1. A method of sequestering a gas the method comprising:
- (i) providing a solution comprising at least one gas absorber that is capable of absorbing a gas, the gas absorber comprising nitrogen;
(ii) contacting the solution with the gas to promote an absorption of the gas by the at least one gas absorber to produce at least a first reactant, which is then present in solution;
(iii) providing a solid comprising at least a second reactant; and
(iv) allowing the solution comprising the at least first reactant to contact a portion of the solid to promote a reaction between the at least first reactant and the at least second reactant to provide at least a first product.

Abstract
A method of sequestering a multi-element gas emitted by an industrial plant is described herein, the method comprising: contacting a solution, including a first reactant comprising a multi-element gas emitted by an industrial plant and at least one gas absorber comprising nitrogen, for example ammonia or an amine, with a solid, including a second reactant, under conditions that promote a reaction between the first reactant and the second reactant to provide a first product, which incorporates one or more elements of the multi-element gas, thereby sequestering the multi-element gas.

14. A method of sequestering a greenhouse gas or a flue gas, the method comprising:
-
(i) providing a first solution comprising at least one gas absorber capable of forming an adduct with a greenhouse gas or a flue gas that comprises two or more elements, the gas absorber comprising nitrogen; (ii) contacting the first solution with the greenhouse gas or flue gas to promote the formation of an adduct comprising the at least one gas absorber and the greenhouse gas or flue gas, which adduct is then present in solution; (iii) providing a porous solid comprising at least one reactant; and (iv) allowing the solution comprising the adduct to contact the solid to promote a reaction in which the greenhouse gas or flue gas of the adduct reacts with the reactant of the solid to provide at least a first product. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18)
