Critical assessment of the performance of next-generation carbon-based adsorbents for CO capture focused on their structural properties.

Carbon dioxide emissions and their sharply rising effect on global warming have encouraged research efforts to develop efficient technologies and materials for CO capture. Post-combustion CO capture by adsorption using solid materials is considered an attractive technology to achieve this goal. Templated materials, such as Zeolite Templated-Carbons and MOF-Derived Carbons, are considered as the next-generation carbon adsorbent materials, owing to their outstanding textural properties (high surface areas of ca.

Activated carbons from biomass-based sources for CO capture applications.

In an ever-growing attempt to reduce the excessive anthropogenic CO emissions, several CO capture technologies have been developed in recent years. Adsorption using solid carbonaceous materials is one of the many promising examples of these technologies. Carbon-based materials, notably activated carbons, are considered very attractive adsorbents for this purpose given their exceptional thermal stability and excellent adsorption capacities.

Evaluation of handling and reuse approaches for the waste generated from MEA-based CO2 capture with the consideration of regulations in the UAE.

A waste slip-stream is generated from the reclaiming process of monoethanolamine (MEA) based Post-Combustion Capture (PCC). It mainly consists of MEA itself, ammonium, heat-stable salts (HSS), carbamate polymers, and water. In this study, the waste quantity and nature are characterized for Fluor's Econamine FGSM coal-fired CO2 capture base case.
