Abstract
A material with cationic exchanger properties is introduced into aqueous media, where the equilibriums of carbon dioxide dissolution take place. A cationic exchanger material x/nMEis used to capture hydronium cations (HO) according to:ME()+HO(aq)=HOE()+M(aq)where 'x' stands for molar amount of the anionic centers of charge of the cationic exchanger material Ebalanced by x/n molar amount of metal M, 'n' stands for the metal valence, and M is selected from the group consisting of 1A and/or 2A of the periodic table of elements. This capture of the hydronium cations, HO, shifts certain reaction equilibriums to the right, according to Le Chatelier's principle, producing more bicarbonate, HCO, and/or carbonate, CO, than would otherwise be obtained.
