Abstract Recovery of Carbon Dioxide From Fuel Cell Exhaust A gaseous mixture of hydrogen and carbon dioxide is used as the fuel cell fuel or anode gas, and air is used as the oxidant or cathode gas in a nonalkaline fuel cell power plant. In feeding the fuel gas through the anode side of the fuel cell, hydrogen is removed during the electrochemical reaction and the fuel gas which is exhausted from the anode side has a much higher proportion of carbon dioxide to hydrogen than the entering fuel gas. The fuel gas exhaust is fed through a carbon dioxide absorber to remove carbon dioxide from the fuel exhaust. The carbon dioxide is recovered from the absorber for useful purposes and the hydrogen gas leaving the absorber is dewatered and burned in a reformer. Carbon dioxide emissions from the power plant are thus greatly reduced benefiting the environment.
