SEQUESTRATION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240091736 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 switches between producing solid carbon using a catalyst from a first raw material and performing a reaction of a second raw material to remove at least a part of the deposited solid carbon from the catalyst.
- Electrolysis part with an electrolysis cell, anode, cathode, anode flow path, and cathode flow path
- Reaction part that switches between producing solid carbon and performing a reaction to remove solid carbon from the catalyst
Potential Applications
The technology could be applied in carbon sequestration systems, carbon capture and storage processes, and environmental remediation projects.
