Abstract Scope |
The molten carbonate based multiphase membranes for CO2 capture/separation/conversion have been researched for nearly fifteen years. The major advantages of this class of CO2 transport membranes (CTMs) are that the capture process is purely chemical potential driven and thus electricity free and they are not subject to “Robeson Upper Bound “ rule due to their electrochemical transport nature. Early laboratory studies with 15%CO2 in the feedstock have shown these CTMs with high CO2 flux at very high selectivity. Recently, efficiently capturing low-concentration (4-5%) of CO2 from natural gas flue gas has become urgent. Here in this presentation, we show a new class of CTMs well suited for this purpose. |
