Abstract
This invention relates generally to an improvement in low pressure storage and dispensing systems for the selective storing of gases having Lewis acidity or basicity, and the subsequent dispensing of said gases at pressures, e.g., generally below 5 psig and typically below atmospheric pressure, by modest heating, pressure reduction or both. The improvement resides in storing the gases in a reversibly reacted state within a reactive liquid having opposing Lewis basicity or acidity.
