Carbon Capture from a Simulated Flue Gas Using a Rotating Packed Bed Adsorber and Mono Ethanol Amine (MEA)

Continuous Desalting of Proteins with a Simulated Moving-bed Adsorber

A simulated moving-bed adsorber (SMBA)consisting of only three or four columns packed with gel chromatographic materials was applied for the continuous desalting of bovine serum albumin (BSA) from ammoniumsulfate. It was shownexperimentally that the solutes could be continuously recovered in different streams at concentrations of over 50% of their feed concentrations. The recovery of BSAwas in ...

CO2 Removal from Air in a Countercurrent Rotating Packed Bed, Experimental Determination of Height of Transfer Unit

Carbon dioxide capture is a key issue in climate change mitigation. For decades the removal of carbon dioxide has been an essential step in many industrial processing operations such as the synthesis of ammonia, natural gas purification, and oil refining. In this study, a rotating packed bed has been designed for absorption of carbon dioxide from an air stream. The rotating packed bed is a comp...

Carbon Capture Using Amine-modified Carbon Nanotubes

The increasing rise in the rate of both anthropogenic CO2 emissions and atmospheric CO2 concentration, combined with an evolving understanding of what this means for global climate change both now, and in the future, has increased the need for novel technologies for CO2 capture from large point sources. Current industry standards involve the use of amine solvents, which have a large parasitic l...

Screening of metal-organic frameworks for carbon dioxide capture from flue gas using a combined experimental and modeling approach.

A diverse collection of 14 metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) was screened for CO(2) capture from flue gas using a combined experimental and modeling approach. Adsorption measurements are reported for the screened MOFs at room temperature up to 1 bar. These data are used to validate a generalized strategy for molecular modeling of CO(2) and other small molecules in MOFs. MOFs possessing a high den...
