Method and apparatus for carbon dioxide separation

Abstract

A method for removing CO2 and H2O from an exhaust gas, the method comprising: (a) an adsorption step in which a non-amine metal organic framework is contacted for 10-900 seconds with an exhaust gas comprising CO2 in an amount of at least 3 v/v %, and H2O in an amount of at least 0.3 v/v %, in order to adsorb CO2 and H2O onto the metal organic framework, and (b) a desorption step in which a vacuum is applied to the metal organic framework from step (a) such that CO2 and H2O are desorbed from the metal organic framework.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
