Abstract
The embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method and compounds for capturing and releasing carbon dioxide. The method comprises heating, and/or pressurizing, or electrolyzing a carbon capture compound that comprises beryllium in order to reduce a carbon dioxide content of a carbon dioxide containing gas.
Claims20
A method for capturing and releasing carbon dioxide comprising:
- (a) heating a beryllium carbonate containing compound to form a lower carbon dioxide content compound and releasing a first carbon dioxide containing gas;
- (b) cooling the lower carbon dioxide content compound in a presence of a second carbon dioxide containing gas to reform the beryllium carbonate containing compound;
- (c) cycling steps b and c to capture carbon dioxide from the second carbon dioxide containing gas,
- wherein the first carbon dioxide containing gas has a higher carbon dioxide content than the second carbon dioxide containing gas.
