• Two separations are necessary to enable the post-combustion capture of CO2.
  The fraction of CO2 in a flue gas stream must first be separated from the diluents
  present and then the concentrated stream of CO2 must be thoroughly dried in
  order for it to be compressed for sequestration. This work characterized the first
  non-porous, amine grafted nano-titanate adsorbents and probed their
  characteristics for CO2 removal from flue gas. This work also established the
  adsorbent, instrumentation, and process considerations prerequisite to
  developing an adsorptive CO2 drying process.
