Abstract
The present paper deals with the complex study of CO2 capture from combined heat power plant flue gases using the efficient technological design of a membrane cascade type of «Continuous Membrane Column» for binary gas mixture separation. In contrast to well-known multi-step or multi-stage process designs, the cascade type of separation unit provides several advantages. Here, the separation process is implemented in it by creating two counter current flows. In one of them is depleted by the high-permeable component in a continuous mode, meanwhile the other one is enriched. Taking into account that the circulating flows rate overcomes the withdrawn one, there is a multiplicative increase in separation efficiency. A comprehensive study of CO2 capture using the membrane cascade type of «Continuous Membrane Column» includes the determination of the optimal membrane material characteristics, the sensitivity study of the process, and a feasibility evaluation. It was clearly demonstrated that the proposed process achieves efficient CO2 capture, which meets the modern requirements in terms of the CO2 content (≥95 mol.%), recovery rate (≥90%), and residual CO2 concentration (≤2 mol.%). Moreover, it was observed that it is possible to process CO2 with a purity of up to 99.8 mol.% at the same recovery rate. This enables the use of this specific process design in CO2 pretreatment operations for the production of high-purity carbon dioxide.

Abstract
With the rising level of atmospheric CO2 worsening climate change, a promising global movement toward carbon neutrality is forming. Sustainable CO2 management based on carbon capture and utilization (CCU) has garnered considerable interest due to its critical role in resolving emission-control and energy-supply challenges. Here, a comprehensive review is presented that summarizes the state-of-the-art progress in developing promising materials for sustainable CO2 management in terms of not only capture, catalytic conversion (thermochemistry, electrochemistry, photochemistry, and possible combinations), and direct utilization, but also emerging integrated capture and in situ conversion as well as artificial-intelligence-driven smart material study. In particular, insights that span multiple scopes of material research are offered, ranging from mechanistic comprehension of reactions, rational design and precise manipulation of key materials (e.g., carbon nanomaterials, metal-organic frameworks, covalent organic frameworks, zeolites, ionic liquids), to industrial implementation. This review concludes with a summary and new perspectives, especially from multiple aspects of society, which summarizes major difficulties and future potential for implementing advanced materials and technologies in sustainable CO2 management. This work may serve as a guideline and road map for developing CCU material systems, benefiting both scientists and engineers working in this growing and potentially game-changing area.

Techno-Economic Optimization of Multistage Membrane Processes with Innovative Hollow Fiber Modules for the Production of High-Purity CO 2 and CH 4 from Different Sources.

Abstract
![]()
Within the current
climate emergency framework and in order to
avoid the most severe consequences of global warming, membrane separation
processes have become critical for the implementation of carbon capture,
storage, and utilization technologies. Mixtures of CO2 and
CH4 are relevant energy resources, and the design of innovative
membranes specifically designed to improve their separation is a hot
topic. This work investigated the potential of modified polydimethylsiloxane
and ionic liquid–chitosan composite membranes for separation
of CO2 and CH4 mixtures from different sources,
such as biogas upgrading, natural gas sweetening, or CO2 enhanced oil recovery. The techno-economic optimization of multistage
processes at a real industrial scale was carried out, paying special
attention to the identification of the optimal configuration of the
hollow fiber modules and the selection of the best membrane scheme.
The results demonstrated that a high initial content of CH4 in the feed stream (like in the case of natural gas sweetening)
might imply a great challenge for the separation performance, where
only membranes with exceptional selectivity might achieve the requirements
in a two-stage process. The effective lifetime of the membranes is
a key parameter for the successful implementation of innovative membranes
in order to avoid severe economic penalties due to excessively frequent
membrane replacement. The scale of the process had a great influence
on the economic competitiveness of the process, but large-scale installations
can operate under competitive conditions with total costs below 0.050
US$ per m3 STP of treated feed gas.

Abstract
This study investigates the feasibility of polymer membrane systems for postcombustion carbon dioxide (CO(2)) capture at coal-fired power plants. Using newly developed performance and cost models, our analysis shows that membrane systems configured with multiple stages or steps are capable of meeting capture targets of 90% CO(2) removal efficiency and 95+% product purity. A combined driving force design using both compressors and vacuum pumps is most effective for reducing the cost of CO(2) avoided. Further reductions in the overall system energy penalty and cost can be obtained by recycling a portion of CO(2) via a two-stage, two-step membrane configuration with air sweep to increase the CO(2) partial pressure of feed flue gas. For a typical plant with carbon capture and storage, this yielded a 15% lower cost per metric ton of CO(2) avoided compared to a plant using a current amine-based capture system. A series of parametric analyses also is undertaken to identify paths for enhancing the viability of membrane-based capture technology.
