Carbon capture from industrial processes

Performance of Mixed Matrix Membranes Containing Porous Two-Dimensional (2D) and Three-Dimensional (3D) Fillers for CO2 Separation: A Review

“…An wide scientific consensus is nowadays established in the international community over the anthropogenic climate change and global warming due to a drastic increase of atmospheric level of CO 2 [ 1 ]. Anthropogenic activities within transportation, energy supply from fossil fuels [ 2 ], and raw materials (e.g., cement, steel) production [ 3 ] have significantly contributed to increase in levels of CO 2 emissions over the last century, raising the CO 2 concentration in the atmosphere [ 4 ]. The primary strategy to mitigate CO 2 emission in the short term is carbon capture and sequestration (CCS), which mainly includes post-combustion (capture downstream to the combustion), oxy-fuel (purified O 2 used for the combustion), and pre-combustion (capture upstream to the combustion) processes [ 2 ].…”

Furthermore, CO 2 separation is relevant also for other applications, such as Natural Gas sweetening, where acid components in the presence of water can corrode pipelines and equipment, thus lowering the value of the natural gas [ 3 , 5 ]. Therefore, the development of efficient technologies to separate and capture CO 2 is of primary interest.…”
