Abstract
The present invention relates to a device and a method of using the same for purification and recycling of pollutant gases. The device is a tool to minimize and limit the impact of toxic gases emitted by cars' exhaust systems. The way this device works, makes it possible for the emitted gases, after the fuel combustion, through the exhaust system, to react with a strong alkaline fluid (calcium hydroxide). The result of this reaction is gases friendly to the environment, and natural precipitated components that can be very useful byproducts.
Claims10
An exhaust purifying device, comprising:
- a cylindrical tube structure located at the end of an exhaust system to be an inlet and an outlet of a pollutant gas;
- a tank containing a fluid to treat the pollutant gas, wherein the tank is located on top of the cylindrical structure;
- a mechanical switch to open the tank when a pressure builds up inside the cylindrical tube structure with pollutant gas;
- a cover plate having a double wall structure and a filter to purify the pollutant gas and inserted in the cylindrical tube structure;
- and
- a thermoelectric power generator located inside the cylindrical tube structure, wherein the exhaust purifying device helps in purifying and recycling the pollutant gas by using a basic fluid to react and form a salt.
3 more elements
A method, comprising:
- opening of a left cover plate of a cylindrical tube;
- passing of a pollutant gas through the cylindrical tube;
- releasing a fluid from a tank located on top of the cylindrical tube, wherein the fluid releases once the pollutant gas build pressure inside the cylindrical tube;
- mixing of the fluid with the gas, wherein fluid react with the gas to convert it into treated gas;
- passing the treated gas through a thermoelectric generator located inside the cylindrical tube;
- and
- opening of a right cover plate of the cylindrical tube for the passage of treated gas, wherein the method helps in converting pollutant gas into treated gas which is safe for the environment;
- wherein, the left cover plate or the right cover plate includes a double wall structure and a filter to purify the pollutant gas.
