A method for maximizing the effective life and utilization of CO2-absorbent material in a scrubber system (10) for removing carbon dioxide from an air inflow to a metal-air battery (12) or fuel cell comprises providing, in such a battery, a housing (14) including a gas inlet (16), a gas outlet (18), and at least one removable, gas-permeable container (20a,20b,20c) containing a CO2-absorbent material (22), the container being positioned across the flow path of gas entering said inlet and exiting said outlet. After a predetermined utilization of the system, the at least one removable, gas-permeable container is removed therefrom and spent CO2-absorbent material from the container is regenerated for reuse in the scrubber system, the regeneration including at least periodically removing accumulated Group 1a metal carbonate deposits. <IMAGE> |
