Vapor Liquid Equilibrium of Aqueous Diethanolamine Solution for Carbon Dioxide Capture Processes

Encapsulated liquid sorbents for carbon dioxide capture.

Drawbacks of current carbon dioxide capture methods include corrosivity, evaporative losses and fouling. Separating the capture solvent from infrastructure and effluent gases via microencapsulation provides possible solutions to these issues. Here we report carbon capture materials that may enable low-cost and energy-efficient capture of carbon dioxide from flue gas. Polymer microcapsules compo...

Molecular model for carbon dioxide optimized to vapor-liquid equilibria.

A molecular model for carbon dioxide is presented, and the parameters of the Lennard-Jones sites, the bond length, and the quadrupole moment are optimized to experimental vapor-liquid equilibrium data. The resulting molecular model shows mean unsigned deviations to the experiment over the whole temperature range from triple point to critical point of 0.4% in saturated liquid density, 1.8% in va...

Materials and Processes for Carbon Dioxide Capture and Utilisation

Materials and processes for CO2 capture and utilisation are an essential part of a holistic approach toward a sustainable energy future. CO2 and energy are tightly intertwined as energy produced from fossil fuel combustion always generates CO2. A major environmental concern, CO2 could also become an invaluable resource for making carbon-based materials and chemicals, and a means to store energy...

Modeling the Vapor – Liquid Equilibrium and Association of Nitrogen Dioxide / Dinitrogen Tetroxide and Its Mixtures with Carbon Dioxide

Liquid - Vapor Equilibrium/Distillation

Background The volatility of a compound is its ability to change into a vapor, or to evaporate at a particular temperature and pressure. The normal boiling point of a liquid usually allows comparison of its volatility to other materials, with lower boiling points indicating greater volatility, but this may be affected somewhat by the presence of other materials. Comparison of the concentration ...
