Continuous Electrochemical Carbon Capture via Redox-Mediated pH Swing─Experimental Performance and Process Modeling.

ABSTRACT: We investigate a continuous electrochemical pH-swing method to capture CO₂ from a gas phase. The electrochemical cell consists of a single cation-exchange membrane (CEM) and a recirculation of a mixture of salt and phenazine-based redox-active molecules. In the absorption compartment, this solution is saturated by CO₂ from a mixed gas phase at high pH. In the electrochemical cell, pH is reduced, and CO₂ is selectively released in a desorption step. We investigate the influence of redox molecule concentration on the charge storage capacity of the solution, as well as the impact of current density and solution recirculation rate on process performance. A theoretical framework, based on a minimal set of assumptions, is established. This framework describes the
