“…This trend was found to be consistent with a previously reported study by Denayer and co-workers. 11 Initially, the heating from the induction was approximate to that of the conventional at a rate of 3.2, 5.7, and 14.2 °C/min for the 10, 15, and 20 wt % composites, respectively, but later, it took much longer for the materials to reach a maximum temperature under the induction heating. The lower heating rate in the 10 and 15 wt % monoliths can be attributed to lower loading of the Fe 2 O 3 particles, which reduced sufficient contact with the zeolite 13X particles for efficient heat conduction, thereby causing the decrease in heating rate.…”

“…The main technologies considered for biogas upgrading include absorption via amine scrubbing and pressurized water scrubbing, adsorption via pressure swing adsorption (PSA), and membrane via gas permeation. 8−10 Adsorption-based separation has the potential to adopt nonthermal practices for regeneration of sorbents such as electric swing adsorption (ESA), 9 magnetic induction swing adsorption (MISA), 11,12 or microwave swing adsorption (MSA). 13 In particular, magnetic responsiveness is a valuable characteristic that can be exploited to address the problem of high-energy requirements of separation processes, as magnetic fieldinduced heating can be used for desorption, with the heat generated homogeneously through the material due to localized nanoheaters, and thus is preferred for the adsorbents with low thermal conductivity where the heating time can be greatly reduced.…”

“…Although the development of stimulus-responsive sorbents is a promising research field for adsorptive separation, the current studies are still in their infancy stage. 11,14,15 A few previous works demonstrated the quick release of adsorbed CO 2 through rapid internal temperature increase in magnetic sorbents consisting of MgFe 2 O 4 particles, incorporated in metal−organic frameworks (MOFs), such as UiO-66 and Mg-MOF-74. 16−19 Gholami et al 11 reported one order of magnitude faster desorption rate at high coil currents for extrudates of composite sorbents containing 13X zeolite and Fe 3 O 4 than under conventional heating.…”

“…Although zeolite 13X is a benchmark sorbent for CO 2 capture with high working capacity and selectivity in most cases, it is not ferromagnetic, which makes it unsuitable for MISA applications. − A viable solution to address this drawback is to mix it with ferromagnetic particles such as Fe 2 O 3 or Fe 3 O 4 that can act as nanoheaters upon exposure to an external magnetic field to enhance the overall heat flow, thereby generating local heat and regenerating the sorbent. , On the other hand, assessing the effectiveness of the sorbent materials at the lab scale in the form factors suitable for industrial applications is required to bridge the gap between the laboratory research and large-scale implementation. Although extrusion is the current method of fabricating monolithic structures, recent studies have shown that additive manufacturing offers an alternative formulation method, which enables fabrication of complex geometries with desired configurations and unique mechanical and structural properties …”

Magnetic induction has emerged as an attractive method for regenerating adsorbents during separation processes. In this work, we investigated the applicability of magnetic composite sorbents comprising Fe 2 O 3 and zeolite 13X in biogas upgrading via a magnetic induction process. The sorbent materials with 10, 15, and 20 wt % Fe 2 O 3 content were formulated into monolithic contactors via additive manufacturing and their physiochemical and magnetic properties were assessed accordingly. The effects of Fe 2 O 3 particle size, magnetic field intensity, and monolith composition and configuration on CO 2 and CH 4 desorption rates as well as heating and cooling rates were systematically investigated. Our results indicated that 5 μm-size Fe 2 O 3 with a loading of 20 wt % in the composite is the best performing material exhibiting heating, cooling, and desorption rates of 6.56 °C/min, 3.84 °C/min, and 0.25 mmol CO 2 /g min, respectively. It was also found that the layer-bylayer printing approach outperforms the homogenously mixed method in formulating magnetic monoliths by exhibiting heating, cooling, and desorption rates of 7.78 °C/min, 4.89 °C/min, and 0.376 mmol CO 2 /g min, respectively. Lastly, the advantage of induction heating over traditional heating in quickly regenerating the adsorbent was demonstrated. This work highlights the suitability of the induction heating method in upgrading biogas as a renewable source of energy.

Direct air capture using solid adsorbents is a proven technology critical to reducing our net greenhouse gas emissions to zero and beyond. Currently, academic research into the technology mainly focuses on the development of new adsorbents. However, there is a discord between the adsorbent design and process performance. Many materials scientists focus on maximising metrics such as the CO2 capacity of their adsorbent. Here, we combine detailed process modelling, machine learning, and extensive global sensitivity analysis, which entails varying all of the model parameters together, on a direct air capture process to show that the CO2 adsorption capacity is not one of the critical parameters for an amine-functionalised adsorbent operating in a temperature vacuum swing adsorption (TVSA) process, while it is important in a steam-assisted TVSA (S-TVSA) process. In fact, adsorption kinetics, density, and thermal conductivity are all critical attributes to obtaining a low energy penalty and reduced costs. The analysis also highlights the importance of heat transfer, directing process engineers to (alternative) adsorber designs that maximise this. By an in-depth evaluation of how process performance indicators are affected by materials properties and process operating parameters, this work provides guidance to both material scientists and process engineers towards the design of a "unicorn adsorbent" and intensified DAC processes. This will improve the performance of solid adsorbent direct air capture and help drive down the costs of this vital technology to avert the worst impacts of climate change.

Structured adsorbents have gained significant importance in gas separation applications due to their ability to fine‐tune mass and heat transfer and lower pressure drop across the bed. This study presents a ferromagnetic compressible hybrid structured adsorbent, allowing regeneration via magnetic induction heating. A compressible melamine sponge is coated with the CO2‐selective Ni‐MOF‐74 adsorbent and Fe3O4 as a ferromagnetic susceptor, capable of dissipating heat instantaneously in an alternating electromagnetic field. Taking advantage of these properties, the potential of rapid CO2 capture and thermal regeneration via magnetic induction swing adsorption is investigated. The successful incorporation of both ingredients on the melamine sponge is confirmed via SEM‐EDX and XRD analysis. Breakthrough experiments with a CO2/CH4‐mixture are performed. The selective property of Ni‐MOF‐74 toward CO2 is retained, with the composite showing a capacity of 1.89 mmol CO2/g. The compressible nature of the melamine sponge allowed for an improvement of 79% in the volumetric capacity of the adsorbent bed and a higher heating rate. In regard to regeneration, within 1 min of subjecting the structured composite to the alternating magnetic field, an efficient desorption (>90%) of CO2 is achieved. Overall, a ferromagnetic compressible hybrid structured adsorbent is presented for fast cyclic gas‐phase separation processes.
