Abstract
A composite material for gas capture including CO2 capture and capture of other gases. The composite material includes solid or liquid reactive material, filler material, and a gas-permeable polymer coating such that the reactive material forms micron-scale domains in the filler material.
Claims26
A reactor for removing a single gas or multiple gases from a gas stream containing the single gas or the multiple gases, comprising:
- an extruded composite;
- a filler in said extruded composite;
- units of sorbent material in said extruded composite with said filler;
- and
- a gas-permeable polymer coating layer around said extruded composite.
A method of making a reactor for removing a single gas or multiple gases from a gas stream containing the single gas or the multiple gases, comprising the steps of:
- providing a filler material,
- providing a sorbent material,
- extruding said filler material and said sorbent material to produce an extrudant, and
- providing a gas-permeable polymer coating layer around said extrudant to produce the reactor.
A reactor product that removes a single gas or multiple gases from a gas stream containing the single gas or the multiple gases, comprising:
- units of sorbent material;
- a gas-permeable polymer;
- and
- a composite material that is a mixture of said units of sorbent material and said gas-permeable polymer.
