Highly Efficient Closed-Loop CO2 Removal System for Deep-Space ECLSS
Project Description
TDA Research Inc.(TDA) in collaboration with University of Puerto Rico ? Mayaguez (UPRM is proposing to develop a highly efficient CO2 removal system based on UPRM proprietary strontium exchanged silico-alumino-phosphate (Sr-SAPO-34) for closed loop space craft cabin air re-vitalization during deep space missions.

Anticipated Benefits
The objective of the Phase I STTR research is to scale-up the sorbent production, evaluate the scaled-up preparations in bench-scale, carry out long term multiple cycle tests in a fixed bed adsorption system and complete a detailed system design and engineering analysis to show the merits of the technology.
This system will also find use in earth for removing CO2 from confined spaces such as large buildings, aircrafts, and submarines to reduce the energy use of next generation life support and air conditioning systems. The sorbent developed is also applicable to a wide variety of industrial processes, which require CO2 removal (i.e., CO2 capture from flue gas, biogas, natural gas, etc.) and sorbent enhanced water-gas-shift reaction in hydrogen manufacturing.
