1. A method for separating compounds comprising the steps of:
passing a feed stream into a chamber, the feed stream including a feed stream liquid and solid oxides, the solid oxides comprising carbon dioxide and sulfur oxides;
heating and melting the solid sulfur oxides in the chamber so that liquid sulfur oxides are formed;
passing the feed stream liquid and the liquid sulfur oxides through a filter medium to filter the feed stream liquid and liquid sulfur oxides from the solid oxides of the feed stream, resulting in a filtered liquid;
passing the filtered liquid into a settling chamber containing flow-slowing screens; and
gravity-separating the filtered liquid in the settling chamber, wherein the filtered liquid separates into a denser liquid and a less dense liquid.
