<p>Systems and methods for removing carbon dioxide from gas, e.g., diesel exhaust gas, are provided. The systems involve uptake of carbon dioxide by algae in water to which the gas is exposed. In the system shown in Figure 1, water enters the column through inlet (1) after passing through valve (2); exhaust gas containing carbon dioxide enters through inlet (4) after passing valve (5). The exhaust gas passes through screens (3) placed about 1.2" apart to reduce the size of exhaust bubbles. As the water captures carbon dioxide during its flow through the column, it exits the column through outlet (7) after passing valve (6).</p> |
