Abstract

The present application focuses on systems and methods that utilize one or more carbon dioxide (CO) sorbent substrates and a swing cycle, e.g., a moisture swing cycle, to increase the partial pressure of the COin a gaseous feedstock, which is delivered through a membrane to a bioreactor, such as a membrane carbonation photobioreactor. Such systems and processes offer an effective means for concentrating and capturing COobtained from air and delivering the concentrated COto a photobioreactor through a membrane.
