Laminar flow air collector with solid sorbent materials for capturing ambient CO₂

摘要

The present disclosure provides a method for removing carbon dioxide from a gas stream without consuming excess energy, wherein a solid sorbent material is used to capture the carbon dioxide. The solid sorbent material may utilize a water-swing for regeneration. Various geometric configurations are disclosed for advantageous recovery of CO2 and regeneration of the sorbent material.

主权项

1. A method for capturing carbon dioxide from an air stream, comprising exposing one or more collection surfaces formed of a solid sorbent material to an air stream, wherein the solid sorbent material comprises an ion exchange material and absorbs carbon dioxide from the air stream, and wherein the air stream is laminar, or close to the laminar regime.
