Separation of CO2/N2 onto Shaped MOF MIL-160(Al) Using the Pressure Swing Adsorption Process for Post-combustion Application

“…Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions related to anthropogenic activities have been linked to global warming and climate change. , The main CO 2 sources include the flue gas as a postcombustion source as well as biogas, natural gas, and syngas as precombustion processes. , Through the postcombustion sources, steel, cement, and petrochemical industries are considered the main ones. , According to the NASA report, − over the last century, global temperature has increased around 0.7 °C, which is almost 10 times faster than the average global warming since the Ice Age. , Furthermore, carbon dioxide emission has been enhanced with a rate of about 250 times faster in the mentioned period. , However, by the current rate, the concentration of carbon dioxide has a potential to reach around 570 ppm in the atmosphere by the end of the 21st century. , Accordingly, carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a vital approach in reducing carbon emissions and attaining the world net zero target. , Major attempts have been made to deploying highly efficacious technology (in terms of engineering prospects) or discovering novel sorbents (in terms of material science) for greenhouse gas (GHG) capturing. − In this way, different technologies have emerged for CO 2 capture and separation, in which chemical absorption, membrane, cryogenic distillation, and adsorption are among the most conventional ones, − A detailed description and comparison of these technologies can be found in the work by Karimi et al However, the adsorption technology using solid sorbents received a remarkable consideration based on its efficiency, operating continuously, and being eco-friendly, , while about efficient sorbents operate at different temperatures with proper service life and ease of regeneration requires more scrambles. More information concerning different configurations of adsorption-based reactors for CO 2 capture can be found in a study by Dhoke et al…”
