Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a device and method based on an electrically-driven chemical carbon pump combined cycle for a diluted carbon source. The device includes: an electrolytic cell and a cell structure. The electrolytic cell includes a cathode reaction chamber, a CO2 desorption chamber, a CO2 absorption chamber, and an anode reaction chamber that are connected in sequence. The CO2 desorption chamber and the CO2 absorption chamber are communicated through a bipolar membrane (BPM). The cell structure includes: a negative electrode, a positive electrode, a positive region, and a negative region. The negative electrode is arranged in the negative region, and the positive electrode is arranged in the positive region. The negative electrode is connected with the cathode reaction chamber, and the positive electrode is connected with the anode reaction chamber. A liquid outlet of the negative region is communicated with a liquid inlet of the cathode reaction chamber.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system for capturing carbon from air based on bipolar membrane electrodialysis, which includes a first cation exchange membrane, a bipolar membrane and a second cation exchange membrane arranged in sequence, where a desorption chamber is arranged between the first cation exchange membrane and the bipolar membrane, and an absorption chamber is arranged between the bipolar membrane and the second cation exchange membrane; and a cathode reaction chamber is arranged on the other side of the first cation exchange membrane, and an anode reaction chamber is arranged on the other side of the second cation exchange membrane. The system improves carbon capture rate and capture purity, and can be adapted to various scenarios.
