CO2 COLLECTION METHODS AND SYSTEMS

Methods and systems of collecting carbon dioxide are disclosed. In one example, a method includes removing water from atmospheric air with a condenser and a desiccant material to produce dry air, adsorbing carbon dioxide to a material from the dry air, releasing the adsorbed carbon dioxide to a vacuum chamber, and transitioning the released carbon dioxide from a gas to a solid in the vacuum chamber. 1. A method of collecting carbon dioxide , said method comprising:removing water from atmospheric air with a condenser and a desiccant material to produce dry air;adsorbing carbon dioxide to a material from the dry air;releasing the adsorbed carbon dioxide to a vacuum chamber; andtransitioning the released carbon dioxide from a gas to a solid in the vacuum chamber.2. A method in accordance with claim 1 , wherein said removing water from atmospheric air comprises removing water from atmospheric air by forcing a flow of atmospheric air through the condenser and a desiccant chamber containing the desiccant material to produce dry air.3. A method in accordance with claim 1 , wherein said adsorbing carbon dioxide comprises directing the dry air through a molecular sieve material in a chamber.4. A method in accordance with claim 3 , wherein said releasing the adsorbed carbon dioxide comprises substantially sealing the chamber and creating a vacuum within the chamber sufficient to cause the molecular sieve material to release the adsorbed carbon dioxide to the vacuum chamber.5. A method in accordance with claim 1 , wherein said transitioning the released carbon dioxide comprises cooling a surface within the vacuum chamber to a temperature low enough to cause the released carbon dioxide in the vacuum chamber to solidify on the surface.6. A method in accordance with claim 5 , further comprising transitioning the carbon dioxide in the vacuum chamber from a solid to a gas for collection by substantially sealing the vacuum chamber claim 5 , terminating cooling of the surface claim 5 ...
