Abstract
Moisture power generation (MPG) technology, producing clean and sustainable energy from a humid environment, has drawn significant attention and research efforts in recent years as a means of easing the energy crisis. Despite the rapid progress, MPG technology still faces numerous challenges with the most significant one being the low power-generating performance of individual MPG devices. In this review, we introduce the background and underlying principles of MPG technology while thoroughly explaining how the selection of suitable materials (carbons, polymers, inorganic salts, etc.) and the optimization of the device structure (pore structure, moisture gradient structure, functional group gradient structure, and electrode structure) can address the existing and anticipated challenges. Furthermore, this review highlights the major scientific and engineering hurdles on the way to advancing MPG technology and offers potential insights for the development of high-performance MPG systems.

[PMID: 39048643 PMCID: PMC11269617 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-67631-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/06/2024] [Accepted: 07/15/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024] Open
Abstract
The aims of this research were to prepare activated carbon (AC) impregnated with tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA) for use in carbon dioxide (CO2) capture and to then develop the AC-TEPA sorbent with titanium dioxide (TiO2) as a catalyst for photocatalytic reduction. The AC was impregnated with TEPA at three loading levels (2.5, 5, and 10% [w/w]) and then examined for its CO2 adsorption capacity under an ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure. The use of 5% (w/w) TEPA-impregnated AC (AC_5T) provided the highest CO2 adsorption capacity and long-term operation with a regeneration ability for up to 10 cycles. Then, AC_5T-doped TiO2 (AC_5T-TiO2) was prepared as a photocatalytic reduction catalyst, since the presence of carbon and nitrogen in AC_5T could reduce the band gap energy and so enhance the photocatalytic reduction. In addition, the CO2-saturated AC_5T was used as a CO2 source that could be directly converted to valuable chemicals using the AC_5T-TiO2 catalyst under photocatalytic reduction. Products were obtained in both the liquid (methanol) and gaseous (methane, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen) phases. Accordingly, the challenge of this research was to make valuable products from CO2 and to manage waste tires, following the circular economy concept.

Abstract
If absolutely nothing is taken to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide will rise to 550 parts per million by 2050, which will have disastrous effects on the world's climate and food production. An apparatus has been designed and setup to convert CO2 into a useful and vital product which was silica. The effect of different experimental factors on the compositions by weight percent of SiO2 and Na2CO3 were studied including the CO2 gas flow rate (1.037, 1.648 and 2.26 L/min), initial concentration of sodium silicate (Na2SiO3) solution (5, 7.5 and 10 %wt) and the packing size (15.95, 20.175, and 24.4 mm). An optimization process was performed using the Design Expert software program to achieve the optimum experimental conditions at which the maximum weight percent of SiO2 (main product), the minimum weight percent of (Na2CO3) (side product) and the minimum reaction time were determined. From the optimization process, the maximum weight percent of SiO2 (25.63 %), the minimum weight percent of (Na2CO3) (9.62 %) and the minimum reaction time (7.59 min) were achieved at the following optimum experimental conditions of CO2 gas flow rate = 1.648 L/min, packing size = 24.4 mm and initial concentration of sodium silicate solution = 10 %wt.

Abstract
This research presents the utilization of an enhanced Sine cosine perturbation with Chaotic perturbation and Mirror imaging strategy-based Salp Swarm Algorithm (SCMSSA), which incorporates three improvement mechanisms, to enhance the convergence accuracy and speed of the optimization algorithm. The study assesses the SCMSSA algorithm's performance against other optimization algorithms using six test functions to show the efficacy of the enhancement strategies. Furthermore, its efficacy in improving Support Vector Regression (SVR) models for CO2 prediction is assessed. The results reveal that the SVR-SCMSSA hybrid model surpasses other hybrid models and standard SVR in terms of training and prediction accuracy by obtaining 95 % accuracy. Its swift convergence, precision, and resistance to local optima position make it an excellent choice for addressing complex problems such as CO2 prediction, with critical implications for sustainability efforts. Moreover, feature importance analysis by SVR-SCMSSA offers valuable insights into the key contributors to CO2 prediction in the dataset, emphasizing the significance and impact of factors such as fossil fuel, Biomass, and Wood as major contributors to CO2 emission. The research suggests the adoption of the SVR-SCMSSA hybrid model for more accurate and reliable CO2 prediction to researchers and policymakers, which is essential for environmental sustainability and climate change mitigation.

Abstract
Religious environmentalism relies upon religious texts and leadership to promote effective and long-lasting change for environmental problems, such as responsible use and conservation of natural resources and biodiversity. World religions note the importance of biodiversity and humanity's responsibility in stewarding biodiversity as a member of ecological communities. We reviewed Quranic verses that relate to biodiversity and align with United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Holy Quran was reviewed in electronic and hard copy formats, and verses related to biodiversity were translated to English and tabulated by Qur'anic chapter, verse, and narrative citation. Twenty-one Qur'anic verses were identified that addressed biodiversity. Scriptures were divided into 5 groups that addressed provision of resources, governance or stewardship of resources, nature as a teacher, and human life in nature's communities or described creation of biodiversity. Qur'anic verses were aligned with 4 SDGs (goals 12-15), which address sustainable consumption of natural resources, global climate change, life in marine environments, and life in terrestrial environments, including freshwater ecosystems. This alignment demonstrates the interconnectedness of life, that conservation of biodiversity is referenced in the Quran, and how positive management of natural recourses can be beneficial to Muslim communities on local, national, and global scales. Positive movement toward ecofriendly practices, sound environmental resource use and management, biodiversity conservation, and governmental policies on conservation can be promoted through scriptures from the Holy Qur'an.

