Abstract:
1. A system comprising: a mass exchanger having a first surface and a second surface and including a selective transport membrane comprising an ionomeric polymer; a gas flow structure configured to direct a flow of a gas mixture to pass by in contact with the first surface of the mass exchanger; and a liquid flow structure configured to direct a flow of a liquid mixture to pass by in contact with the second surface of the mass exchanger, the mass exchanger configured to receive a first gas out of the gas mixture including at least the first gas and a second gas and to transfer the first gas therethrough to the second surface to be accepted by the liquid mixture without transferring the second gas therethrough when the gas mixture is in contact with the first surface, when the liquid mixture is in contact with the second surface, and when the gas mixture and the liquid mixture have first predetermined conditions, the mass exchanger configured to receive the first gas from the liquid mixture and to transfer the first gas therethrough from the second surface to the first surface to be accepted by the gas mixture when the liquid mixture is in contact with the second surface, when the gas mixture is in contact with the first surface, and when the gas mixture and the liquid mixture have second predetermined conditions.
