Increasing concerns on global warming and climate change have led to numerous attempts and advanced technology developments to tackle the problem of excessive greenhouse gases emitted to the atmosphere. One of the technical strategies receiving great attention is the application of membrane technology for greenhouse gas separation/capture. Such technology exhibits significant advantages over other conventional methods in terms of removal efficiency, compactness, and environmental friendliness. Many state-of-the-art membrane developments as well as its applications to post-combustion treatment, which could be a promising approach for reducing CO 2 emission from point sources, are thoroughly reviewed. Furthermore, a comprehensive survey on the future perspective of membrane technologies as a potential solution for CO 2 removal and utilization is provided.
An increase in global consumption has led to an exponential increase in industrial production activities which inevitably results in overwhelming remain of industrial waste. Consequently it has driven increasing attentions of research and development teams in various countries to propose and investigate novel methodologies to utilize such industrial waste. Instead of using as alternative energy sources, usage of industrial waste for production of carbonaceous nanomaterials has been examined via various routes, such as catalytic pyrolysis, hydrothermal treatment and so on. Meanwhile, for sustainable and secure continuity of the carbonaceous nanomaterial production, broad spectra of promising applications have also been examined. Among those emerging applications, utilization of carbonaceous nanomaterials in pollution control and prevention has been focused worldwide. Therefore, in this review, relevant research works focusing on catalytic pyrolysis of carbonaceous industrial waste for carbonaceous nanomaterial production were comprehensively analyzed and summarized. In addition, promising applications involving with antibiotic removal, spilled oil handling and pollutant gas detection were also reviewed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
