Post-combustion carbon capture mediated by carbonic anhydrase

Enzyme-catalyzed Solvents for CO2 Separation

“…21 These works were followed by a growing number of peer-reviewed and patent publications to the point that informative reviews on the topic of enzyme-based carbon dioxide capture are now available, including, Russo et al, 22 Pierre,23 González and Fisher, 24 Dilmore, 25 Lacroix, 26 Savile and Lalonde, 27 and Yong et al 28 In essence, the idea behind applying enzymes in this field is to help overcome challenges long associated with industrial gas processing, 29e31 primarily aimed at improving energy efficiency and reducing environmental impact. 21 These works were followed by a growing number of peer-reviewed and patent publications to the point that informative reviews on the topic of enzyme-based carbon dioxide capture are now available, including, Russo et al, 22 Pierre,23 González and Fisher, 24 Dilmore, 25 Lacroix, 26 Savile and Lalonde, 27 and Yong et al 28 In essence, the idea behind applying enzymes in this field is to help overcome challenges long associated with industrial gas processing, 29e31 primarily aimed at improving energy efficiency and reducing environmental impact.…”

The salt-based catalytic enhancement of CO2 absorption by a tertiary amine medium

“…The CO 2 absorption heats and the absorption capacities of MDEA and the amine nitrate salts (1)(2)(3)(4) were determined from DRC data (the DRC was manufactured by Setaram). The DRC apparatus consisted of two mechanically agitated glass reactors (250 cm 3 ).…”

“…[1][2] To minimize the undesirable effects of climate change and the greenhouse effect, many techniques for controlling CO 2 emissions into the atmosphere have been developed. [3][4][5][6][7] There are four major CO 2 capture technologies available to industry: pre-combustion, post-combustion, oxy-fuel combustion, and electrochemical separation. [8][9] Post-combustion capture is commonly utilized and is considered the most effective industrial CO 2 capture process.…”

Carbon dioxide capture usingEscherichia coliexpressing carbonic anhydrase in a foam bioreactor

“…[17][18][19] This approach eliminates media regeneration and corrosion issues, while producing an environmentally safe and water-soluble product at ambient conditions without any energy-consuming steps. Bicarbonate, the product from the hydration of CO 2 by CA, can also be harvested as calcium carbonate after reacting with calcium, which can be used in a variety of industrial applications such as fillers for papermaking, coatings, plastics, as well as agricultural applications including odor and pathogen control of animal wastes.…”
