separation and capture of carbon dioxide from the flue gas of power plants in order to reduceenvironmental damages has always been of interest to researchers. in this study, aqueous solution ofmethylamine was used as an absorbent for co2 capture. in order to study this reaction, densityfunctional theory (dft) was employed at the level of b3lyp/6-311++g(d,p) by using theconductor-like polarizabl...

Absorption determined by mass transfer in the liquid is described well with the Graetz-L&&que equation adapted from heat transfer. The influence of a chemical reaction on the mass transfer was simulated with a numerical model and tested on the absorption of CO2 in a hydroxide solution. Absorption determined by mass transfer in the gas phase and the pores of the membrane was also analysed experi...

This article reviews the progress made in CO2 separation and capture research and engineering. Various technologies, such as absorption, adsorption, and membrane separation, are thoroughly discussed. New concepts such as chemical-looping combustion and hydrate-based separation are also introduced briefly. Future directions are suggested. Sequestration methods, such as forestation, ocean fertili...

At room temperature, CO2 is transparent in the ultraviolet (UV) at wavelengths longer than 205 nm; however, at temperatures above 1000 K the CO2 absorption cross-section becomes significant in the region between 200 and 320 nm. Because CO2 is a major product of hydrocarbon combustion and because both the magnitude of the absorption cross-section and the shape of the UV absorption spectrum vary ...

Reducing CO2 in the atmosphere and preventing its release from point-source emitters, such as coal and natural gas-fired power plants, is a global challenge measured in gigatons. Capturing CO2 at this scale will require a portfolio of gas-separation technologies to be applied over a range of applications in which the gas mixtures and operating conditions will vary. Chemical scrubbing using abso...

This study reports a preparation method of a new moisture swing sorbent for CO2 capture from air. The new sorbent components include ion exchange resin (IER) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) as a binder. The IER can absorb CO2 when surrounding is dry and release CO2 when surrounding is wet. The manuscript presents the studies of membrane structure, kinetic model of absorption process, performance o...

Absorption coefficients of the carbon dioxide (CO2) were measured at atmospheric pressure and room temperature by photoacoustic technique with a cw, line-tunable, frequency stabilized CO2 laser. The CO2 laser spectrum of our system consists in 53 lines with wavelengths ranging from 9.2 μm to 10.8 μm and power levels below 5 W. Measured values of the CO2 absorption coefficients are typically of ...
