CARBONIC ANHYDRASE BIOREACTOR AND PROCESS FOR CO2-CONTAINING GAS EFFLUENT TREATMENT

摘要

A carbonic anhydrase bioreactor and process are disclosed. The bioreactor has a reaction chamber, liquid inlet, gas inlet, liquid outlet and gas outlet. The bioreactor and process use carbonic anhydrase provided on or in substrates that are in suspension within a liquid for catalyzing a reaction of CO2 into bicarbonate and hydrogen ions to obtain a treated gas and an ion-rich solution.
