摘要:
A formulation and process for capturing CO 2 use an absorption mixture containing water, biocatalysts and a carbonate compound. The process includes contacting a CO 2 - containing gas with the absorption mixture to enable dissolution and transformation of CO 2 into bicarbonate and hydrogen ions, thereby producing a CO 2 -depleted gas and an ion-rich solution, followed by subjecting the ion-rich solution to desorption. The biocatalyst improves absorption of the mixture comprising carbonate compounds and the carbonate compound promotes release of the bicarbonate ions from the ion-rich solution during desorption, producing a CO 2 gas stream and an ion-depleted solution.
摘要:
A process for capturing CO 2 includes contacting a CO 2 -containing gas with an absorption mixture optionally within a packed reactor. The absorption mixture includes a liquid solution and micro-particles. The micro-particles include a support material and biocatalyst supported by the support material and are sized and provided in a concentration such that the absorption mixture flows through the packed reactor and that the micro-particles are carried with the liquid solution to promote dissolution and transformation of CO 2 into bicarbonate and hydrogen ions. The absorption mixture and micro-particles may be provided in an absorption reactor so as to be pumpable. Furthermore, a process for desorbing CO 2 gas from an ion-rich aqueous mixture includes providing biocatalytic micro-particles and feeding the mixture to a desorption reactor, to promote transformation of the bicarbonate and hydrogen ions into CO 2 gas and water.
摘要:
A formulation and a process for CO2 capture, where a CO2-containing gas in contacted with water, biocatalyst and an amino acid compound, enabling the dissolution and transformation of the CO2 into bicarbonate ions and hydrogen ions, producing an ion-rich solution and a CO2-depleted gas. The amino acids may present slow absorption kinetics and having elevated stability such that absorption is enhanced in combination with the biocatalyst. The amino acid compound and the biocatalyst may be selected such that the active sites of the biocatalyst benefit from proton removal facilitated by the amino acid compounds, thus improving the CO2 absorption.
