[PMID: 36984705 PMCID: PMC10052152 DOI: 10.3390/membranes13030318] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2023] [Revised: 03/01/2023] [Accepted: 03/07/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Membrane separation technology for CO2 capture in pre-combustion has the advantages of easy operation, minimal land use and no pollution and is considered a reliable alternative to traditional technology. However, previous studies only focused on the H2-selective membrane (HM) or CO2-selective membrane (CM), paying little attention to the combination of different membranes. Therefore, it is hopeful to find the optimal process by considering the potential combination of H2-selective and CO2-selective membranes. For the CO2 capture process in pre-combustion, this paper presents an optimization model based on the superstructure method to determine the best membrane process. In the superstructure model, both CO2-selective and H2-selective commercial membranes are considered. In addition, the changes in optimal membrane performance and capture cost are studied when the selectivity and permeability of membrane change synchronously based on the Robeson upper bound. The results show that when the CO2 purity is 96% and the CO2 recovery rate is 90%, the combination of different membrane types achieves better results. The optimal process is the two-stage membrane process with recycling, using the combination of CM and HM in all situations, which has obvious economic advantages compared with the Selexol process. Under the condition of 96% CO2 purity and 90% CO2 recovery, the CO2 capture cost can be reduced to 11.75$/t CO2 by optimizing the process structure, operating parameters, and performance of membranes.

Membrane Cascade Type of «Continuous Membrane Column» for Power Plant Post-Combustion Carbon Dioxide Capture Part 1: Simulation of the Binary Gas Mixture Separation. MEMBRANES 2023; 13:270.

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
![]()
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.
