Patent EP-4268934-A1 (EP)
Inventor: MUROYAMA ALENXANDER
IPC: B01D53/14
Filed: 2022-04-27
Abstract: The use of atmospheric CO 2  as a chemical feedstock is a promising way to decarbonize the chemical and transportation sectors, which currently rely heavily on fossil fuels. This transition requires new technologies to reduce the energy required to capture and separate CO 2 . 
     Here, the present invention discloses a system for capturing carbon dioxide in an aqueous alkaline solution and electrochemically releasing the captured carbon dioxide to a hydrogen-comprising gas stream while simultaneously regenerating the aqueous alkaline solution, said system comprising: 
a) a contactor unit (8) for bringing air (10) or another carbon dioxide comprising gas stream into contact with the aqueous alkaline solution (12) thereby capturing carbon dioxide by the at least partial transformation of the aqueous alkaline solution (12) into a carbonate and/or bicarbonate comprising solution (14); 
b) an electrochemical cell (16) comprising an anion-exchange membrane (18) and a cathode compartment (20) and an anode compartment (22), said anion-exchange membrane (20) separating the cathode compartment (20) from the anode compartment (22); 
c) a first feeder (24) that supplies the carbonate and/or bicarbonate comprising solution (14) to the cathode compartment (20) thereby enabling a hydrogen evolution reaction to take place in order to generate hydroxide ions thus regenerating the aqueous alkaline solution (12) and transporting carbonate anions through the anion-exchange membrane (18) to the anode compartment (22); 
d) a second feeder (26) that supplies a hydrogen comprising gas stream (28) to the anode compartment (22) thereby providing the anode as hydrogen depolarized anode thus evolving gaseous carbon dioxide; and 
e) an exhaust gas duct (30) to evacuate the hydrogen depleted and carbon dioxide enriched gas stream (6) from the anode compartment (22) for further processing of the components of the hydrogen depleted and carbon dioxide enriched gas stream (6), preferably of the carbon dioxide content therein. 
     This system and the process executed herewith simultaneously regenerates the CO 2  capture solution on the feed side while enriching a stream of H 2  with CO 2  on the permeate side of the cell. The present results show a high CO 2  transport faradaic efficiency when supplying an alkaline solution, such as a pure K 2 CO 3  solution, at current densities up to 60 mA/cm 2 . A small cathode gap benefites cell operation by preventing membrane transport of OH - , although with an increased ohmic resistance. This represents a step forward in the application of electrochemistry to drive processes that are critical to CO 2  valorization.