Abstract
With a growing need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, innovative carbon dioxide sorbents are being sought. One of the sorbents being tested is nanoparticle ferric hydrosol (FFH). In parallel with sorbent testing, it is also necessary to test the used sorbent after carbon dioxide capture (FFHCO2) and to develop an optimal method for its processing and management. The research described in this article evaluated the potential use of FFHCO2 in dewatering, coagulation and bioleaching processes. The research results indicate that the basic strategy for dealing with waste FFHCO2 sorbent should be to minimize the amount of waste by volume reduction-dewatering. Recycling of FFHCO2 as an iron waste coagulant or its processing products by bioleaching had no technological justification. It is only proposed to recover the material-iron compounds-if it is environmentally and economically justified.

Abstract
Solvent-based CO2 capture is a commonly employed post-combustion technique in processes involving absorber-stripper columns. This study focused on computer simulations with equilibrium- and rate-based modeling of CO2 capture using the amine solvents 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP), diethanolamine (DEA), and methyl diethanolamine (MDEA) and thermodynamic methods involving electrolyte NRTL models. The objective of this study was to understand the impacts of rate-based modeling, the type of amine, and thermodynamic methods on carbon capture. Within this study, the amine-based CO2 capture process from coal-power plant flue gas was studied using Aspen Plus modeling. Simulations were also conducted to determine the impact of thermodynamics and kinetics on the CO2 capture performance of the system. The results were analyzed on the basis of captured CO2 according to the solvents and models. The equilibrium approach was mostly invalid because of the oversimplified ideal stage assumptions through the column. The lowest carbon capture capacity was obtained with MDEA, while DEA yielded the best results. A sensitivity analysis with rate-based modeling showed the significant impact of the inlet CO2 composition. The amine-based CO2 capture process simulation included solution chemistry, electrolyte thermodynamics, rigorous transport property modeling, reaction kinetics, and rate-based multistage simulation, which could be applicable to different solvent systems.

Abstract
A strategic roadmap for noncarbonized fuels is a global priority, and the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions is a key focus of the Paris Agreement to mitigate the effects of rising temperatures. In this context, hydrogen is a promising noncarbonized fuel, but the pace of its implementation will depend on the engineering advancements made at each step of its value chain. To accelerate its adoption, various applications of hydrogen across industries, transport, power, and building sectors have been identified, where it can be used as a feedstock, fuel, or energy carrier and storage. However, widespread usage of hydrogen will depend on its political, industrial, and social acceptance. It is essential to carefully assess the hydrogen value chain and compare it with existing solar technologies. The major challenge to widespread adoption of hydrogen is its cost as outlined in the roadmap for hydrogen. It needs to be produced at the levelized cost of hydrogen of less than $2 kg-1 to be competitive with the established process of steam methane reforming. Therefore, this review provides a comprehensive analysis of each step of the hydrogen value chain, outlining both the current challenges and recent advances.

Abstract
The calcium looping cycle (CaL) possesses outstanding CO2 capture capacity for future carbon-capturing technologies that utilise CaO sorbents to capture the CO2 in a looping cycle. However, sorbent degradation and the presence of inert materials stabilise the sorbent, thereby reducing the CO2 capture capacity. Consequently, the CaO sorbent that has degraded must be replenished, increasing the operational cost for industrial use. CaO sorbents have been modified to enhance their CO2 capture capacity and stability. However, various CaO sorbents, including limestone, dolomite, biogenesis calcium waste and industrial waste, exhibit distinct behaviour in response to these modifications. Thus, this work comprehensively reviews the CO2 capture capacity of sorbent improvement based on various CaO sorbents. Furthermore, this study provides an understanding of the effects of CO2 capture capacity based on the properties of the CaO sorbent. The properties of various CaO sorbents, such as surface area, pore volume, particle size and morphology, are influential in exhibiting high CO2 capture capacity. This review provides insights into the future development of CaL technology, particularly for carbon-capturing technologies that focus on the modifications of CaO sorbents and the properties that affect the CO2 capture capacity.

Abstract
Polysulfone membranes, used as contactors for CO2 capture, are blended with two different hyperbranched polyethyleneimines modified with benzoyl chloride (Additive 1) and phenyl isocyanate (Additive 2) in different percentages. Fourier-transformed infrared spectra evidence the presence of urea and amide groups, whereas the field emission scanning electron microscopy images show differences in the microstructure of the blended membranes. Dielectric spectra determine the motions of the side and backbone chains, which can facilitate the diffusion of CO2 . The spectra consist of six dielectric processes; three of them are due to the polysulfone (γPSf , βPSf , and αPSf ), whereas the rest are characteristic of the additive (γHPEI , βHPEI , and αHPEI ). The benzoyl chloride and phenyl isocyanate functional groups introduce variations in molecular mobility and modify the relaxations associated with the hyperbranched polyethyleneimine (HPEI). The additives also increase the conductivity of the blended membranes, which can compromise the performance of the membranes, specifically in the case of Additive 1. Ion hopping is found to be the prevailing charge transport mechanism while both relaxations, αHPEI and αPSf , are actives. These results, together with the final morphology of the membranes, may explain the greater absorption capacity of the membranes prepared with the hyperbranched polyethyleneimine modified with Additive 2.

