dc.descriptionThe 48th International Conference on Environmental Systems was held in Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA on 08 July 2018 through 12 July 2018.
dc.description.abstractCurrent oxygen recovery technology onboard the International Space Station only recovers approximately 50% of the oxygen from metabolic carbon dioxide, resulting in resupply mass in order to sustain life onboard. Future long duration manned missions will require maximum oxygen recovery in order to reduce resupply mass. Complete recovery of oxygen can be achieved through Bosch technology. The challenge with this technology is that the solid carbon produced during the process results in undesired catalyst resupply mass. Although there have been several approaches to solve this challenge, in order to totally eliminate the need for resupply only one potential process has been identified. This process is a fully regenerable Ionic Liquid (IL) based Bosch system that employs insitu resources. In 2016, efforts were made that proved the feasibility of an IL based Bosch system. ILs were used to electroplate iron onto a copper substrate and to regenerate the iron by extracting the iron from the copper substrate and product carbon. In 2017, efforts were initiated to scale the proposed technology. Here we report the results of those efforts as well as an IL based Bosch system concept and basic reactor design.en_US
