Abstract
Electrification to reduce or eliminate greenhouse gas emissions is essential to mitigate climate change. However, a substantial portion of our manufacturing and transportation infrastructure will be difficult to electrify and/or will continue to use carbon as a key component, including areas in aviation, heavy-duty and marine transportation, and the chemical industry. In this Roadmap, we explore how multidisciplinary approaches will enable us to close the carbon cycle and create a circular economy by defossilizing these difficult-to-electrify areas and those that will continue to need carbon. We discuss two approaches for this: developing carbon alternatives and improving our ability to reuse carbon, enabled by separations. Furthermore, we posit that co-design and use-driven fundamental science are essential to reach aggressive greenhouse gas reduction targets.

[PMID: 38116909 DOI: 10.1002/cssc.202301436] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/02/2023] [Revised: 11/18/2023] [Accepted: 12/19/2023] [Indexed: 12/21/2023]
Abstract
Alkylcarbamic acids, which are easily produced via chemical absorption of CO2 into amines, have a great potential to be substrates for producing value-added chemicals. In this research, the esterification of various alkylcarbamic acids with alcohols into alkyl N-alkylcarbamates was demonstrated by using a heterogeneous catalyst as well as the corresponding amine additives. In the model reaction, the esterification of benzylcarbamic acid (BZA-CA) and methanol (MeOH), the target product of methyl N-benzylcarbamate was obtained in 64 % CO2 -based yield at 413 K in 12 h over a CeO2 catalyst, which also exhibited good reusability. In this catalytic system, the corresponding amine additive (i. e., benzylamine for BZA-CA) had the important role in the improvement of CO2 -moiety-based balance, allowing the precise kinetic study, in contrast to the cases without such additive. The detailed kinetic study on the target catalytic system and control systems suggested that BZA-CA underwent the esterification by MeOH directly. The current catalytic system using the combination of CeO2 catalyst and corresponding amine additive was also demonstrated to be applicable to the synthesis of alkyl N-alkylcarbamates from alkylcarbamic acids and alcohols with short, linear alkyl chains (≤C3 ).

Abstract
Production of algal biomass and its conversion to biofuels are important technological platforms within the larger umbrella of CO2 capture and utilization. This analysis incorporates a life-cycle assessment (LCA) with respect to global warming potential and techno-economic assessment (TEA) of algae biofuels, focusing on the sourcing and delivery of CO2. This analysis evolves past work in this area to include high-purity biogenic CO2, industrial fossil fuel use, fossil power plants, and direct air capture, and uses a Sherwood plot approach to estimate the CO2 capture energy penalty. We also show that allocation or displacement facilitates a more intuitive distinction between biogenic and fossil sources of carbon. Thus, the LCA better reflects the influence of coproduct handling strategies as compared to previous works. The TEA is also strongly influenced by the CO2 concentration in the flue gas. Currently, when CO2 is sourced from large-point sources, the price of biofuels ($4.5-6.5/GGE) may become comparable to fossil diesel. However, as DAC systems become more economical, they may deliver competitive CO2 sources for biofuels in 2050 with a total cost of <$7/GGE. Based on the net emissions and costs, algae biofuels with CO2 sourced from biogenic sources are consistent with a decarbonized economy as of now, with substantial potential for DAC with decreasing costs.

Abstract
Process-related carbon emissions, which cannot be completely eliminated by the improvement of processes and energy structure, are recognized as an enormous challenge for in-depth decarbonization. To accelerate the achievement of carbon neutrality, the concept of 'artificial carbon cycle' is proposed based on the integrated system of process-related carbon emissions from high-emitting industries and CCU technology as a potential pathway towards a sustainable future. This paper conducts a systematic review on the integrated system with the case of China, which is the largest carbon-emitting and manufacturing country, to provide a clearer and more meaningful analysis. Multi-index assessment was used to organize the literature and draw the useful conclusion. Based on literature review, the high-quality carbon sources, reasonable carbon capture approaches and promising chemical products were identified and analyzed. Then the potential and practicability of the integrated system was further summarized and analyzed. Finally, key factors of future development including technology improvement, green hydrogen, clean energy and industrial cooperation were stressed to provide a theoretical reference for future researchers and policy makers.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2023:10.1007/s11356-023-27898-y. [PMID: 37308624 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-023-27898-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/26/2022] [Accepted: 05/21/2023] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
By-products from the non-ferrous industry are an environmental problem; however, their economic value is high if utilized elsewhere. For example, by-products that contain alkaline compounds can potentially sequestrate CO2 through the mineral carbonation process. This review discusses the potential of these by-products for CO2 reduction through mineral carbonation. The main by-products that are discussed are red mud from the alumina/aluminum industry and metallurgical slag from the copper, zinc, lead, and ferronickel industries. This review summarizes the CO2 equivalent emissions generated by non-ferrous industries and various data about by-products from non-ferrous industries, such as their production quantities, mineralogy, and chemical composition. In terms of production quantities, by-products of non-ferrous industries are often more abundant than the main products (metals). In terms of mineralogy, by-products from the non-ferrous industry are silicate minerals. Nevertheless, non-ferrous industrial by-products have a relatively high content of alkaline compounds, which makes them potential feedstock for mineral carbonation. Theoretically, considering their maximum sequestration capacities (based on their oxide compositions and estimated masses), these by-products could be used in mineral carbonation to reduce CO2 emissions. In addition, this review attempts to identify the difficulties encountered during the use of by-products from non-ferrous industries for mineral carbonation. This review estimated that the total CO2 emissions from the non-ferrous industries could be reduced by up to 9-25%. This study will serve as an important reference, guiding future studies related to the mineral carbonation of by-products from non-ferrous industries.

