Ionic Liquids: Potential Materials for Carbon Dioxide Capture and Utilization

Ionic Liquids for Carbon Dioxide capture: Absorbent Selection

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is one of the major contributors to the greenhouse effect. The power and industrial sectors combined account for about 60% of the global CO2 emissions [1]. CO2 capture and storage (CCS), which involves the processes of capture, transport and long-term storage of carbon dioxide, is a technology aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions from burning fossil fuels during indus...

Reaction of Sulfur Dioxide (so2) with Reversible Ionic Liquids (revils) for Carbon Dioxide (co2) Capture

Carbon dioxide capture: prospects for new materials.

The escalating level of atmospheric carbon dioxide is one of the most pressing environmental concerns of our age. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) from large point sources such as power plants is one option for reducing anthropogenic CO(2) emissions; however, currently the capture alone will increase the energy requirements of a plant by 25-40%. This Review highlights the challenges for capture...

Toward carbon dioxide capture using nanoporous materials*

The development of more efficient processes for CO2 capture from the flue streams of power plants is considered a key to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions implicated in global warming. Indeed, several U.S. and international climate change initiatives have identified the urgent need for improved materials and methods for CO2 capture. Conventional CO2 capture processes employed in power p...

Materials and Processes for Carbon Dioxide Capture and Utilisation

Materials and processes for CO2 capture and utilisation are an essential part of a holistic approach toward a sustainable energy future. CO2 and energy are tightly intertwined as energy produced from fossil fuel combustion always generates CO2. A major environmental concern, CO2 could also become an invaluable resource for making carbon-based materials and chemicals, and a means to store energy...
