Abstract
A method comprises flowing process solution and electrode solution into a BPMED apparatus, applying a voltage such that the process solution is acidified and basified and dissolved COis generated, flowing the process solution out of the apparatus, and desorbing COout of the process solution. A method for desorbing COfrom an ocean comprises flowing seawater and electrode solution into a BPMED apparatus, applying a voltage such that dissolved COis generated, flowing the seawater out of the apparatus, and desorbing COout of the seawater. A method for producing a desalted solution and COgas comprises flowing process solution and electrode solution into a BPMED apparatus that includes one or more three-compartment cells, applying a voltage such that the process solution is acidified, basified, and desalted, flowing the process solution out of the apparatus, and desorbing COout of the process solution.
