In this work, the main aspects regarding the permeation of mixtures containing CO2 and permanent gases such as H2 , N2 and CH4 through zeolite membranes have been investigated, focusing on the description of the mass transport mechanisms taking place inside the pores. First, a brief overview about the performance of the main zeolite membranes used in gas separation (e.g. DDR, CHA, AEI, FAU, etc...

The microalga incorporated photobioreactor is a highly efficient biological system for converting CO2 into biomass. Using microalgal photobioreactor as CO2 mitigation system is a practical approach for elimination of waste gas from the CO2 emission. In this study, the marine microalga Chlorella sp. was cultured in a photobioreactor to assess biomass, lipid productivity and CO2 reduction. We als...

differential scanning calorimetry (dsc), temperature programmed desorption mass spectrometry (tpd-ms) and small angle neutron scattering (sans) were used to investigate co2 uptake by the wyodak coal. adsorption of carbon dioxide on wyodak coal was studied by dsc. the exotherms evident at low temperatures are associated with the uptake of co2 suggesting that carbon dioxide interacts strongly wit...

oxygen delignified kraft pulp from eucalyptus (e. urophylla × e. grandis) was catalytically pretreated in aerobic condition using ammonium persulfate in present of catalists like cupric acetate and/or cobalt acetate in acetic acid-water solution, i. e. s2o82--cu2+, s2o82--co2+ and s2o82--(cu2++co2+). final bleached pulp after pretreatment with the three catalytic systems showed higher delignifi...

Competitive hydrogen evolution and multiple proton-coupled electron transfer reactions limit photoelectrochemical CO2 reduction in aqueous electrolyte. Here, oxygen-terminated lightly boron-doped diamond (BDDL) thin films were synthesized as a semiconductor electron source to accelerate CO2 reduction. However, BDDL alone could not stabilize the intermediates of CO2 reduction, yielding a negligi...

Visible-light driven CO2 reduction is considered to be a sustainable energy source. However, earth-abundant molecular catalysts with high efficiency and robustness towards solar-driven CO2 reduction are limited. Herein, we report a cobalt complex supported by a tetradentate tripodal ligand, which demonstrates catalytic solar-driven CO2 reduction with TON(CO) > 900 over 70 h in the presence of a...

Understanding the activity and selectivity of molecular catalysts for CO2 reduction to fuels is an important scientific endeavour in addressing the growing global energy demand. Cobalt-terpyridine compounds have been shown to be catalysts for CO2 reduction to CO while simultaneously producing H2 from the requisite proton source. To investigate the parameters governing the competition for H+ red...

Geological carbon sequestration captures CO2 from industrial sources and stores the CO2 in subsurface reservoirs, a viable strategy for mitigating global climate change. In assessing the environmental impact of the strategy, a key question is how microbial reactions respond to the elevated CO2 concentration. This study uses biogeochemical modeling to explore the influence of CO2 on the thermody...
