a more detailed description is provided below fig1 is a schematic diagram of a preferred embodiment of the present invention a first reservoir or u201c absorber u201d 100 stores a strong solution 195 of an absorbent such as alcohol and carbon dioxide at low temperature such as 100 u00b0 f and a low pressure of 560 psi numerical values are provided for illustrative purposes only and the invention is not limited a particular temperature or pressure discussed herein the solution 195 is u201c strong u201d in that there is a higher concentration of the carbon dioxide dissolved in the alcohol as compared with a second reservoir of a u201c weak u201d solution to be discussed below the strong solution 195 of alcohol and carbon dioxide is directed through conduit 105 to a pump 110 that elevates the pressure of the solution to approximately 1400 psi the now high pressure solution is passed via conduit 115 through a heat exchanger 120 to increase the temperature in the solution to approximately 275 u00b0 f this high temperature solution is directed by conduit 125 to a second reservoir or u201c generator u201d 130 in order to extract the carbon dioxide from the solution from the high temperature high pressure solution 135 carbon dioxide gas 140 is boiled off or desorbed at the high temperature and pressure condition 250 u00b0 f and 1400 psi and directed through conduit 145 the weak alcohol solution 135 remaining after the quantity of carbon dioxide gas has been bled off is passed through an expansion valve 190 to reduce the pressure of the.
