Article Synopsis
- - The text discusses direct air capture (DAC) technologies, which aim to lower atmospheric CO2 levels to combat climate change while also providing carbon as a resource without relying on fossil fuels.
- - It highlights the high energy requirements and costs associated with DAC processes, and evaluates the long-term energy demand and levelized cost of capture (LCOC) for both liquid solvent absorption and solid adsorption methods.
- - The work compares electrochemical to nonelectrochemical DAC methods and estimates the necessary conditions and capital expenditures to make electrochemical processes more efficient and economically viable.
Article Synopsis
- Upgrading biogas to biomethane is important for utilizing renewable fuels from biomass waste, and this study investigates the efficiency of coconut-shell activated carbon (CAC 8X30) for this process through Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA).
- The research involved characterizing the adsorbent and estimating adsorption parameters for methane (CH), carbon monoxide (CO), and water (HO), comparing CAC 8X30 with zeolite 13X under different conditions.
- Results showed CAC 8X30 had significant micropore volume and demonstrated better selectivity for CO over CH in humid conditions, suggesting a potential combined use with zeolite 13X for effective biogas upgrading.