Abstract
In this work, two industrial dual-step pressure swing adsorption (PSA) processes were designed and simulated to obtain high-purity methane, CO2, and syngas from a gas effluent of a CO2 electroreduction reactor using different design configurations. Among the set of zeolites that was investigated using Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics simulations, NaX and MFI were the ones selected. The dual-PSA process for case study 1 is only capable of achieving a 90.5% methane purity with a 95.2% recovery. As for case study 2, methane is obtained with a 97.5% purity and 95.3% recovery. Both case studies can produce CO2 with high purity and recovery (>97 and 95%, respectively) and syngas with a H2/CO ratio above 4. Although case study 2 allows methane to be used as domestic gas, a much higher value for its energy consumption is observed compared to case study 1 (64.9 vs 29.8 W h molCH4-1).

Abstract
The current study reports AxA'1-xByB'1-yO3-δ perovskite redox catalysts (RCs) for CO2-splitting and methane partial oxidation (POx) in a cyclic redox scheme. Strontium (Sr) and iron (Fe) were chosen as A and B site elements with A' being lanthanum (La), samarium (Sm) or yttrium (Y), and B' being manganese (Mn) or titanium (Ti) to tailor their equilibrium oxygen partial pressures (PO2s) for CO2-splitting and methane partial oxidation. DFT calculations were performed for predictive optimization of the oxide materials whereas experimental investigation confirmed the DFT-predicted redox performance. The redox kinetics of the RCs improved significantly by 1 wt% ruthenium (Ru) impregnation without affecting their redox thermodynamics. Ru-impregnated LaFe0.375Mn0.625O3 (A = 0, A' = La, B = Fe, and B' = Mn) was the most promising RC in terms of its superior redox performance (CH4/CO2 conversion >90% and CO selectivity ∼95%) at 800 °C. Long-term redox testing over Ru-impregnated LaFe0.375Mn0.625O3 indicated a stable performance during the first 30 cycles followed by an ∼25% decrease in the activity during the last 70 cycles. Air treatment was effective to reactivate the redox catalyst. Detailed characterizations revealed the underlying mechanism of the redox catalyst deactivation and reactivation. This study not only validated a DFT-guided mixed oxide design strategy for CO2 utilization but also provides potentially effective approaches to enhance redox kinetics and long-term redox catalyst performance.

Abstract
Efficient and sustainable chemical fixation of CO2 into value-added chemicals is one of the most promising objectives in environmental chemistry. In this work, transition metal acetylacetonate immobilized onto triazolium ionic liquid-modified periodic mesoporous organosilica PMO-IL-M(x) was successfully prepared and investigated as an effective and heterogeneous catalyst in the direct carboxylation of terminal alkynes and CO2 to the desired alkynyl carboxylic acids. It was found that the catalyst PMO-IL-Sn(0.3) exhibited extraordinary catalytic performance in terms of excellent activity, stability, productivity, and excellent yields under mild reaction conditions. Moreover, the catalyst PMO-IL-Sn(0.3) could be easily recovered and reused at least six times without considerable loss in catalytic activity. This work provides a sustainable and efficient synergistic strategy for the chemical fixation of carbon dioxide into valuable alkynyl carboxylic acids.

