1. A method of sequestering a multi-element gas comprising:
- (i) providing a first solution comprising at least one gas absorber, the gas absorber comprises nitrogen and, in combination with a multi-element gas, is capable of forming an adduct;
(ii) contacting the first solution with the multi-element gas to promote the formation of the adduct, the adduct comprising the at least one gas absorber and the multi-element gas, which adduct is then present in solution;
(iii) providing a reactant comprising at least one element;
(iv) allowing the first solution comprising the adduct to contact the reactant under conditions that promote a reaction, wherein the multi-element gas in the adduct reacts with the reactant to form at least a first product and a second product in the solution, wherein the first product comprises at least one element of the multi-element gas, and wherein the second product comprises at least one element of the at least one gas absorber and at least one element of the reactant.

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.

- 33. A ceramic produced by a greenhouse gas or flue gas sequestering process, which process comprises reacting at least one component of a porous matrix with an adduct comprising a greenhouse or a flue gas and at least one gas absorber comprising an amine, which adduct is carried by an infiltrating medium to contact the at least one component of the porous matrix to provide at least a first product, thereby producing a ceramic.

42. A nitrogen-containing compound produced by a gas separating or gas sequestering process, or a combination thereof, which process comprises reacting at least one component of a solid matrix with at least a first reactant that comprises at least one greenhouse or flue gas and which is present in a nitrogen containing infiltrating medium to provide at least a first product and a second product in the solution, wherein the first product comprises at least one element of the at least one greenhouse or flue gas, and wherein the second product comprises at least one element of the solid matrix and at least one element of the reactant;
- and heating the second product in the presence of a catalyst to form a third product comprising at least one element of the second product, whereby the third product produced comprises a nitrogen-containing compound.
