Abstract

Greenhouse gas emission typically carbon dioxide which result to global warming is becoming a very acute issue to human society. In order to achieve a sustainable development and society, various approaches to reduce carbon emission have been investigated and applied to industry where the majority of carbon emission happens in recent decays. Carbon capture is one of the key ways to address the emission and widely applied to coal-fired power plants. However, typically carbon capture process requires high energy input during the absorption and desorption process with lead to a low net carbon captured rate and high cost of operation. Materials with low energy penalty and high carbon affinity is desired to address this problem. In this research, a more advanced material, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), for carbon capture under post combustion condition is introduced and evaluated from single material and cooperating with mixed-matrix-membranes to achieve membrane separation. Furthermore, MOFs are usually lack of stability and CO₂/H₂O selectivity. CALF-20 as the solution to these problems will be introduced later.