Abstract
Production of Portland clinker is inherently associated with CO2 emissions originating from limestone decomposition, the irreplaceable large-scale source of calcium oxide needed. Besides carbon capture and storage, CO2 mineralization is the only lever left to reduce these process emissions. CO2 mineralization is a reversal reaction to clinker production—CO2 is bound into stable carbonates in an exothermic process. It can be applied in several environmentally and economically favorable ways at different stages of clinker, cement and concrete life cycle. These possibilities are assessed and discussed in this contribution. The results demonstrate that when combined with concrete recycling, the complete circularity of all its constituents, including the process CO2 emissions from the clinker, can be achieved and the overall related CO2 intensity significantly reduced.

Abstract
Carbon dioxide capture and utilization (CCU) technology is a significant means by which China can achieve its ambitious carbon neutrality goal. It is necessary to explore the behavioral strategies of relevant companies in adopting CCU technology. In this paper, an evolutionary game model is established in order to analyze the interaction process and evolution direction of local governments and coal-fired power plants. We develop a replicator dynamic system and analyze the stability of the system under different conditions. Based on numerical simulation, we analyze the impact of key parameters on the strategies of stakeholders. The simulation results show that the unit prices of hydrogen and carbon dioxide derivatives have the most significant impact: when the unit price of hydrogen decreases to 15.9 RMB/kg or the unit price of carbon dioxide derivatives increases to 3.4 RMB/kg, the evolutionary stabilization strategy of the system changes and power plants shift to adopt CCU technology. The results of this paper suggest that local governments should provide relevant support policies and incentives for CCU technology deployment, as well as focusing on the synergistic development of CCU technology and renewable energy hydrogen production technology.

Abstract
We assemble a film of a phosphocholine-based lipid and a crystalline conjugated polymer using hydrophobic interactions between the alkyl tails of the lipid and alkyl side chains of the polymer, and demonstrated its selective gas adsorption properties and the polymer's improved light absorption properties. We show that a strong attractive interaction between the polar lipid heads and CO2 was responsible for 6 times more CO2 being adsorbed onto the assembly than N2, and that with repeated CO2 adsorption and vacuuming procedures, the assembly structures of the lipid-polymer assembly were irreversibly changed, as demonstrated by in situ grazing-incidence X-ray diffraction during the gas adsorption and desorption. Despite the disruption of the lipid structure caused by adsorbed polar gas molecules on polar head groups, gas adsorption could promote orderly alkyl chain packing by inducing compressive strain, resulting in enhanced electron delocalization of conjugated backbones and bathochromic light absorption. The findings suggest that merging the structures of the crystalline functional polymer and lipid bilayer is a viable option for solar energy-converting systems that use conjugated polymers as a light harvester and the polar heads as CO2-capturing sites. Assembly films of a phosphocholine-based lipid and a crystalline conjugated polymer had significant CO2 selective adsorption and light absorption due to the attractive interaction of CO2 with exposed polar lipid heads and enhanced morphologies.![]()

Abstract
Plasma technology finds applications in many industrial areas. To improve the process efficiency, different plasma forming gases and their mixtures are used. Since CO2 is economical and has high thermal conductivity, it is identified as a potential candidate in plasma material processing. However, the characteristics and merits of CO2 plasma arc in material processing are scanty. In this work, a 2D model is built to simulate plasma arc with CO2 and its mixtures with Ar. Effects of arc current, gas composition and arc length on the arc heating efficiency and arc characteristics are discussed. The arc size is strongly influenced by the gas composition at 200 A than at 100 A. Temperature distribution in the arcs is wider when CO2 content is decreased. The effect of arc current on the arc heating efficiency is stronger at lower current. Results predicted by the present model are compared with measured data for model validation.

Abstract
There exist several well-known methods with varying maturity for capturing carbon dioxide from emission sources of different concentrations, including absorption, adsorption, cryogenics and membrane separation, among others. The capture and separation steps can produce almost pure CO2, but at substantial cost for being conditioned for transport and final utilization, with high economical risks to be considered. A possible way for the elimination of this conditioning and cost is direct CO2 utilization, whether on-site in a further process but within the same plant, or in-situ, coupling both capture and conversion in the same unit. This approach is usually called integrated carbon capture and utilization (ICCU) or integrated carbon capture and conversion (ICCC), and has lately started receiving considerable attention in many circles. As CO2 is already industrially employed in other sectors, such as food preservation, water treatment and conversion to high added-value chemicals and fuels such as methanol, methane, etc., among others, it is of great interest to explore the global ICCC approach. Catalytic-based processes play a key role in CO2 conversion, and different technologies are gaining great attention from both academia and industry. However, the 'big picture of ICCU' and in which technology the efforts should focus on at large scale is still unclear. This review analyzes some promising concepts of ICCU specifically on CO2 catalytic conversion, highlighting their current commercial relevance as well as challenges that have to be faced today and in the next future.

