Method and apparatus for extracting carbon dioxide from air

摘要

A method and apparatus for extracting CO from air comprising an anion exchange material formed in a matrix exposed to a flow of the air, and for delivering that extracted CO to controlled environments. The present invention contemplates the extraction of CO from air using conventional extraction methods or by using one of the extraction methods disclosed; e.g., humidity swing or electro dialysis. The present invention also provides delivery of the CO to greenhouses where increased levels of CO will improve conditions for growth. Alternatively, the CO is fed to an algae culture.
