This invention describes a system that captures carbon dioxide from a gas source and converts it into solid carbonate minerals. It uses a conversion chamber containing a liquid solvent and a catalyst, along with a pressure-driven turbine to generate power and a heat exchanger to regulate temperature. A key part of the system is a solar chamber that heats the carbonates using a carbon nanotube layer, a graphene disc, and concentration lenses within an insulated enclosure.
Why it matters: Since 2018, the manufacturing and integration of advanced materials like carbon nanotubes and graphene composites have become more refined and accessible. This could make the specialized solar heating components, including the concentration lenses, more feasible to implement for mineral conversion.