Abstract
In the development of alternatives to the traditional catalytic hydrogenation of CO2 with gaseous H2, employing nongaseous H2 storage compounds as potential reductants for catalytic transfer hydrogenation of CO2 is promising. Ammonia-borane, due to its high hydrogen storage capacity (19.6 wt %), has been used for catalytic transfer hydrogenation of several organic unsaturated compounds. However, a similar protocol involving catalytic transfer hydrogenation of less reactive CO2 with NH3BH3 is yet to be realized experimentally. Herein, we demonstrate the first catalytic CO2 transfer hydrogenation process for generating formate salt with NH3BH3 under ambient conditions (1 atm and 30 °C) employing a cationic "Ir(III)-abnormal NHC" catalyst via an electrophilic NH3BH3 activation route. It exhibited an initial turnover frequency of 686 h-1 and a high turnover number (TON) of ≈1300 in just 4 h. Most significantly, the catalyst was durable enough to maintain long-term activity, and upon only periodic recharging of NH3BH3, it furnished a total TON of >4200 in 10 h.

Abstract
Environmental impacts from coal-fired power generation that produces large amounts of CO2 and fly ash are of great interest. To reduce negative environmental impacts, fly ash utilization was investigated via a direct aqueous carbonation with a low-energy input in which the alkali calcium content in the fly ash reacted with CO2 to form carbonate. Raw fly ash was characterized to understand the potential for direct aqueous carbonation of fly ash. The performance of the fly ash as a calcium source for direct aqueous carbonation at atmospheric pressure was investigated for different solid-liquid ratios and introduced CO2 concentrations. Variations in fly ash elemental composition, reaction solution pH, CO2 concentration in the reactor outlet, CO2 uptake efficiency, CaCO3 content and degree of carbonation were used to illustrate this process reaction. The maximum CO2 uptake efficiency was ~0.016 g-CO2/g-fly ash. This value was compared with previous studies, and the CO2 uptake efficiency was comparable despite the use of a low-energy input method, i.e., direct aqueous carbonation with atmospheric pressure and unconcentrated CO2. The calculated maximum degree of carbonation was 31.0%, which corresponds to 0.0063 g-CO2/g-fly ash. Carbonated product characterization confirmed the carbonation reaction mechanism and safety for further utilization. A comparison of CO2 uptake efficiency in this work with previous work, and considering the energy input and reactive species content, is provided. An assessment of the CO2 reduction potential is provided.

Abstract
Plastic production has been increasing at enormous rates. Particularly, the socioenvironmental problems resulting from the linear economy model have been widely discussed, especially regarding plastic pieces intended for single use and disposed improperly in the environment. Nonetheless, greenhouse gas emissions caused by inappropriate disposal or recycling and by the many production stages have not been discussed thoroughly. Regarding the manufacturing processes, carbon dioxide is produced mainly through heating of process streams and intrinsic chemical transformations, explaining why first-generation petrochemical industries are among the top five most greenhouse gas (GHG)-polluting businesses. Consequently, the plastics market must pursue full integration with the circular economy approach, promoting the simultaneous recycling of plastic wastes and sequestration and reuse of CO2 through carbon capture and utilization (CCU) strategies, which can be employed for the manufacture of olefins (among other process streams) and reduction of fossil-fuel demands and environmental impacts. Considering the previous remarks, the present manuscript’s purpose is to provide a review regarding CO2 emissions, capture, and utilization in the plastics industry. A detailed bibliometric review of both the scientific and the patent literature available is presented, including the description of key players and critical discussions and suggestions about the main technologies. As shown throughout the text, the number of documents has grown steadily, illustrating the increasing importance of CCU strategies in the field of plastics manufacture.

Abstract
The study investigates the correlation of CO2 absorption performance and electrical properties in a tri-ethanolamine (TEA) aqueous solution compared to the mono-ethanolamine (MEA) and di-ethanolamine (DEA) systems. While the absorption rate of the MEA and DEA systems varies with amine concentration, and the maximum rate is observed at 30.0 and 50.4 wt% amine solution, respectively, the rate of the TEA system according to concentration follows a parabolic curve and the maximum rate is observed at 15.0 wt% solution. The ionic conductivity of carbamic acid in the TEA system is estimated to be the smallest with 37.60 S cm2/mol z and the decreasing ratio of ionic activity coefficient according to the concentration is the largest. The results are mostly attributed to differences in amine molecular structure and the unique reaction mechanism. Finally, based on these values, the correlation equations are obtained to estimate CO2 absorption capacity by measuring electrical conductivity in situ.

