ATMOSPHERIC CARBON DIOXIDE CAPTURE SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240252983 titled 'ATMOSPHERIC CARBON DIOXIDE CAPTURE SYSTEM

The abstract describes an atmospheric cocapture system that includes a compartment housing a solid cosorbent, an exchange fluid with a chemical component selective towards CO, and an electrochemical cell. The system operates in a cycle involving sorbing CO from incoming air, regenerating the sorbent by flooding it with the exchange fluid to detach CO, and regenerating the chemical component by detaching CO in the electrochemical cell.

Commercial Applications: Title: "Innovative Atmospheric Cocapture System for Carbon Emissions Reduction" This technology can be used in power plants, factories, and other industrial facilities to reduce carbon emissions and comply with environmental regulations. It can also be implemented in air purification systems for residential and commercial buildings.

Questions about Atmospheric Cocapture System: 1. How does the electrochemical cell contribute to the regeneration process? The electrochemical cell helps detach CO from the chemical component, allowing for the release of CO from the system. 2. What are the key advantages of using a solid cosorbent in this system? The solid cosorbent provides a stable and efficient means of capturing CO from incoming air.

Original Abstract Submitted

an atmospheric cocapture system includes a compartment housing a solid cosorbent, an exchange fluid including a chemical component with selectivity towards co, and an electrochemical cell in fluid communication with the compartment, the system having a cycle including a first state of sorbing cofrom incoming air onto the solid cosorbent until a saturation point is reached; a second state of regenerating the sorbent by flooding the compartment with the exchange fluid to detach cofrom the saturated sorbent and bind the detached coto the chemical component; and a third state of regenerating the chemical component by detaching cofrom the chemical component in the electrochemical cell and releasing the cofrom the system.