Abstract
Carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) technologies are utmost need of the modern era. CCUS technologies adoption is compulsory to keep global warming below 1.5 °C. Mineral carbonation (MC) is considered one of the safest and most viable methods to sequester anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2). MC is an exothermic reaction and occur naturally in the subsurface because of fluid-rock interactions with serpentinite. In serpentine carbonation, CO2 reacts with magnesium to produce carbonates. This article covers CO2 mitigation technologies especially mineral carbonation, mineral carbonation by natural and industrial materials, mineral carbonation feedstock availability in Pakistan, detailed characterization of serpentine from Skardu serpentinite belt, geo sequestration, oceanic sequestration, CO2 to urea and CO2 to methanol and other chemicals. Advantages, disadvantages, and suitability of these technologies is discussed. These technologies are utmost necessary for Pakistan as recent climate change induced flooding devastated one third of Pakistan affecting millions of families. Hence, Pakistan must store CO2 through various CCUS technologies.

Yagmur Goren A, Erdemir D, Dincer I. Comprehensive review and assessment of carbon capturing methods and technologies: An environmental research. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 240:117503. [PMID: 37907166 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.117503] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2023] [Revised: 10/05/2023] [Accepted: 10/23/2023] [Indexed: 11/02/2023]
Abstract
A majority of the primary contributors of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions into the environment have really been out of human-made activities. The levels of CO2 in the atmosphere have increased substantially since the time of the industrial revolution. This has been linked to the use of fossil fuels for energy production, as well as the widespread production of some industrial components like cement and the encroaching destruction of forests. An extreme approach is now necessary to develop the right policies and address the local and global environmental issues in the right way. In this regard, CO2 capturing, utilization, and storage are reliable options that industrial facilities can initiate to overcome this problem. Therefore, we have evaluated the two leading technologies that are used for carbon capture: direct (pre-combustion, post-combustion, and oxy-combustion) and indirect carbon (reforestation, enhanced weathering, bioenergy with carbon capture, and agricultural practices) capturing to provide their current status and progresses. Among the considered processes, the post-combustion techniques are widely utilized on a commercial scale, especially in industrial applications. Technology readiness level (TRL) results have showed that amine solvents, pressure-vacuum swing adsorption, and gas separation membranes have the highest TRL value of 9. In addition, the environmental impact assessment methods have been ranked to evaluate their sustainability levels. The highest global warming potential of 219.53 kgCO2 eq./MWh has been obtained for the post-combustion process. Overall, through this comprehensive review, we have identified some critical research gaps in the open literature in the field of CO2-capturing methods where there are strong needs for future research and technology development studies, for instance, developing stable and cost-effective liquid solvents and improving the adsorption capacity of commercialized sorbents. Furthermore, some research areas, like novel process design, environmental and economic impact assessment of capturing methods with different chemicals and modeling and simulation studies, will require further effort to demonstrate the developed technologies for pilot and commercial-scale applications.

JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2024; 349:119280. [PMID: 37897897 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2023.119280] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2023] [Revised: 09/25/2023] [Accepted: 10/06/2023] [Indexed: 10/30/2023]
Abstract
China's aims of achieving CO2 emissions peak by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060 are crucial in guiding international efforts to mitigate climate change. Amine-based solvent technologies for capturing CO2 on a large scale have been implemented as retrofits in various industrial facilities, with a particular focus on coal-fired power plants. Nonetheless, its implementation within the waste-to-energy (WTE) industry is considerably limited and non-existent in China. This work presents a technical and economic evaluation of retrofitting a generic WTE facility in China with a carbon capture system. A rate-based process simulation model of the capture plant was developed in Aspen Plus, and the effect of equipment installation factors on capital cost was evaluated via the enhanced detailed factor (EDF) method. A set of key performance indicators were evaluated. The findings indicate that the energy demand linked to the capture system caused a decrease in efficiency by 13.17%, 14.85%, and 16.56% at 85%, 90%, and 95% capture rates, respectively, and the overall exergy efficiency of the system was reduced by 5.5%, 8.27%, and 10.63%, respectively. The estimated CO2 captured costs range from €56.41/tCO2 to €58.95/tCO2, while CO2 avoided costs range from €153.33/tCO2 to €236.47/tCO2. Retrofitting a CO2 capture unit at WTE facilities has the potential to substantially contribute to achieving the country's emission reduction targets. However, the successful implementation requires a comprehensive policy structure. This work offers some insights into the prospective integration of CO2 capture technology in China's WTE industry.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 903:166108. [PMID: 37567281 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.166108] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2023] [Revised: 07/29/2023] [Accepted: 08/05/2023] [Indexed: 08/13/2023]
Abstract
Population growth and urbanization are driving energy demand. Despite the development of renewable energy technologies, most of this demand is still met by fossil fuels. Flue gases are the main air pollutants from combustion power plants. These pollutants include particulate matter (PM), sulfur oxides (SOx), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and carbon oxides (COx). The release of these pollutants has adverse effects on human health and the environment, including serious damage to the human respiratory system, acid rain, climate change, and global warming. In this review, a wide range of conventional and new technologies that have the potential to be used in the combustion power plant sector to manage and reduce flue gas pollutants have been examined. Nowadays, conventional approaches to emissions control and management, which focus primarily on post-combustion techniques, face several challenges despite their widespread use and commendable effectiveness. Therefore, studies that have proposed alternative approaches to achieve improved and more efficient methods are reviewed. The results show that new advances such as novel PM collectors, attaining an efficiency of nearly 100 % for submicron particles, microwave systems, boasting an efficiency of nearly 90 % for NO and over 95 % for SO2, electrochemical systems achieving above 90 % efficiency for NOx reduction, non-thermal plasma processes demonstrating an efficiency close to 90 % for NOx, microalgae-based methods with efficiency ranging from 80 % to 99 % for CO2, and wet scrubbing, exhibit considerable potential in addressing the shortcomings of conventional systems. Furthermore, the integration of hybrid methods, particularly in regions prioritizing environmental concerns over economic considerations, holds promise for enhanced control and removal of flue gas pollutants with superior efficiency.

