Electrolysis Reagent Regeneration for Cyclical CO2 Capture Using NaOH
The expected CO2 capture efficiency with NaOH and shockwave mechanics in a single pass is between 40-60% and creates Na2CO3. Paired with dual cell membrane electrolysis, this creates a close-looped process. The electrolyzed Na2CO3 disassociates into CO2 and NaOH. The CO2 gas is high purity, free of contaminants, and relatively dry making it ready for commercial usage, including liquefaction and transport. The NaOH is cycled back into the system to be repeatedly reused as reagent.

Catalytic Thermal Reagent Regeneration for Cyclical CO2 Capture using Na2CO3
CO2 capture using Na2CO3 is low cost but with lower efficiency. The expected capture performance of CO2 capture using Na2CO3 and shockwave mechanics in a single pass is between 10-20%. The resulting product is NaHCO3. NaHCO3 can be decomposed using a proprietary catalytic heat exchanger which is placed upstream of the CO2 system to use “free heat exchange” that also conditions the CO2 gas temperature. The proprietary catalyst can release clean and dry CO2 from NaHCO3 at only 140F. This low temperature, high purity CO2 is ready for commercial usage via compression or liquefaction and transport. The remaining Na2CO3 is then pumped back into the system as recycled reagent in a close-looped process.

Shockwave CO2 Chemical Loop Basic Process Equipment
Chem Loop systems can easily be scaled either up or down to suit user application. Shocktubes with guaranteed performance come in standard sizes. Scaling up means adding larger and more shocktubes while scaling down means reducing shocktube sizes and quantity.
