METHODS FOR APPLYING MICROCHANNELS TO SEPARATE GASES USING LIQUID ABSORBENTS, ESPECIALLY IONIC LIQUID (IL) ABSORBENTS

摘要

Methods of using microchannel separation systems including absorbents to improve thermal efficiency and reduce parasitic power loss. Energy is typically added to desorb a solute and then energy or heat is removed to absorb a solute using a working solution. The working solution or absorbent may comprise an ionic liquid, or other fluids that demonstrate a difference in affinity between a solute and other gasses in a solution.