Abstract
The carbon dioxide (CO2) crisis is one of the world's most urgent issues. Meeting the worldwide targets set for CO2 capture and storage (CCS) is crucial. Because it may significantly reduce energy consumption compared to traditional amine-based adsorption capture, adsorption dependant CO2 capture is regarded as one of the most hopeful techniques in this paradigm. The expansion of unique, critical edge adsorbent materials has received most of the research attention to date, with the main objective of improving adsorption capacity and lifespan while lowering the temperature of adsorption, thereby lowering the energy demand of sorbent revival. There are specific materials needed for each step of the carbon cycle, including capture, regeneration, and conversion. The potential and efficiency of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) in overcoming this obstacle have recently been proven through research. In this study, we pinpoint MOFs' precise structural and chemical characteristics that have contributed to their high capture capacity, effective regeneration and separation processes, and efficient catalytic conversions. As prospective materials for the next generation of energy storage and conversion applications, carbon-based compounds like graphene, carbon nanotubes, and fullerenes are receiving a lot of interest. Their distinctive physicochemical characteristics make them suitable for these popular study topics, including structural stability and flexibility, high porosity, and customizable physicochemical traits. It is possible to precisely design the interior of MOFs to include coordinatively unsaturated metal sites, certain heteroatoms, covalent functionalization, various building unit interactions, and integrated nanoscale metal catalysts. This is essential for the creation of MOFs with improved performance. Utilizing the accuracy of MOF chemistry, more complicated materials must be built to handle selectivity, capacity, and conversion all at once to achieve a comprehensive solution. This review summarizes, the most recent developments in adsorption-based CO2 combustion capture, the CO2 adsorption capacities of various classes of solid sorbents, and the significance of advanced carbon nanomaterials for environmental remediation and energy conversion. This review also addresses the difficulties and potential of developing carbon-based electrodes for energy conversion and storage applications.

Abstract
The production of low-cost solid adsorbents for carbon dioxide (CO2) capture has gained massive consideration. Biomass wastes are preferred as precursors for synthesis of CO2 solid adsorbents, due to their high CO2 adsorption efficiency, and ease of scalable low-cost production. This review particularly focuses on waste biomass-derived adsorbents with their CO2 adsorption performances. Specifically, studies related to carbon (biochar and activated carbon) and silicon (silicates and geopolymers)-based adsorbents were summarized. The impact of experimental parameters including nature of biomass, synthesis route, carbonization temperature and type of activation methods on the CO2 adsorption capacities of biomass-derived pure carbon and silicon-based adsorbents were evaluated. The development of various enhancement strategies on biomass-derived adsorbents for CO2 capture and their responsible factors that impact adsorbent's CO2 capture proficiency were also reviewed. The possible CO2 adsorption mechanisms on the adsorbent's surface were highlighted. The challenges and research gaps identified in this research area have also been emphasized, which will help as further research prospects.

Abstract
La0.6Ca0.4Co1-xFexO3-d in its various compositions has proven to be an excellent CO2-resistant oxygen transport membrane that can be used in plasma-assisted CO2 conversion. With the goal of incorporating green hydrogen into the CO2 conversion process, this work takes a step further by investigating the compatibility of La0.6Ca0.4Co1-xFexO3-d membranes with hydrogen fed into the plasma. This will enable plasma-assisted conversion of the carbon monoxide produced in the CO2 reduction process into green fuels, like methanol. This requires the La0.6Ca0.4Co1-xFexO3-d membranes to be tolerant towards reducing conditions of hydrogen. The hydrogen tolerance of La0.6Ca0.4Co1-xFexO3-d (x = 0.8) was studied in detail. A faster and resource-efficient route based on ultrasonic spray synthesis was developed to synthesise the La0.6Ca0.4Co0.2Fe0.8O3-d membranes. The La0.6Ca0.4Co0.2Fe0.8O3-d membrane developed using ultrasonic spray synthesis showed similar performance in terms of its oxygen permeation when compared with the ones synthesised with conventional techniques, such as co-precipitation, sol-gel, etc., despite using 30% less cobalt.

