Theoretical Synthesis of Mixed Materials for CO2 Capture Applications
Since the current technologies for capturing CO2 are still too energy intensive, to develop new materials that can capture CO2 reversibly with acceptable energy costs are needed. By combining thermodynamic database mining with first principles [...]
Pelletized silica and amine composites for CO2 capture via adsorption
Knowles G.P., Vogt C., Chaffee A.L., Cooperative Research Center for Greenhouse Gas Technologies, AU
Solid amine sorbent powders are of broad interest to facilitate CO2 capture towards reducing atmospheric greenhouse gas. It is recognized, however, that pelletized rather powdered adsorbents are required for industrial adsorption separation processes. “Molecular basket” [...]
Hollow Granules of Nitrogen/Boron co-doped Carbon for CO2 Capture
Carbide-derived carbon (CDC) has been examined due to its useful conformal character. However, its variety of chemical composition is limited because functionalized atoms in its carbonaceous structure, especially with nitrogen, are unstable during high-temperature processing. [...]
H2 purification with PVDF/GTA blended membranes
In this study, poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) and Glycerol Triacetate (GTA) have been selected as the main blending materials in order to fabricate membranes with a high separation ability for CO2/H2. GTA as a plasticizer possesses [...]
Gas-Assisted Gravity Drainage – A New Process for CO2 Sequestration and Enhanced Oil Recovery
The current commercial practice of gas-based enhanced oil recovery processes involves either continuous gas injection (CGI) or Water-Alternating-Gas (WAG) injection. Over 60 commercial projects in West Texas and other parts of the world have amply [...]
Global Gas Flaring -The Energy Waste with Serious Environmental Impacts: Case Study of Iran
Gas flaring in oil production and oil and gas refining is a major environmental issue with great energy and economic loss. In this paper the global gas flaring and its adverse environmental impacts have been [...]
