Abstract

A method for recovering carbon dioxide (CO) from a gas stream is disclosed. The method includes the step of reacting COin the gas stream with fine droplets of a liquid absorbent, so as to form a solid material in which the COis bound. The solid material is then transported to a desorption site, where it is heated, to release substantially pure COgas. The COgas can then be collected and used or transported in any desired way. A related apparatus for recovering carbon dioxide (CO) from a gas stream is also described herein.
