Abstract
The carbon dioxide filter system includes a reservoir, a solvent, an injector coupled to the reservoir, an exhaust port, and a collection chamber. The solvent is disposed in the reservoir. The injector, the exhaust port, and the collection chamber are each coupled to the reservoir. The solvent includes a hydroxide. The injector includes a fan configured to direct polluted air containing carbon dioxide to the reservoir. The polluted air containing carbon dioxide reacts with the hydroxide of the solvent. The reaction may separate the carbon dioxide from the air, thus forming a liquid filter. The reaction produces a by-product that is separable from the solvent.

A carbon dioxide filter system configured to filter carbon dioxide out of polluted air, comprising:
- a reservoir;
- a solvent including a hydroxide disposed within the reservoir;
- an injector coupled to the reservoir;
- an exhaust port coupled to reservoir;
- and
- a collection chamber coupled to the reservoir.
A method of using a carbon dioxide filter system configured to filter carbon dioxide out of polluted air from an atmosphere, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a carbon dioxide filter system having a reservoir, a solvent, an injector, an exhaust port, and a collection chamber, the solvent including a hydroxide disposed within the reservoir, the injector, the exhaust port, and the collection chamber are coupled to the reservoir;
- injecting the polluted air into the reservoir;
- reacting polluted air with the solvent;
- filtering carbon dioxide from polluted air;
- releasing filtered air through exhaust port;
- and
- collecting a by-product from the reaction of the polluted air with the solvent.
