Abstract
A system and method that is effective to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide contained in a gas stream. A carbon dioxide absorption and mineralization package is configured to create at least one of carbonates and bicarbonates, and ammonium chloride, from carbon dioxide in the gas stream, an ammoniated solvent, and at least one metal chloride. A mineral separation package is configured to separate carbonates and bicarbonates from the ammonium chloride. A solvent regeneration package is configured to use a catalyst in the creation of chlorine and ammonium hydroxide from the ammonium chloride, heat and oxygen.
