POLYMER-ENCAPSULATED CARBON CAPTURE LIQUIDS THAT TOLERATE PRECIPITATION OF SOLIDS FOR INCREASED CAPACITY

摘要

A system for carbon dioxide capture from flue gas and other industrial gas sources utilizes microcapsules with very thin polymer shells. The contents of the microcapsules can be liquids or mixtures of liquids and solids. The microcapsules are exposed to the flue gas and other industrial gas and take up carbon dioxide from the flue gas and other industrial gas and eventual precipitate solids in the capsule.
