Post combustion carbon capture from coal fired plants: solid sorbents and membranes

1st April 2009

Topic(s): Carbon capture use and storage (CCUS), CO2 capture

This report will begin with mesoporous and microporous adsorbents in which CO2 adsorption is simply a physical process controlled by the pore characteristics of the sorbent. The addition of chemical functionality such as amine groups has been studied as a means of improving the performance of porous adsorbents so this will be discussed in the following chapter. The next chapter will examine regenerable solid sorbents, mostly involving a chemical cycle of calcination/carbonation reactions to capture the CO2 and then release it as a pure gas while regenerating the sorbent. A chapter on membranes will follow. The final chapters will provide a brief discussion on techno-economic studies followed by some comments and conclusions.