Abstract
CO2 absorption has been driven by the need for efficient and environmentally sustainable CO2 capture technologies. The development in the synthesis of ionic liquids (ILs) has attracted immense attention due to the possibility of obtaining compounds with designated properties. This allows ILs to be used in various applications including, but not limited to, biomass pretreatment, catalysis, additive in lubricants and dye-sensitive solar cell (DSSC). The utilization of ILs to capture carbon dioxide (CO2) is one of the most well-known processes in an effort to improve the quality of natural gas and to reduce the green gases emission. One of the key advantages of ILs relies on their low vapor pressure and high thermal stability properties. Unlike any other traditional solvents, ILs exhibit high solubility and selectivity towards CO2. Frequently studied ILs for CO2 absorption include imidazolium-based ILs such as [HMIM][Tf2N] and [BMIM][OAc], as well as ILs containing amine groups such as [Cho][Gly] and [C1ImPA][Gly]. Though ILs are being considered as alternative solvents for CO2 capture, their full potential is limited by their main drawback, namely, high viscosity. Therefore, the hybridization of ILs has been introduced as a means of optimizing the performance of ILs, given their promising potential in capturing CO2. The resulting hybrid materials are expected to exhibit various ranges of chemical and physical characteristics. This review presents the works on the hybridization of ILs with numerous materials including activated carbon (AC), cellulose, metal-organic framework (MOF) and commercial amines. The primary focus of this review is to present the latest innovative solutions aimed at tackling the challenges associated with IL viscosity and to explore the influences of ILs hybridization toward CO2 capture. In addition, the development and performance of ILs for CO2 capture were explored and discussed. Lastly, the challenges in ILs hybridization were also being addressed.

Abstract
Unprecedented increase in atmospheric CO2 levels calls for efficient, sustainable, and cost-effective technologies for CO2 removal, including both capture and conversion approaches. Current CO2 abatement is largely based on energy-intensive thermal processes with a high degree of inflexibility. In this Perspective, it is argued that future CO2 technologies will follow the general societal trend towards electrified systems. This transition is largely promoted by decreasing electricity prices, continuous expansion of renewable energy infrastructure, and breakthroughs in carbon electrotechnologies, such as electrochemically modulated amine regeneration, redox-active quinones and other species, and microbial electrosynthesis. In addition, new initiatives make electrochemical carbon capture an integrated part of Power-to-X applications, for example, by linking it to H2 production. Selected electrochemical technologies crucial for a future sustainable society are reviewed. However, significant further development of these technologies within the next decade is needed, to meet the ambitious climate goals.

Abstract
Industrail revolution on the back of fossil fuels has costed humanity higher temperatures on the planet due to ever-growing concentration of CO2 emissions in Earth's atmosphere. To tackle global warming demand for renewable energy sources continues to increase. Along renewables, there has been a growing interest in converting carbon dioxide to methanol, which can be used as a fuel or a feedstock for producing chemicals. The current review study provides a comprehensive overview of the recent advancements, challenges, and future prospects of methanol production and purification via membrane-based technology. Traditional downstream processes for methanol production, such as distillation and absorption, have several drawbacks, including high energy consumption and environmental concerns. In comparison to conventional technologies, membrane-based separation techniques have emerged as a promising alternative for producing and purifying methanol. The review highlights recent developments in membrane-based methanol production and purification technology, including using novel membrane materials such as ceramic, polymeric, and mixed matrix membranes. Additionally, integrating photocatalytic processes with membrane separation has been investigated to improve the conversion of carbon dioxide to methanol. Despite the potential benefits of membrane-based systems, several challenges need to be addressed. Membrane fouling and scaling are significant issues that can reduce the efficiency and lifespan of the membranes. Furthermore, the cost-effectiveness of membrane-based systems compared to traditional methods is a critical consideration that must be evaluated. In conclusion, the review provides insights into the current state of membrane-based technology for methanol production and purification and identifies areas for future research. The development of high-performance membranes and the optimization of membrane-based processes are crucial for improving the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of this technology and for advancing the goal of sustainable energy production.

Carbon Emission Evaluation of CO 2 Curing in Vibro-Compacted Precast Concrete Made with Recycled Aggregates. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 16:2436.

Abstract
The objective of the present study was to explore three types of vibro-compacted precast concrete mixtures replacing fine and coarse gravel with a recycled/mixed concrete aggregate (RCA or MCA). The portlandite phase found in RCA and MCA by XRD is a "potential" CO2 sink. CO2 curing improved the compressive strength in all the mixtures studied. One tonne of the mixtures studied could be decarbonised after only 7 days of curing 13,604, 36,077 and 24,635 m3 of air using natural aggregates, RCA or MCA, respectively. The compressive strength obtained, XRD, TGA/DTA and carbon emission evaluation showed that curing longer than 7 days in CO2 was pointless. The total CO2 emissions by a mixture using CO2 curing at 7 days were 221.26, 204.38 and 210.05 kg CO2 eq/m3 air using natural aggregates, RCA or MCA, respectively. The findings of this study provide a valuable contribution to carbon emission evaluation of CO2 curing in vibro-compacted precast concrete with recycled/mixed concrete aggregates (RCA or MCA). The technology proposed in this research facilitates carbon capture and use and guarantees enhanced compressive strength of the concrete samples.

WASTE MANAGEMENT (NEW YORK, N.Y.) 2023; 156:297-306.