Abstract
The development of new CO2 detection technologies and CO2 "capture-conversion" materials is of great significance due to the growing environmental crisis. Here, multifunctional triazine-linked polymers with built-in N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) sites (designated as NHC-triazine@polymer) are presented for simultaneous CO2 detection, capture, activation, and catalytic conversion. NHC-triazine@polymer were readily obtained through polymerization of cyanophenyl-substituted NHC. The obtained film-like polymers exhibited interesting CO2 -triggered fluorescence "turn-on" response and CO2 -sensitive reversible color change. Both NHC and triazine sites could act as efficient binding sites for CO2 , and the CO2 uptake of NHC and triazine reached 1.52 and 1.36 mmol g-1 , respectively. Notably, after being captured by NHC, CO2 was activated into a zwitterionic adduct NHC-CO2 that could be easily transformed into cyclic carbonate in the presence of epoxides. Moreover, NHC-triazine@polymer were stable and active catalysts for the conversion of low-concentration CO2 in a gas mixture (7 vol %) into cyclic carbonates as well as for hydrosilylation of CO2 to formamides.

Abstract
Mineral carbonation using alkaline wastes is an attractive approach to CO2 utilization. Owing to the difference between waste CO2 and feedstock CO2, developing CO2 utilization technologies without CO2 purification and pressurization is a promising concept. This study investigated a potential method for CO2 utilization via direct aqueous carbonation of synthesized concrete fines under atmospheric pressure and low CO2 concentration. The carbonation reaction with different solid-liquid ratios and different concentrations of introduced CO2 was examined in detail. Under basic conditions, a CO2 uptake of 0.19 g-CO2/g-concrete fines demonstrated that direct aqueous carbonation of concrete fines under atmospheric pressure and low CO2 concentration is effective. The CaCO3 concentration, degree of carbonation, and reaction mechanism were clarified. Furthermore, characterization of the carbonated products was used to evaluate ways of utilizing the carbonated products.

Abstract
CO2 separation is an important process for a wide spectrum of industries including petrochemical, refinery and coal-fired power plant industries. The membrane-based process is a promising operation for CO2 separation owing to its fundamental engineering and economic benefits over the conventionally used separation processes. Asymmetric polymer–inorganic nanocomposite membranes are endowed with interesting properties for gas separation processes. The presence of nanosized inorganic nanofiller has offered unprecedented opportunities to address the issues of conventionally used polymeric membranes. Surface modification of nanofillers has become an important strategy to address the shortcomings of nanocomposite membranes in terms of nanofiller agglomeration and poor dispersion and polymer–nanofiller incompatibility. In the context of CO2 gas separation, surface modification of nanofiller is also accomplished to render additional CO2 sorption capacity and facilitated transport properties. This article focuses on the current strategies employed for the surface modification of nanofillers used in the development of CO2 separation nanocomposite membranes. A review based on the recent progresses made in physical and chemical modifications of nanofiller using various techniques and modifying agents is presented. The effectiveness of each strategy and the correlation between the surface modified nanofiller and the CO2 separation performance of the resultant nanocomposite membranes are thoroughly discussed.

Abstract
For both the waste treatment of large quantities of blast furnace (BF) slag and carbon dioxide (CO2) that are discharged in ironworks, mineral carbonation by BF slag was proposed in this decade. However, it has not been widely used due to its high energy consumption and low production efficiency. In this study, a microwave roasting method was employed to mineralize CO2 with BF slag, and the process parameters for the sulfation and energy consumption were investigated. A mixture of BF slag and recyclable ammonium sulfate [(NH4)2SO4] (mass ratio, 1 : 2) was roasted in a microwave tube furnace, and then leached with distilled water at a solid : liquid ratio of 1 : 3 (g mL−1). Under the optimized experiment conditions (T = 340 °C, holding time = 2 min), the best sulfation ratios of calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), aluminum (Al), and titanium (Ti) were 93.3%, 98.3%, 97.5%, and 80.4%, respectively. Compared with traditional roasting, the production efficiency of this process was more than 10 times higher, and the energy consumption for mineralizing 1 kg of CO2 could be reduced by 40.2% after simulation with Aspen Plus v8.8. Moreover, 236.1 kg of CO2 could be mineralized by one ton of BF slag, and a series of by-products with economic value could also be obtained. The proposed process offers an energy-efficient method with high productivity and good economy for industrial waste treatment and CO2 storage. This paper highlights the potential of microwave roasting in solid-waste treatment and carbon dioxide storage.![]()
