Abstract
The invention generally relates to a bi-directional reactor and supported amine sorbent, and more particularly to a method and system for carbon dioxide sequestration utilizing a bi-directional reactor and monoethenalamine (MEA) on a substrate. The bi-directional reactor is configured to reclaim the sorbent material as the sorbent is immobilized during the sorption phase, but is mobilized during desorption phased. The immobilized sorbent reacts with the desired contaminate to absorb and is transported to another reactor during desorption phase, thereby permitting reclamation of the sorbent.
