Abstract
A method of electrochemically reducing COcomprises introducing a first feed stream comprising HO to a positive electrode of an electrolysis cell comprising the positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a proton conducting membrane. A second feed stream comprising a solvent and a non polar form of a switchable polarity material is directed into a COcapture apparatus. A third feed stream comprising COis directed into the COcapture apparatus to interact with the second feed stream and form a first product stream comprising the solvent and a polar form of the switchable polarity material. The first product stream is introduced to the negative electrode. A potential difference is applied between the positive electrode and the negative electrode to convert the polar form of the switchable polarity material into COand the non-polar form and to form products from the COand the solvent. A COtreatment system is also described.
