Carbon Dioxide Enrichment PEBAX/MOF Composite Membrane for CO2 Separation

Novel Ceramic Membrane for High Temperature Carbon Dioxide Separation

Pebax-Modified Cellulose Acetate Membrane for CO2/N2 Separation

Carbon dioxide (CO2) release from the exhaust gas streams of power plants that burn fossil fuels contributes the most emission of this gas, which includes more than half of the greenhouse effects. Thus, the separation of CO2 from exhaust gases is one of the main environmental concerns. Membrane technology, due to many advantages, has attracted many research attentions among the various gas sepa...

Separation and Fixation of Carbon Dioxide Using Polymeric Membrane Contactor

Polypropylene hollow fiber membrane (PPHFM) contactor, with aqueous solution absorbent such as sodium hydroxide (NaOH), monoethanolamine (MEA) and diethanolamine (DEA), was designed and used to separate and fix CO2 from CO2/N2 gas mixtures. The factors that influence the separation properties of CO2/N2 were investigated. It was found that the CO2 removal efficiency is the best by using MEA solu...

Carbon dioxide separation with a two-dimensional polymer membrane.

Carbon dioxide gas separation is important for many environmental and energy applications. Molecular dynamics simulations are used to characterize a two-dimensional hydrocarbon polymer, PG-ES1, that uses a combination of surface adsorption and narrow pores to separate carbon dioxide from nitrogen, oxygen, and methane gases. The CO2 permeance is 3 × 10(5) gas permeation units (GPU). The CO2/N2 s...

Biological Effects of Carbon Dioxide Enrichment

Increased CO2 concentrations can also “fertilize” plants by stimulating photosynthesis, which models suggest has contributed to increased vegetation cover and leaf area over the 20 century (Cramer et al., 2001). Increases in the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, a remote sensing product indicative of leaf area, biomass and potential photosynthesis, have been observed (Zhou et al., 2001), ...
