    Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for sequestering carbon from atmospheric air using a hydroxide compound in a two stage process to maximize carbon dioxide capture. The first stage is provided by a coarse filter saturated with a calcium hydroxide solution. The second stage is provided by a reaction chamber having at least one spray nozzle for creating a mist of hydroxide solution within the reaction chamber. Air is drawn through the device by a fan to cause the air to first contact the hydroxide solution on the saturated filter, and then to contact the hydroxide solution in the mist sprayed within the reaction chamber. The hydroxide solution is collected in a reservoir, centrifuged to separate the captured carbon from the solution, and then recirculated back into the saturated filter and through the spray nozzles into the reaction chamber.
