Disclosed are methods and systems for capturing carbon dioxide (CO.sub.2) from an input gas stream (e.g., flue gas from a combustion process). In particular, the system includes a CO.sub.2 absorption module that directs supersaturated CO.sub.2 process water to a CO.sub.2 recovery process. The CO.sub.2 recovery process includes a sparging seal vessel, followed by an agitator, followed by a stripper unit, followed by an outgassing tank, and lastly a membrane separator, configured to outgas CO.sub.2 from the supersaturated process water and direct the gaseous CO.sub.2 into a CO.sub.2 collection header.

A reactor apparatus, includes: a reactor chamber having an inlet through which treatment liquid containing by-products is introduced and having an interior space; a burner at a lower end portion of the reactor chamber to burn waste gas; a guide member above the burner and configured to allow the treatment liquid to flow outwardly of the burner; a water reservoir between the burner and the guide member, the water reservoir having a double pipe structure having an inner wall portion and an outer wall portion, and through which water supplied through a water inlet is configured to flow between the inner wall portion and the outer wall portion; and a cover member coupled to an upper end portion of the water reservoir and configured to cover a space between the inner wall portion and the outer wall portion, wherein an upper end of the outer wall portion is above an upper end of the inner wall portion, wherein a plurality of bumps are on a bottom surface of the cover member spaced apart from each other in a circumferential direction, the plurality of bumps configured to form a gap of several hundred pm between the bottom surface of the cover member and an upper surface of the inner wall portion of the water reservoir.

A method of capturing CO.sub.2 and converting the captured CO.sub.2 into useful byproducts includes providing a material including a material matrix holding an ionic liquid, exposing the material to a source of thermal energy to capture CO.sub.2 within the material, removing the material from exposure to the source of thermal energy, and washing the material with a solution to convert the captured CO.sub.2 and wash the converted, captured CO.sub.2 from the material as filtrate. Materials and systems for capturing CO.sub.2 and converting the captured CO.sub.2 into useful byproducts are also provided.

The present disclosure relates to a spray apparatus for improving the performance of a rectangular-shaped scrubber which may efficiently remove harmful substances in a gas by mounting an injector for spraying a liquid in a rectangular pyramid shape on a scrubber having a rectangular shape. The spray apparatus includes: a scrubber having a rectangular shape; and an injector mounted on the scrubber and including a spray nozzle configured to spray a liquid in a rectangular pyramid shape.

The present invention provides a new method for fixing carbon dioxide. The method for fixing carbon dioxide of the present invention, includes: a contact step of bringing a mixed liquid containing sodium hydroxide and further containing at least one of a chloride of a Group 2 element or a chloride of a divalent metal element into contact with a gas containing carbon dioxide, wherein in the contact step, the mixed liquid and the gas are brought into contact with each other by feeding the gas into the mixed liquid, a concentration of the sodium hydroxide in the mixed liquid is 0.01 N or more and 0.2 N or less, and in the contact step, the feeding is performed by a motor-driven pump, and the motor is driven by utilizing power generated by photovoltaic power generation.

Provided is a boiler plant including a carbon dioxide capture system. The carbon dioxide capture system has an absorbing-liquid regeneration device and an absorber. The absorbing-liquid regeneration device includes a regenerator, a first circulation line in which the absorbing liquid is taken out from the regenerator and is returned to the regenerator, and a second circulation line in which the absorbing liquid is taken out from the regenerator and is returned to the regenerator, a heat exchanger, a heater, and a switcher. The heat exchanger heats the absorbing liquid by exchanging heat between the absorbing liquid flowing through the first circulation line and steam from the boiler. The heater heats the absorbing liquid flowing in the second circulation line. The switcher switches between a first heating state in which the absorbing liquid flows in the first circulation line and a second heating state in which the absorbing liquid flows in the second circulation line.
