Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for separating CO 2 from gas mixtures uses a slurried media impregnated with buffer compounds and coating the solid media with a catalyst or enzyme that promotes the transformation of CO 2 to carbonic acid. Buffer sorbent pebbles with a catalyst or enzyme coating are provided for rapid separation of CO 2 from gas mixtures.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An apparatus for separation of carbon dioxide from a gas mixture containing the carbon dioxide, comprising: a water wash, said water wash including a spray system wherein the gas mixture is washed with water by said spray system and wherein the carbon dioxide in the gas mixture is dissolved in said water producing carbon dioxide laden water, an absorbing media made of a multiplicity of pebbles with each pebble being a porous sorbent pebble, said poro…
