Self-cleaning ocean carbon capture device removes mineral buildup while extracting CO₂
A new electrochemical process can rapidly strip dissolved carbon dioxide from ocean water while self-cleaning its own mineral buildup, according to a University of Michigan Engineering study published in Environmental Science & Technology. Because one step produces energy while another consumes it, the method could also help flex the load on the grid.
Researchers at the University of Michigan have developed a experimental device capable of removing dissolved carbon dioxide in the seawater, while cleaning up the mineral deposits that make up it. This technique contributes to reducing ocean acidification and providing combined carbon for industrial uses such as concrete or jet fuel. The results of the study were published in the journal Environmental Science and Technology. According to researc…
Self-Cleaning Device could Pull Carbon Dioxide from Seawater
Researchers at the University of Michigan have developed an experimental device that removes dissolved carbon dioxide from seawater while cleaning away the mineral deposits that form inside it. The technology could eventually help reduce ocean acidity and provide captured carbon for products such as concrete and jet fuel. The process is described in the journal […] The post Self-Cleaning Device could Pull Carbon Dioxide from Seawater appeared fi…
Clean electrodes without washing break: An electrochemical process can release dissolved CO2 from seawater while largely removing mineral deposits on its electrodes. In the laboratory, the next acidic process step eliminated 86 percent of the previously formed coatings. At the same time, the electrochemical energy intensity remained constant over four cycles. Ann Arbor (U.S.A.). The oceans store a large part of [...] The post Self-cleaning cell …
