“…In the case where the CO 2 is to be removed from a flue gas, either from power plants (coal or gas fired) or energy intensive industries (cement, steel, waste incinerators), the total pressure of the flue gas is often around 1 atm with 4–30 vol % CO 2 , the rest being N 2 , O 2 , H 2 O, and varying amounts (most often in the ppm range) of SO x , NO x , and other impurities depending on the combustion source and flue gas cleaning. Disregarding the sulfur- and nitrogen-containing impurities, there are several MOFs that show promising performance for removal of CO 2 at low partial pressures in the presence of water vapor: the CPO-27/MOF-74/M 2 (dobdc) (dobdc = 2,5-dioxidobenzene-1,4-dicarboxylate) family with either Mg or Ni as a metal component, UTSA-16, the SiFSIX family with either Cu or Zn as a metal component, and last, but not least, the Diamin-appended mmen-Mg 2 (dobpdc) (dobpdc = 4,4′-dioxidobiphenyl-3,3′-dicarboxylate) system, all showing high selectivity for CO 2 over N 2 , significant CO 2 capacity at around 10 kPa CO 2 pressure, and also reasonable stable cyclic performance in the presence of water vapor. − …”