Abstract
After the revision of the Fertilizer Regulation (EC 2019/1009), biomass ash can be used as component material for soil improvers to be placed on the EU market. This provides opportunities for large scale recycling of biomass ash. However, this material cannot be directly applied to soil without stabilization by carbonation, which also creates an opportunity for CO2 capture and storage. Here, accelerated carbonation in an atmospheric fixed-bed reactor (AFR) was applied to prepare ash granules (AG). Relative humidity of gas, temperature, reaction time and CO2 concentration were optimized and further tested in a closed high-pressure reactor (HPR). Materials resulting from both reactors were compared with those obtained after 1-year of carbonation under atmospheric conditions. This study showed that AFR accelerated tests resulted in a significant reduction of the reaction time than HPR to achieve a similar pH adjustment. Also, under 100 vol.% CO2 atmospheric conditions, pH and electrical conductivity reached target values faster than under 15 vol.% CO2 conditions. Based on results obtained here we recommend AFR operating at 25 °C and 100 vol.% CO2 for 20 h, as the optimal procedure for stabilization of AG. In this study we provide evidence that accelerated carbonation enables a much faster and cost-efficient preparation of potentially valuable soil additives than natural carbonation. Also, leaching tests revealed that plant nutrient availability (B, Mg, Mn, Mo and P) was increased under accelerated carbonation compared to natural carbonation. The present work paves the way towards the development of optimized protocols to effectively recycle biomass ashes for soil recovery.

Abstract
Global warming and climate changes are among the biggest modern-day environmental problems, the main factor causing these problems is the greenhouse gas effect. The increased concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere resulted in capturing increased amounts of reflected sunlight, causing serious acute and chronic environmental problems. The concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere reached 421 ppm in 2022 as compared to 280 in the 1800s, this increase is attributed to the increased carbon dioxide emissions from the industrial revolution. The release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere can be minimized by practicing carbon capture utilization and storage methods. Carbon capture utilization and storage (CCUS) has four major methods, namely, pre-combustion, post-combustion, oxyfuel combustion, and direct air capture. It has been reported that applying CCUS can capture up to 95% of the produced carbon dioxide in running power plants. However, a reported cost penalty and efficiency decrease hinder the wide applicability of CCUS. Advancements in the CCSU were made in increasing the efficiency and decreasing the cost of the sorbents. In this review, we highlight the recent developments in utilizing both physical and chemical sorbents to capture carbon. This includes amine-based sorbents, blended absorbents, ionic liquids, metal-organic framework (MOF) adsorbents, zeolites, mesoporous silica materials, alkali-metal adsorbents, carbonaceous materials, and metal oxide/metal oxide-based materials. In addition, a comparison between recently proposed kinetic and thermodynamic models was also introduced. It was concluded from the published studies that amine-based sorbents are considered assuperior carbon-capturing materials, which is attributed to their high stability, multifunctionality, rapid capture, and ability to achieve large sorption capacities. However, more work must be done to reduce their cost as it can be regarded as their main drawback.

Abstract
To seek sustainable CO2 sequestration and conversion, an electrochemical cell has been investigated for carbon capture and utilization strategy (CCU). In this cell, atmospheric CO2 is captured under ambient conditions and incorporated into power generation using zinc nanopowder as the catalyst. As a result, a method was developed to tune the electronic property of zinc by passing CO2. It was observed that nearly three orders of magnitude of conductivity could be changed along with achieving a carbon capture strategy. The system also exhibited good stability. In this process, it was observed that efficient current generation could be achieved due to zinc's active participation as a catalyst. The detailed physicochemical characterizations of catalysts were also examined. XRD, FTIR and TEM analysis perform the structural and morphological characterization. The system performance was further investigated using different criteria.

Abstract
Recent assessments alarmingly indicate that many of the world's leading chemicals are transgressing one or more of the nine planetary boundaries, which define safe operating spaces within which humanity can continue to develop and thrive for generations to come. The unfolding crisis cannot be ignored and there is a once-in-a-century opportunity for chemistry - the science of transformation of matter - to make a critical difference to the future of people and planet. How can chemists contribute to meeting these challenges and restore stability and strengthen resilience to the planetary system that humanity needs for its survival? To respond to the wake-up call, three crucial steps are outlined: (1) urgently working to understand the nature of the looming threats, from a chemistry perspective; (2) harnessing the ingenuity and innovation that are central to the practice of chemistry to develop sustainable solutions; and (3) transforming chemistry itself, in education, research and industry, to re-position it as 'chemistry for sustainability' and lead the stewardship of the world's chemical resources. This will require conservation of material stocks in forms that remain available for use, through attention to circularity, as well as strengthening engagement in systems-based approaches to designing chemistry research and processes informed by convergent working with many other disciplines.

Abstract
Superbase ionic liquids (ILs) with a trihexyltetradecylphosphonium cation and a benzimidazolide ([P66614][Benzim]) or tetrazolide ([P66614][Tetz]) anion were investigated in a dual-IL system allowing the selective capture and separation of CO2 and SO2, respectively, under realistic gas concentrations. The results show that [P66614][Tetz] is capable of efficiently capturing SO2 in preference to CO2 and thus, in a stepwise separation process, protects [P66614][Benzim] from the negative effects of the highly acidic contaminant. This results in [P66614][Benzim] maintaining >53% of its original CO2 uptake capacity after 30 absorption/desorption cycles in comparison to the 89% decrease observed after 11 cycles when [P66614][Tetz] was not present. Characterization of the ILs post exposure revealed that small amounts of SO2 were irreversibly absorbed to the [Benzim]- anion responsible for the decrease in CO2 capacity. While optimization of this dual-IL system is required, this feasibility study demonstrates that [P66614][Tetz] is a suitable sorbent for reversibly capturing SO2 and significantly extending the lifetime of [P66614][Benzim] for CO2 uptake.

