摘要： A method and apparatus for extracting CO2 from air comprising an anion exchange material formed in a matrix exposed to a flow of the air, and for delivering that extracted CO2 to controlled environments. The present invention contemplates the extraction of CO2 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 CO2 to greenhouses where increased levels of CO2 will improve conditions for growth. Alternatively, the CO2 is fed to an algae culture.

摘要： Methods and apparatus for capturing carbon dioxide from ambient air and delivering said carbon dioxide to an enclosed environment are described. In general, the methods and apparatus comprise contacting a packed bed or fluidized bed device with a stream of ambient air, wherein the packed bed or fluidized bed device comprises a humidity-sensitive sorbent material that adsorbs carbon dioxide from the ambient air; contacting the packed bed or fluidized bed device with a stream of humid air to release the adsorbed carbon dioxide; delivering the released carbon dioxide to an enclosed environment; and optionally, repeating the steps of contacting the packed bed or fluidized bed device with ambient air and humid air in an alternating fashion.

摘要： Disclosed herein are compositions and methods for manufacturing composite paper-based sorbents configured for durability, and high surface area exposure to air. Composite paper-based sorbents can comprise fibers (e.g. natural and/or synthetic fibers), anion exchange resins, and additives. Composite paper-based sorbents can be configured for durability when used in various forming processes, e.g., corrugation, and when used under a variety of conditions, for example, in high and low humidity environments.
