  • Patent number: 11198090
    Abstract: A method for regenerating an amine-based, acid gas absorbent using a mixed catalyst containing silver oxide and silver carbonate includes the steps of absorbing an acid gas into an acid gas absorbent having an amine group to obtain an acid gas-absorbed absorbent; and regenerating the amine-based, acid gas absorbent by adding a catalyst mixture containing silver oxide and silver carbonate to the acid gas-absorbed absorbent and by removing the acid gas at a temperature ranging from 40° C. to 86° C. When the amine-based acid gas absorbent is an acid gas absorbent solution and when the acid gas that is absorbed into the acid gas absorbent solution is carbon dioxide, the catalyst mixture efficiently promotes decomposition of carbon dioxide-bound carbamate in the acid gas absorbent solution that absorbs the carbon dioxide through a novel catalytic reaction pathway.

  • Patent number: 10818953
    Abstract: An apparatus and process are provided for electricity production and high-efficiency trapping of carbon dioxide, using carbon dioxide within combustion exhaust gas and converging technologies associated with a carbon dioxide absorption tower and a generating device using ions which uses a difference in concentration of salinity between seawater and freshwater. It is expected that enhanced electrical energy production efficiency, an effect of reducing costs for the operation of a carbon dioxide trapping process, and electricity production from carbon dioxide, which is a greenhouse gas, can be simultaneously achieved by increasing the difference in concentration using an absorbent for absorbing carbon dioxide.
