“…Some researchers have proposed the coupling of two kinds of technologies together for the capture of CO 2 , such as coupling of membrane separation and absorption or adsorption and reaction (Carley et al, 2012;Maslan, 1972;. Absorption separation technology includes both physical absorption, which depends mainly on temperature and pressure, and chemical absorption, which is dependent on an acid-base neutralization reaction (Lee et al, 2008;Lim et al, 2012;Mortazavi-Manesh et al, 2013;Rho et al, 1997;Wang et al, 2013). A new class of solvents for CO 2 capture is ionic liquids (ILs), which have exhibited great potential in the absorption of CO 2 and are environmentally benign due to their unique properties of negligible volatility, high thermal stability, strong solubility capacity, and tunability of molecular structures and physicochemical properties.…”
