The present disclosure provides systems and methods for direct air capture of carbon dioxide or other gases through a calcium sorbent in a manner that allows for wide scale, relatively low cost implementation. In particular, a calcium sorbent may be provided as a substantially thin coating on one or more substrates and utilized for direct air capture of carbon dioxide through chemisorption. The carbonated sorbent may be disposed of for sequestration of the carbon dioxide or regenerated with capture of carbon dioxide released from the carbonated sorbent during the regeneration process.

This exhaust gas processing equipment is provided with an exhaust line through which exhaust gas discharged from a boiler circulates, a carbon dioxide recovering device for recovering carbon dioxide included in the exhaust gas, and an exhaust gas heating device provided downstream of the carbon dioxide recovering device to heat the exhaust gas. The carbon dioxide recovering device includes a first medium line through which a first medium circulates, and a second medium line through which a second medium higher in temperature than the first medium circulates. The exhaust gas heating device includes a first heating unit for heating the exhaust gas by means of heat exchange with the first medium, and a second heating unit for heating the exhaust gas passing through the first heating unit even more by heat exchange with the second medium.

A method for treating waste gases containing low-concentration volatile organic compounds (VOCs) based on combination of adsorption and in-situ temperature-varying catalytic ozonation, relating to treatment of organic waste gases. In the method, a VOCs-containing waste gas is fed to an adsorption bed for enrichment, which includes a low-temperature regeneration process and a high-temperature regeneration process. A catalyst with high adsorption capacity and catalytic activity is loaded on the adsorption bed.

Provided is a carbon dioxide recovery system including: an absorption tower; a regeneration tower that takes in an absorbing solution that has absorbed carbon dioxide at the absorption tower, and separates the carbon dioxide from the absorbing solution using regenerated steam to regenerate the absorbing solution; first supply piping that supplies the absorbing solution regenerated in the regeneration tower to the absorption tower; a reclaimer that takes in part of the absorbing solution regenerated in the regeneration tower to remove degraded material and supplies the absorbing solution from which the degraded material has been removed to the regeneration tower or the first supply piping; an in-line viscometer that measures a viscosity of the absorbing solution flowing through the first supply piping; and a controller that controls an amount of the absorbing solution processed by the reclaimer based on the viscosity measured by the in-line viscometer.

A carbon dioxide (CO.sub.2) capture and utilization system captures CO.sub.2 from flue gas and utilizes the same to enhance algae or cyanobacteria growth. The system generally comprises a CO.sub.2 capture unit and a utilization unit that is in fluid communication with the CO.sub.2 capture unit. The CO.sub.2 capture unit includes a membrane CO.sub.2 absorber that captures CO.sub.2 from incoming flue gas to produce a CO.sub.2-rich solvent. The utilization unit processes the CO.sub.2-rich solvent to produce a product stream that includes CO.sub.2 and NH.sub.3 in a predetermined CO.sub.2:NH.sub.3 ratio. The product stream is delivered to a cultivation subsystem of the utilization of the unit including one or more species of algae or cyanobacteria. A method for capturing and utilizing CO.sub.2 is also provided herein.

Capture of hydrogen sulfide from a gas mixture may be accomplished using an aqueous solution comprising an amine. Certain sterically hindered amines may selectively form a reaction product with hydrogen sulfide under kinetically controlled contacting conditions and afford a light phase and a heavy phase above a critical solution temperature, wherein the hydrogen sulfide may be present in either phase. Upon separation of the light phase from the heavy phase, processing of one of the phases may take place to remove hydrogen sulfide therefrom. Recycling of the amine to an absorber tower may then take place to promote capture of additional hydrogen sulfide.
