Gas scrubbing reagent and methods for using same

摘要

A reagent composition for removing a contaminant from a gas. The reagent composition contains (1) a silicate compound; (2) a sequestrant; and optionally a surfactant. The reagent composition may be used in methods to remove contaminants from gases. The reagent composition in combination with micro/miniature mechanical structures provides for reduced back pressure and reduced volume of the reaction chamber.
