Adsorbent materials for the separation and purification of carbon dioxide

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. -
