A secondary air system for an aircraft engine comprises an air flow path communicating between a source of pressurized cooling air and an air consuming component. A filter is disposed in the air flow path upstream from the air consuming component. The filter has at least one of: openings of a size selected for capturing suspended particles; and a filter surface material for binding with chemical contaminants.

A swing bed absorption apparatus including a first absorption bed including a first plurality of solid amine based sorbent beads, a second absorption bed including a second plurality of solid amine based sorbent beads, and a solvent pump configured to alternately pump a liquid solvent through the first absorption bed and the second absorption bed. The liquid solvent is configured to alternately desorb the carbon dioxide from the first plurality of solid amine based sorbent beads and the second plurality of solid amine based sorbent beads.

An air revitalization system may include a humidity control device configured to remove water vapor from air within a pressurized enclosed volume. The system may further include an inlet duct configured to transport the air from the pressurized enclosed volume to the humidity control device. The system may also include an outlet duct configured to transport the air from the humidity control device to the pressurized enclosed volume. The system may include a sublimator configured to cool the air within the pressurized enclosed volume while generating additional water vapor. The system may further include a vacuum vent duct configured to transport the water vapor from the humidity control device and the additional water vapor from the sublimator to an exterior of the pressurized enclosed volume.

An ozonising module (1, 100) is disclosed having a housing (1a, 1b, 107) wherein an ozone generator assembly (3, 101) is accommodated, furthermore comprising at least an ozone sensor (4, 102) connected to a control unit (C) apt to control said ozone generator (3, 101) based on a time scheduling and a comparison between an ozone threshold concentration and a concentration signal from said ozone sensor (4, 102), ozone reduction means consisting of a filtering assembly with catalytic action (103) or a reducing assembly employing UV sources (113) through which an airflow is caused to flow by means of respective controlled ventilation means (103a).

An autothermal direct air capture system (ADAC) is disclosed. The ADAC includes a chamber, a water reservoir, and a sorbent that releases water under ambient conditions, binds water under a first moisture level higher than the ambient moisture level, binds CO.sub.2 under ambient conditions, and releases CO.sub.2 under at least one of an elevated temperature and the first moisture level. The ADAC is movable between a capture configuration and a regeneration configuration, the capture configuration including the sorbent being exposed to a gas volume having CO.sub.2 under ambient conditions, the sorbent binding with CO.sub.2 while desorbing water, the sorbent selected so the sorbent material extracts heat while the ADAC is in the capture configuration, resulting in the thermal charging of the sorbent. The regeneration configuration includes the sorbent inside the chamber and in contact with water, the sorbent releasing carbon dioxide while binding water and depositing heat into the chamber.
