Abstract
A system for separating a gaseous constituent from a gaseous mixture includes a substantially sealed passageway extending between a first exhaust port and a second exhaust port. An entry port for a gas mixture to be separated opens into the passageway. At least three gas-permeable electrodes are disposed across the passageway at intervals. The electrodes divide the passageway into multiple sections. Each section is bounded at opposing ends by an electrode, and the sections are disposed in serial fashion through at least a portion of the passageway. A high-voltage static electric field may be applied to opposing electrodes of one or more sections. When voltage is so applied, gas may be drawn through a static electric field in one or more sections, by applying suction to the exhaust ports.
Claims14
A modular tubular system for separating a gaseous constituent from a gaseous mixture, comprising:
- a plurality of single-stage modules, each single-stage module comprising:
- a tube section connected to a collar section, wherein the collar section has an inner diameter sized to fit an outer diameter of the tube section, the tube section having a tubular interior;
- a gas-permeable electrode disposed across the tubular interior;
- and
- an electrical terminal connected to the gas-permeable electrode;
- an entry port module for receiving the gaseous mixture, wherein the entry port module comprises first and second openings for connecting to the tube section of the single-stage modules;
- and
- a substantially sealed passageway formed by connecting the plurality of single-stage modules and entry port module in serial fashion, the passageway extending between a first exhaust port module and a second exhaust port module.
