  • Publication number: 20240003276
    Abstract: A system includes an exhaust gas source that provides exhaust gas pollutants and an adsorbent-filled canister downstream of the exhaust gas source and configured to adsorb exhaust gas pollutants. The systems may further include a heat exchanger. A process includes introducing exhaust gas comprising exhaust gas pollutants into a system that includes an adsorbent-filled canister, such that the exhaust gas may flow through the adsorbent-filled canister and the exhaust gas pollutants may be adsorbed into an adsorption media in the adsorbent-filled canister as adsorbed exhaust gas pollutants. A depleted exhaust gas may pass from the adsorbent-filled canister.

  • Publication number: 20230241549
    Abstract: Methods and systems for gas separation of syngas applying differences in water solubilities of syngas components, the method including producing a product gas comprising hydrogen and carbon dioxide from a hydrocarbon fuel source; separating hydrogen from the product gas to create a hydrogen product stream and a byproduct stream by solubilizing components in water that are more soluble in water than hydrogen; injecting the byproduct stream into a reservoir containing mafic rock; and allowing components of the byproduct stream to react in situ with components of the mafic rock to precipitate and store components of the byproduct stream in the reservoir.

  • Patent number: 11707708
    Abstract: A method for capturing carbon dioxide includes contacting a carbon dioxide lean gas mixture with water. One or more acid gas impurities may pass from the carbon dioxide lean gas mixture to the water to form a gas mixture and an aqueous effluent. The gas mixture is passed to a pressure swing adsorption system or a temperature swing adsorption system to increase a concentration of carbon dioxide in the gas mixture to form a carbon dioxide enriched gas mixture. The carbon dioxide enriched gas mixture is contacted with the aqueous effluent in a carbon dioxide scrubber. Carbon dioxide passes from the carbon dioxide enriched gas mixture to the aqueous effluent to form a stripped gas and acid gas enriched water. The acid gas enriched water is passed to a reactive rock formation. The one or more acid gas impurities and carbon dioxide are mineralized and permanently sequestered.
