reducing co2 emission and lowering the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere has quickly become one of the most urgent environmental issues. while a variety of technologies and methods have been developed, the separation of co2 from gas streams is still a critical issue. apart from establishing new techniques, the exploration of membrane materials with high separation performance ...

carbon capture and storage (ccs) systems have relevant energy consumption associated with the co2 capture process. it causes an energy efficiency reduction that diminishes the economic interests and increases the technical uncertainty of these systems. with the objective of improving the system perform-ance and reducing thermodynamic inefficiencies, the exergy analysis has been traditionally ap...

CO2 is the primary anthropogenic greenhouse gas, accounting for 77% of the human contribution to the greenhouse effect in 2004. In the recent years, global concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere is increasing rapidly. CO2 emissions have an impact on global climate change. Anthropogenic CO2 is emitted primarily from fossil fuel combustion. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is one option for reduc...

Carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted from conventional coal-based power plants is a growing concern for the environment. Chemical looping combustion (CLC), pre-combustion and oxy-fuel combustion are promising CO2 capture technologies which allow clean electricity generation from coal in an integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) power plant. This work compares the characteristics of the above thr...

Corrosion in CO2 Post-Combustion Capture with Alkanolamines – A Review — CO2 capture and storage plays an important part in industrial strategies for the mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions. CO2 post-combustion capture with alkanolamines is well adapted for the treatment of large industrial point sources using combustion of fossil fuels for power generation, like coal or gas fired power plan...

Increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHGs) such as CO2 in the atmosphere is a global warming. Human activities are a major cause of increased CO2 concentration in atmosphere, as in recent decade, two-third of greenhouse effect was caused by human activities. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a major strategy that can be used to reduce GHGs emission. There are three methods for CCS: ...

Membrane gas separation for carbon capture has traditionally been focused on high pressure applications, such as pre-combustion capture and natural gas sweetening. Recently a membrane-cryogenic combined process has been shown to be cost competitive for post-combustion capture from coal fired power stations. Here, the membrane-cryogenic combined process is investigated for application to post-co...

The combination of growing energy demand and environmental concerns has made the development of CO2 capture and storage technologies a necessity for the near-future energy mix. Post-combustion CO2 capture is one of the most mature technologies for reducing CO2 emissions in power plants. As a next step for the technology development, large-scale demonstration capture plants have to be implemente...

Increasing atmospheric levels of CO2, in large part due to anthropogenic combustion of energy yielding hydrocarbons, portends significant if not catastrophic weather related events. One strategy to stabilize atmospheric CO2 levels is to capture the post-combustion product for disposal or, preferably, commercial use. The latter case, in particular, requires the development of both effective and ...
