MUMBAI, India, Feb. 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541124618 A) filed by Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Thiruvallur, Tamil Nadu, on Dec. 9, 2025, for 'molten salt electrolysis reactor system and apparatus for carbon sequestration.'
Inventor(s) include Saritha, Athiralal Mohanlal; and Chandrasekharakurup, Sarathchandran.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 13, under issue no. 07/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present disclosure provides a molten salt electrolysis reactor system (100) and apparatus (200) for carbon deposition and removal. The system (100) includes a cylindrical cathode (106) positioned within a crucible containing molten salt electrolyte, and a driving unit (116) operatively coupled to the cathode via a belt (118) or chain drive assembly (118). A control unit (114) activates the driving unit 116), causing controlled rotation of the cylindrical cathode (106). This periodic rotation ensures uniform carbon deposition and prevents excessive buildup on any single cathode section, thereby maintaining consistent electrochemical performance. The proposed reactor system (100) and apparatus (200) offer improved reliability, mechanical stability, and uniformity in electrochemical processes, making this suitable for continuous industrial applications in carbon management and electrochemical reduction processes."
