solid carbon from the catalyst - Reduction of carbon emissions - Contribution to environmental sustainability
Potential Commercial Applications
"Carbon Sequestration Technology for Greenhouse Gas Mitigation"
Possible Prior Art
There are existing carbon capture and storage technologies that focus on capturing carbon dioxide emissions, but this specific system targets the removal of solid carbon from a catalyst, which could be a novel approach in the field of carbon sequestration.
Unanswered Questions
How does the system handle different types of raw materials containing fluids?
The patent application mentions a first raw material and a second raw material, but it does not specify the nature of these materials or how the system accommodates variations in fluid composition.
What is the efficiency of the system in terms of solid carbon removal?
While the patent application describes the process of removing solid carbon from the catalyst, it does not provide information on the efficiency or effectiveness of this removal process.
Original Abstract Submitted
A sequestration system includes: an electrolysis part having an electrolysis cell having an anode, a cathode, an anode flow path facing on the anode, and a cathode flow path facing on the cathode; and a reaction part configured to switch a first operation and a second operation, the first operation including producing solid carbon using a catalyst from a first raw material containing a first fluid to be introduced from the cathode flow path, and the second operation including performing a reaction of a second raw material containing a second fluid to be introduced from the anode flow path and solid carbon to be deposited on the catalyst to remove at least a part of the deposited solid carbon from the catalyst.
