“…CA is a diffusion‐limited enzyme that catalyzes the hydration of CO 2 , which is the rate‐limiting step of HCO 3 − formation from CO 2 , with a k cat of up to 4.4 × 10 6 s −1 (Vullo et al, ). By accelerating CO 2 conversion into HCO 3 − , CA can potentially reduce reaction time and energy requirement and improve the overall efficiency for CCUS processes based on mineral carbonation, electrochemical CO 2 reduction, and CO 2 absorption, all of which rely on the supply of HCO 3 − (Penders‐van Elk et al, ; Power et al, ; Qi et al, ; Srikanth et al, ).…”

“…The recently discovered halotolerant CA ( hm CA) from the marine bacterium Hydrogenovibrio marinus showed excellent activity and stability (Jo, Im, & Cha, ), making this enzyme an attractive candidate for biomimetic CCUS that generally operates under high‐salt (or electrolyte) conditions and often encounters flue gas impurities (Power et al, ; Qi et al, ; Savile & Lalonde, ; Srikanth et al, ). In addition, hm CA was highly produced in E. coli with excellent solubility conferred by its N‐terminal extension, which is advantageous for the construction of a bacterial whole‐cell catalytic system.…”

Carbonic anhydrase (CA) is a diffusion‐limited enzyme that rapidly catalyzes the hydration of carbon dioxide (CO2). CA has been proposed as an eco‐friendly yet powerful catalyst for CO2 capture and utilization. A bacterial whole‐cell biocatalyst equipped with periplasmic CA provides an option for a cost‐effective CO2‐capturing system. However, further utilization of the previously constructed periplasmic system has been limited by its relatively low activity and stability. Herein, we engineered three genetic components of the periplasmic system for the construction of a highly efficient whole‐cell catalyst: a CA‐coding gene, a signal sequence, and a ribosome‐binding site (RBS). A stable and halotolerant CA (hmCA) from the marine bacterium Hydrogenovibrio marinus was employed to improve both the activity and stability of the system. The improved secretion and folding of hmCA and increased membrane permeability were achieved by translocation via the Sec‐dependent pathway. The engineering of RBS strength further enhanced whole‐cell activity by improving both the secretion and folding of hmCA. The newly engineered biocatalyst displayed 5.7‐fold higher activity and 780‐fold higher stability at 60°C compared with those of the previously constructed periplasmic system, providing new opportunities for applications in CO2 capture and utilization.

“…Integration of a dewatering membrane must be balanced with the overall cost of the system where a higher flux membrane will decrease the capital cost of the membrane component. Due to the nature of the process (decoupling of absorption and desorption active solvent concentrations), the benefits can be broadly applicable to other capture systems where trade‐offs exist between mass transfer limitations in the absorber and exorbitant energy regeneration requirements in the stripper 5,11,12 …”

In amine-based CO 2 capture processes, aqueous amine solvent is circulated between absorber (CO 2 absorption) and stripping (solvent regeneration) columns. To reduce solvent regeneration energy demand, a selective membrane can dewater and enrich the CO 2 concentration in solution prior to the stripper, lowering steam requirements for solution heating. In this work, a facile synthesis strategy was developed to prepare faujasite (FAU) zeolite membranes built upon polydopamine (PDA) modified α-Al 2 O 3 substrates. PDA facilitated the attachment of zeolite phases onto the substrate surface to form a 3 μm membrane layer. Membrane permeation flux of 4.45 kg m −2 h −1 and 95% rejection rate calculated by either CO 2 loading or total alkalinity was achieved in dewatering of CO 2 loaded 30 wt% monoethanolamine (MEA) solution. The effects of temperature on membrane dewatering performance and stability were investigated. This study highlights the potential for process integration of membrane technology in amine-based post-combustion CO 2 capture operations.

This paper provides an industrial-scale technical assessment of absorption of CO 2 in water to react into bicarbonate (HCO 3 − ), with the goal of storing HCO 3 − in the oceans as a carbon sequestration technology. A potential advantage of the process is that it will not require a CO 2 transport and storage infrastructure that will be expensive for small-scale and remote emission sources. Process simulations are utilized to estimate absorber column length and for mass flow estimations of water and base required for a target capture rate of 90%. The results indicate that the process is technically feasible under specific conditions, with pH regulation being highly important, although the demand for base represents a limiting factor. Yet, a potential niche for the process is CO 2 capture at smaller plants emitting small amounts of CO 2 .
