Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2022022808A1] The invention relates to a method for capturing and recovering carbon dioxide from the ambient air, comprising the continuous performance of the following steps: a) bringing ambient air into contact with a basic aqueous solution; b) electrodialysing the solution using bipolar and and anion-selective ion exchanger membranes and recycling the depleted solution to step a); c) capturing the carbon dioxide from the solution enriched in step b) and recycling the resulting CO2-depleted solution to step b); characterised in that A) the absorption in step a) is performed Ai) in at least one absorber (01a) or Aii) in at least one open tank (01c) or Aiii) in a combination of at least one absorber (01a) and at least one open tank (01c); and/or B) the capture of the carbon dioxide from the solution enriched with (hydrogen) carbonate ions in step c) takes place Bi) by thermal desorption of the carbon dioxide by means of vapour extraction and/or Bii) by chemical reaction by converting the contained CO2 into a water-insoluble salt or a gas and simultaneous removal from the solution; and/or C) before the recycling to step a) or before the carbon dioxide is captured in step c) the pH value of the two solutions obtained in step b) is measured and each pH value is set to a predetermined value; with the proviso that, if the absorption does not take place according to Aiii) in at least one absorber (01a) and at least one tank (01c) but the carbon dioxide is captured according to Bi) by thermal desorption, the pH value is measured and set according to C).
