A Systematic Review of Amino Acid-Based Adsorbents for CO2 Capture

Abstract

The rise of carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in the atmosphere emphasises the need for improving the current carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology. A conventional absorption method that utilises amine-based solvent is known to cause corrosion to process equipment. The solvent is easily degraded and has high energy requirement for regeneration. Amino acids are suitable candidates to replace traditional alkanolamines attributed to their identical amino functional group. In addition, amino acid salt is a green material due to its extremely low toxicity, low volatility, less corrosive, and high efficiency to capture CO2. Previous studies have shown promising results in CO2 capture using amino acids salts solutions and amino acid ionic liquids. Currently, amino acid solvents are also utilised to enhance the adsorption capacity of solid sorbents. This systematic review is the first to summarise the currently available amino acid-based adsorbents for CO2 capture using PRISMA method. Physical and chemical properties of the adsorbents that contribute to effective CO2 capture are thoroughly discussed. A total of four categories of amino acid-based adsorbents are evaluated for their CO2 adsorption capacities. The regeneration studies are briefly discussed and several limitations associated with amino acid-based adsorbents for CO2 capture are presented before the conclusion.

CO2 Capture Performance of Na2CO3/γ-Al2O3 Sorbent Modified with Organic Acid

“…Based on the existing research, it is known that the sorbents modified with varying amounts of organic acids exhibit different properties. ,, In the study of calcium-based sorbents, it is common to use an excess of organic acids to react with the sorbent. , This work examines a sodium-based sorbent loaded with a porous alumina solid carrier. It differs from calcium-based sorbents; therefore, the quantity of organic acids (equivalence ratio) needs to be examined.…”

Mitigating indoor air pollution in UAE's high-rise apartment buildings: a study on eco-friendly materials and adsorbents

“…Adsorption is the process by which a solid material, called an adsorbent, physically or chemically captures solutes from gas or liquid phases (Mohamed Hatta et al, 2022). Adsorbents are classified into physical and chemical adsorption based on the mechanism of adsorption (Gunawardene et al, 2022).…”

Effect of choline amino acid ionic liquids on maize seed germination and endogenous plant hormone levels

“…8 In addition, amino acids exhibit amphoteric electrolyte behavior, i.e., they can function as either cations or anions during the synthesis of ILs. 9 Furthermore, the combination of choline and amino acids led to the formation of choline amino acid ([Chl][AA]) ILs, which demonstrated potential properties for applications in organic synthesis and biomass pretreatment. 10,11 In this regard, using a simple and relatively greener route, Hu et al synthesized [Choline][Pro] from choline chloride and (L)-proline, which served as an effective catalyst for direct aldol reactions between ketones and aromatic aldehydes in water at room temperature.…”
