Adsorption Performance Indicator for Power Plant CO2 Capture on Graphene Oxide/TiO2 Nanocomposite

The Outlook for Power Plant CO2 Capture

There is growing international interest in carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) technology to reduce carbon dioxide emissions linked to global climate change. CCS is especially attractive for electric power plants burning coal and other fossil fuels, which are a major source of global CO2 emissions. This paper describes the performance and cost of CO2 capture technologies for large-scale elec...

A computational investigation on the structural features of alkanolamine solvents for CO2 capture process from power plant flue gas

The Effects of Membrane-based CO2 Capture System on Pulverized Coal Power Plant Performance and Cost

Membrane systems are under development for cost-effective carbon dioxide (CO2) capture. This study is to investigate the effects of adding CO2-selective polymeric membrane systems to coal-fired power plants using newly developed performance and cost models. Sensitivity analysis is further carried out to explore the influences of key parameters and factors on the power plant and the membrane-bas...

Control Strtegies for Flexible Operation of Power Plant Integrated with Co2 Capture Plant

About 20% power output penalties will be incurred for implementing CO2 capture from power plant. This loss can be partially compensated by flexible operation of capture plant. However, daily large variations of liquid and gas flows may cause operation problems to packed columns. Control schemes were proposed to improve the flexibility of power output without causing substantial hydraulic distur...

Functionalized Polymeric Membranes for CO2 Capture

Reducing CO2 emission and lowering the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere has quickly become one of the most urgent environmental issues. While a variety of technologies and methods have been developed, the separation of CO2 from gas streams is still a critical issue. Apart from establishing new techniques, the exploration of membrane materials with high separation performance ...

Novel polycarbonate-graphene nanocomposite foams prepared by CO2 dissolution

Polycarbonate foams reinforced with 0,5 wt% of graphene were obtained by firstly melt-mixing the polycarbonate and graphene in an internal mixer, compression-moulding the melt-compounded grinded material and lastly dissolving CO2 inside a high pressure vessel. The CO2 desorption behaviour in the unfilled polycarbonate and nanocomposite was studied in terms of the CO2 saturation concentration an...