Abstract
The aim of the present work is the recycling treatment of tubular α-Al2O3-supported ceramic membranes with a Pd/Ag selective layer, employed in hydrogen production with integrated CO2 capture. A nitric acid leaching treatment was investigated, and recovered ceramic supports were characterized, demonstrating their suitability for the production of novel efficient membranes. The main objective was the metal dissolution that preserved the support integrity in order to allow the recovered membrane to be suitable for a new deposition of the selective layer. The conditions that obtained a satisfactory dissolution rate of the Pd/Ag layer while avoiding the support to be damaged are as follows: nitric acid 3 M, 60 °C and 3.5 h of reaction time. The efficiency of the recovered supports was determined by nitrogen permeance and surface roughness analysis, and the economic figures were analysed to evaluate the convenience of the regeneration process and the advantage of a recycled membrane over a new membrane. The experimentation carried out demonstrates the proposed process feasibility both in terms of recycling and economic results.

The Global Carbon Footprint and How New Carbon Mineralization Technologies Can Be Used to Reduce CO2 Emissions. CHEMENGINEERING 2022.

Abstract
Carbon dioxide is a byproduct of our industrial society. It is released into the atmosphere, which has an adverse effect on the environment. Carbon dioxide management is necessary to limit the global average temperature increase to 1.5 degrees Celsius and mitigate the effects of climate change, as outlined in the Paris Agreement. To accomplish this objective realistically, the emissions gap must be closed by 2030. Additionally, 10–20 Gt of CO2 per year must be removed from the atmosphere within the next century, necessitating large-scale carbon management strategies. The present procedures and technologies for CO2 carbonation, including direct and indirect carbonation and certain industrial instances, have been explored in length. This paper highlights novel technologies to capture CO2, convert it to other valuable products, and permanently remove it from the atmosphere. Additionally, the constraints and difficulties associated with carbon mineralization have been discussed. These techniques may permanently remove the CO2 emitted due to industrial society, which has an unfavorable influence on the environment, from the atmosphere. These technologies create solutions for both climate change and economic development.

Abstract
Carbon capture on-board ships represents a powerful technological measure in order for the shipping industry to meet the very stringent GHG emission reduction requirements. Operation within the ship environment introduces a number of constraints associated mainly with space, energy supply, and safety which have to be addressed using compact yet efficient solutions. To this end, solvent-based membrane CO2 capture offers several advantages and has the necessary technological maturity for on-board installation. Solvent choice remains a critical issue both for reasons associated with process efficiency as well as on-board safety. In this paper, we present an up-to-date comprehensive review of the different solvents that can be used for post-combustion CO2 capture. Furthermore, we investigated the solvents’ performance as determined by their inherent characteristics, properties, and behavior for a range of operating conditions against the strict shipping requirements. A preliminary qualitative comparative assessment was carried out based on appropriately selected key performance indicators (KPIs) pertinent to the requirements of the shipping industry. The identified solvent classes were compared using the most critical KPIs for system integration with the ship. It was concluded that at present, no solvent category can efficiently address all the requirements of the ship. However, widely used solvents such as secondary amines showed relatively good compatibility with the majority of the introduced KPIs. On the other hand, more recently developed molecules, such as phase change solvents and ionic liquids, can easily prevail over the vast majority of the identified solvents as long as they are brought to the same level of technological maturity with benchmark solvents. Such a conclusion points toward the need for accelerating research on more tailor-made and performance-targeted solvents.

Abstract
The rise of carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in the atmosphere emphasises the need for improving the current carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology. A conventional absorption method that utilises amine-based solvent is known to cause corrosion to process equipment. The solvent is easily degraded and has high energy requirement for regeneration. Amino acids are suitable candidates to replace traditional alkanolamines attributed to their identical amino functional group. In addition, amino acid salt is a green material due to its extremely low toxicity, low volatility, less corrosive, and high efficiency to capture CO2. Previous studies have shown promising results in CO2 capture using amino acids salts solutions and amino acid ionic liquids. Currently, amino acid solvents are also utilised to enhance the adsorption capacity of solid sorbents. This systematic review is the first to summarise the currently available amino acid-based adsorbents for CO2 capture using PRISMA method. Physical and chemical properties of the adsorbents that contribute to effective CO2 capture are thoroughly discussed. A total of four categories of amino acid-based adsorbents are evaluated for their CO2 adsorption capacities. The regeneration studies are briefly discussed and several limitations associated with amino acid-based adsorbents for CO2 capture are presented before the conclusion.

