摘要:
Methods for enzyme-enhanced CO2 capture include contacting a CO2-containing gas with an aqueous absorption solution at process conditions—such as high temperature, high pH, and/or using carbonate-based solutions—in the presence of Thermovibrio ammonificans carbonic anhydrase (TACA) or functional derivative thereof for catalyzing the hydration reaction of CO2 into bicarbonate and hydrogen ions and/or catalyzing the desorption reaction to produce a CO2 gas. The TACA may be provided to flow with the solution to cycle through a CO2 capture system that includes an absorber and a stripper.
摘要:
A formulation and process for capturing CO2 use an absorption mixture containing water, biocatalysts and an absorption compound selected from dimethylmonoethanolamine (DMMEA), diethylmonoethanolamine (DEMEA), and dimethylglycine. The process may include contacting a CO2-containing gas with the absorption mixture to enable dissolution and transformation of CO2 into bicarbonate and hydrogen ions, thereby producing a CO2-depleted gas and an ion-rich solution, followed by subjecting the ion-rich solution to desorption.
摘要:
The present description relates to recombinant or engineered carbonic anhydrase polypeptides, variants, and functional derivatives thereof, having improved properties that make them advantageous for use in CO2 capture operations (e.g., CO2 capture solvents, alkaline pH, and/or elevated temperatures), as well as polynucleotides and vectors encoding same. The present description also relates to methods, processes and systems for CO2 capture which make use of the recombinant or engineered carbonic anhydrase polypeptides, variants, and functional derivatives thereof.
摘要:
The present disclosure describes the efficient use of a catalyst, an enzyme for example, to provide suitable real cyclic capacity to a solvent otherwise limited by its ability to absorb and maintain a high concentration of CO2 captured from flue gas. This invention can apply to non-promoted as well as promoted solvents and to solvents with a broad range of enthalpy of reaction.
