Abstract
Methods are provided for the selective removal of CO from a multicomponent gaseous stream to provide a CO depleted gaseous stream. In practicing the subject methods, an initial multicomponent gaseous stream that includes a gaseous CO hydrate promoter is contacted with an aqueous fluid, e.g., CO nucleated water, in a hydrate formation reactor under conditions of selective CO clathrate formation to produce a CO clathrate slurry and CO depleted gaseous stream. Also provided are systems that find use in practicing the subject methods. The subject methods and systems find use in a variety of applications where it is desired to selectively remove CO from a multicomponent gaseous stream.
