Efficient collection of carbon dioxide using ion exchange resin and vacuum-assisted degasification

Carbon emissions from fossil fuels are an increasing source of global concern, and the reduction of these emissions is a complex issue that involves both technological and geopolitical solutions. Carbon capture provides an alternative approach for the management and reduction of carbon emissions by removing existing carbon dioxide from the air. This technology captures carbon dioxide from the atmosphere onto an anionic exchange resin, and subsequently releases it into solution when the resin is washed with water. Through this technology, the impact of carbon dioxide on climate change may be reduced.
