Recent developments on carbon capture and storage: An overview

Dynamic simulation of MEA absorption process for CO2 capture from power plants

“…Due to its long period of lifetime, metallic membrane can be potentially be used in integrated gas combined cycle (IGCC) power plant with pre-combustion CO 2 capture (Carapellucci and Milazzo, 2003). The application of membrane gas separation for postcombustion process requires a large membrane areas combined with high energy consumption rates which increases the cost of this capture technology (Pires et al, 2011).…”

“…This process is energy intensive because it requires large amount of energy for the refrigeration and would result in large efficiency reductions when applied for CO 2 capture from flue gas (Pires et al, 2011). Cryogenic separation is economic for streams having high concentration of CO 2 such as pre-combustion and oxy-fuel combustion process.…”

“…Studies that reviews and discuss in detailed the CO 2 capture technologies are currently available (IPCC, 2005;Steeneveldt et al, 2006;Yang et al, 2008;Rackley, 2010;Abass, 2010;Pires et al, 2011).…”

Energy and Economic Analysis of a New Low-Temperature Distillation Process for the Upgrading of High-CO2 Content Natural Gas Streams

“…Low-temperature processes are preferred to traditional chemical or physical absorption for gas purification 4 when the carbon dioxide concentration in natural gas streams is high. Examples of applications of low temperature gas purification processes applied to the natural gas industry are the CFZ process, 5−10 the Ryan-Holmes process, 11−13 the antisublimation process, 14 and recently, a new process based on dual pressure distillation.…”

Optimization of Process Parameters for CO2 Fixation from Bicarbonate Source by a Microalgae

“…In order to overcome and effectively manage CO 2 emissions, various strategies have been adopted in power plants such as chemical absorption by using monoethanolamine (Pires et al, 2011), adsorption by activated carbon, sodium carbonate, zeolite (Wang et al, 2011), CO 2 as compressed gas (Metz, 2005), geological storage (Riemer, 1996), ocean storage (Stewart and Hessami, 2005), cryogenic liquefaction (Chiu et al, 2011), adsorption by molecular sieve and desiccant absorption (Jeong et al, 2003). However, some of the above processes have considerable effects on the environment (such as geological storage, ocean storage) and also the production, transportation and storage process (such as compressed gas, cryogenic liquefaction and chemical absorption) are not cost effective.…”
