Extraction of Carbon Dioxide from Seawater by Ion Exchange Resin Part I: Using a Strong Acid Cation Exchange

Abstract

As part of a larger project to synthesize liquid hydrocarbon jet fuels from environmental carbon and hydrogen, this report investigates the efficiency of one of the simplest ion exchange resin systems for removal of carbon dioxide from seawater. Carbon dioxide is relatively concentrated in the ocean and would provide a natural source of carbon that would be ideal for use in a shipboard fuel synthesis process.
