Summary:

The recovery of oxygen from a concentrated stream of carbon dioxide (CO2) offers significant advantage to long duration manned space missions by reducing the requirement for consumables.TDA Research, Incorporated (TDA) is developing a chemical absorbent-based system to carry out CO2 removal and CO2 reduction for the Environmental Control and Life Support System (ECLSS) at the International Space Station (ISS). The system eliminates the interfacing problems associated with the currently operational CO2 Removal Assembly (CDRA) and planned CO2 Reduction Assembly (CRA). This paper discusses the development efforts of a regenerable absorbent that is suitable for our conceptual system recommended for future missions. We also tested the performance of a state-of-the-art catalyst for CO2 reduction to water and methane at the conditions of interest. We demonstrate the technical feasibility of carrying out CO2 removal and reduction
