System, method, and device for small scale carbon dioxide collection

A carbon dioxide collection system, comprising:

• a plurality of carbon dioxide collection devices, each device comprising:
• a sorbent bed comprising a sorbent resin;
• a blower in fluid communication with the sorbent bed through at least one duct;
• a collection tray beneath the sorbent bed, the collection tray comprising a fluid drain;
• an air intake and an air exhaust in fluid communication with the air intake through the sorbent bed, the at least one duct, and the blower;
• a capture configuration comprising an air flow driven by the blower and flowing from the air intake to the air exhaust and passing through the sorbent resin of the sorbent bed, the at least one duct, and the blower;
• and
• a regeneration configuration comprising the sorbent bed submerged in a regeneration fluid;
• wherein moving the device from the capture configuration to the regeneration configuration comprises flooding at least the sorbent resin of the sorbent bed with the regeneration fluid having a first dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) concentration, the regeneration fluid introduced to the sorbent resin via a liquid input and preventing the air flow from passing through the sorbent resin;
• and
• wherein moving the device from the regeneration configuration to the capture configuration comprises removing the regeneration fluid collected in the collection tray through the fluid drain in the collection tray, the regeneration fluid passing through the fluid drain having a second DIC concentration higher than the first DIC concentration.
