Carbon dioxide--oxygen separation: facilitated transport of carbon dioxide across a liquid film

W J Ward 3rd et al. Science. .

Abstract

An immobilized film of an aqueous bicarbonate-carbonate solution was developed which was 4100 times more permeable to carbon dioxide than to oxygen. The carbon dioxide transport was reaction-rate limited, and thus it could be increased by addition to the film of catalysts for the hydrolysis of carbon dioxide.
