Carbon dioxide capture and storage system

摘要

A system for capturing and storing carbon dioxide. The CO2 sequestration system may include one or more sub-systems for generating electricity, a heat exchange system which may regulate temperature, and a conversion tank. The conversion tank may contain water with dissolved compounds and a catalyst. Carbon dioxide may be converted into carbonate minerals and drawn off to be used in any of a variety of applications.

主权项

1. A system for sequestering carbon dioxide, comprising:
a conversion chamber containing a solvent with elements capable of forming mineral carbonates, and a catalyst; a gas pathway with a first end proximate the conversion chamber and a second end proximate a gas input; a separator coupled to the conversion chamber and configured to reversibly remove the catalyst from suspension in the solvent; a heat exchanger in the gas pathway between the gas input and conversion chamber configured to control the temperature of gas flowing through the gas input; and a bladed turbine generator in the gas pathway between the heat exchanger and the gas input, the bladed turbine generator capable of generating electricity using the physical force of the gas moving through the gas pathway.
