The present invention provides a method and apparatus for removing a contaminant, such as carbon dioxide, from a gas stream, such as ambient air. The contaminant is removed from the gas stream by a sorbent which may be regenerated using a humidity swing, a thermal swing, or a combination thereof. The sorbent may comprise a substrate having embedded positive ions and individually mobile negative ions wherein the positive ions are sufficiently spaced to prevent interactions between the negative ions. Where a thermal swing is used, heat may be conserved by employing a heat exchanger to transfer heat from the regenerated sorbent to an amount of sorbent that is loaded with the contaminant prior to regeneration.

L'invention concerne un procédé et un appareil servant à éliminer un contaminant, tel que le dioxyde de carbone, d'un flux gazeux, tel que l'air ambiant. Le contaminant est éliminé du flux gazeux par un sorbant qui peut être régénéré par une variation d'humidité, une variation thermique ou une combinaison des deux. Le sorbant peut comprendre un substrat contenant des ions positifs intégrés et des ions négatifs mobiles individuellement, les ions positifs étant suffisamment espacés pour empêcher les interactions entre les ions négatifs. Lors d'une variation thermique, la chaleur peut être conservée au moyen d'un échangeur de chaleur servant à transférer la chaleur du sorbant régénéré vers une quantité de sorbant chargée avec le contaminant avant la régénération.
