Applying Phase-Change Materials (PCM) to Enhance the Performance of Carbon Dioxide Adsorption Using Hollow Fibers

摘要

The challenges posed by carbon capture and storage (CCS) have motivated an increasing interest in the last years to investigate new materials and process alternatives. Adsorption-based separations have the potential to cope with this task in an economically and technically feasible way. A key factor to the success in the application of these processes relies on the development of suitable adsorbent materials, with high adsorptive capacity and selectivity. It has been demonstrated experimentally that metal-organic frameworks (MOF) display a significant adsorptive capacity for carbon dioxide at cryogenic temperatures in the range of 233 K to 273 K.
