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

摘要

Methods of using microchannel separation systems including absorbents toimprove thermal efficiency and reduceparasitic power loss. Energy is typically added to desorb a solute and thenenergy or heat is removed to absorb a solute using aworking solution. The working solution or absorbent may comprise an ionicliquid, or other fluids that demonstrate a difference inaffinity between a solute and other gasses in a solution.