Abstract
The need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions dictates the search for new methods and materials. Here, a novel type of inorganic–organic hybrid materials Fe@MWCNT-OH/SPEEK (with a new type of CNT characterized by increased iron content, 5.80 wt%) for CO2 separation is presented. The introduction of nanofillers into a polymer matrix has significantly improved hybrid membrane gas transport (D, P, S, and αCO2/N2), and magnetic, thermal, and mechanical parameters. It was found that magnetic casting has improved the alignment and dispersion of Fe@MWCNT-OH carbon nanotubes. At the same time, CNT and polymer chemical modification enhanced interphase compatibility and membrane CO2 separation efficiency. The thermooxidative stability, and mechanical and magnetic parameters of composites were improved by increasing new CNT loading. Cherazi's model turned out to be suitable for describing the CO2 transport through analyzed hybrid membranes. The comparison of the transport and separation properties of the tested membranes with the literature data indicates their potential application in the future and the direction of further research. Fe@MWCNT-OH/SPEEK hybrid membranes for CO2 separation! Significant improvement of hybrid membrane's gas transport, magnetic, thermal, and mechanical parameters. Enhancement of interphase compatibility after CNT and polymer chemical modification.![]()

Abstract
In the context of climate change and the reduction in CO2 emissions from fossil fuel combustion, the integration of CO2 capture technologies in steam power plants is a key solution. The aim of this study was to analyze the use of ammonia, at different mass concentrations, in capturing post-combustion CO2 in a coal-fired power station and comparing it with the reference 30% MEA case. In this regard, a multi-criteria model was developed to establish the optimal solvent used, considering the least impact on technical performance, economic, and environmental indicators. As a result, the lowest CO2 capture cost was obtained for the CO2 capture process based on 7% NH3, with 59.07 €/tCO2. Integration of the CO2 capture process is more economically viable when the CO2 emissions tax is higher than 70 €/tCO2 for 7% NH3 and 15% NH3, 80 €/tCO2 for 5% NH3 and 30% MEA, and 90 €/tCO2 for 2% NH3. Regarding the overall efficiency, the energy penalty associated with the CO2 capture process integration varied between 15 and 35%, and the lowest value was obtained for 15% NH3. The GWP indicator ranged between 113 and 149 kg_CO2_eq/MWh for NH3 compared to MEA 133 kg_CO2_eq/MWh and the case with no CO2 capture was 823 kg_CO2_eq/MWh.

Abstract
Reduction of greenhouse gases emissions is a key challenge for the power generation industry, requiring the implementation of new designs and methods of electricity generation. This article presents a design solution for a novel thermodynamic cycle with two new devices—namely, a wet combustion chamber and a spray-ejector condenser. In the proposed cycle, high temperature occurs in the combustion chamber because of fuel combustion by pure oxygen. As a consequence of the chemical reaction and open water cooling, a mixture of H2O and CO2 is produced. The resulting working medium expands in one turbine that combines the advantages of gas turbines (high turbine inlet temperatures) and steam turbines (full expansion to vacuum). Moreover, the main purpose of the spray-ejector condenser is the simultaneous condensation of water vapour and compression of CO2 from condensing pressure to about 1 bar. The efficiency of the proposed cycle has been estimated at 37.78%. COM-GAS software has been used for computational flow mechanics simulations. The calculation considers the drop in efficiency due to air separation unit, carbon capture, and spray-ejector condenser processes. The advantage of the proposed cycle is its compactness that can be achieved by replacing the largest equipment in the steam unit. The authors make reference to a steam generator, a conventional steam condenser, and the steam-gas turbine. Instead of classical heat exchanger equipment, the authors propose non-standard devices, such as a wet combustion chamber and spray-ejector condenser.

Abstract
We report a theoretical investigation of the adsorption and activation properties of CO2 on eight-atom 3 d, 4 d, and 5 d transition-metal (TM) clusters based on density functional theory calculations. From our results and analyses, in the lowest energy configurations, CO2 binds via a chemisorption mechanism on Fe, Co, Ni, Ru, Rh, Pd, Os, Ir, and Pt (adsorption energy from −0.49 eV on Pt up to −1.40 eV on Os), where CO2 breaks its linearity and adopts an angular configuration due to the charge transfer from the clusters toward the C atom in the adsorbed CO2. In contrast, it binds via physisorption on Cu, Ag, and Au and maintains its linearity due to a negligible charge transfer toward CO2 and has a small adsorption energy (from −0.17 eV on Cu up to −0.18 eV on Ag). There is an energetic preference for twofold bridge TM sites, which favors binding of C with two TM atoms, which enhances the charge transfer ten times than on the top TM sites (onefold). We identified that the strength of the CO2–TM8 interaction increases when the energy values of the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) of the TM8 are closer to the energy values of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital of CO2, which contributes to maximize the charge transfer toward the molecule. Beyond the energy position of the HOMO states, the delocalization of 5 d orbitals plays an important role in the adsorption strength in TM, especially for the iron group, e.g., the adsorption energies are −1.08 eV (Fe, 3 d), −1.19 eV (Ru, 4 d), and −1.40 eV (Os, 5 d).

Abstract
The current development of chemical looping combustion (CLC) technology is presented in this paper. This technique of energy conversion enables burning of hydrocarbon fuels with dramatically reduced CO2 emission into the atmosphere, since the inherent separation of carbon dioxide takes place directly in a combustion unit. In the beginning, the general idea of the CLC process is described, which takes advantage of solids (so-called oxygen carriers) being able to transport oxygen between combustion air and burning fuel. The main groups of oxygen carriers (OC) are characterized and compared, which are Fe-, Mn-, Cu-, Ni-, and Co-based materials. Moreover, different constructions of reactors tailored to perform the CLC process are described, including fluidized-bed reactors, swing reactors, and rotary reactors. The whole systems are based on the chemical looping concept, such as syngas CLC (SG-CLC), in situ Gasification CLC (iG-CLC), chemical looping with oxygen uncoupling (CLOU), and chemical looping reforming (CLR), are discussed as well. Finally, a comparison with other pro-CCS (carbon capture and storage) technologies is provided.
