Designing Carbon‐Based Porous Materials for Carbon Dioxide Capture

“…The conventional amine absorption process (CAAP), first used by Econamine FGSM (EFG), a Fluor proprietary used 30 wt% MEA and performs well at low SO 2 (<10 ppmw) and NOx (<20 ppmw) to limit solvent degradation. [ 60 ] However, it suffers from high energy consumption of 3.6 GJ/metric t – 4 GJ/metric t of CO 2 capture, which leads to high operating costs. Additionally, the tall absorption and desorption towers introduce additional costs associated with the process.…”

Selective CO2/CH4 Separation by Fixed-Bed Technology Using Encapsulated Ionic Liquids

“…Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) capture is a beneficial technology for the worldwide decarbonization due to its effectiveness and relatively low cost. , CO 2 capture technology is broadly used to remove CO 2 compounds from industrial plants. , Nowadays, the CO 2 separation from natural gas and biogas streams to enhance the quality of the methane (CH 4 ) product , is essential to guarantee its safety, transportation, and growing utilization. − In this respect, numerous CO 2 capture approaches have been proposed . Technologies based on amine scrubbing work effectively for CO 2 chemical capture through the formation of organic compounds, as carbamate and carbonate, , but they can cause serious solvent losses, corrosion problems, and a regeneration stage with a high energy demand . In this sense, a promising alternative thoroughly investigated is ionic liquids (ILs), using them as potential CO 2 absorbents since they present favorable properties like high uptake capacity, negligible vapor pressure, wide liquid temperature range, and tunable solvent behavior. , Two alternative types of ILs attending to the CO 2 absorption are being studied .…”
