Structuring of Porous Materials for Carbon Capture

Activity: Talks and presentations › Conference presentations

Description

The structuring of advanced porous materials into suitable shape is crucial to achieve high performance in many energy and environmental applications, such as in gas separation & storage, air filtration and energy conversion & storage applications. The development of hierarchical porous materials for carbon capture applications, such as for biogas upgrading, post-combustion capture and Direct Air Capture (DAC), are presented. The separation of CO2 from a gas stream in post-combustion capture, in direct air capture or in biogas upgrading can be achieved by Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) or by Thermal Swing Adsorption (TSA). For these applications, different concepts for the structuring of zeolites and metal organic frameworks (MOFs) into hierarchical porous granules or nanofiber structures have been evaluated, utilizing traditional and advanced processing methods, such as shear granulation and electrospinning. The influence of the type and structure of the hierarchical porous sorbents on the microstructure and key performance parameters, such as CO2 uptake, selectivity, mass transfer kinetics and thermal conductivity are discussed.
