Technology Options for CO 2 Adsorption

A promising form of post-combustion technology is CO2 adsorption. In recent years there has been very substantial research activity on sorbent materials for CO2 adsorption. Much less attention has been given to issue of process design. In order to have a successful capture process it is important to simultaneously consider both sorbent material and process, different processes will require different sorbent materials to perform optimally. We will review different CO2 adsorption processes with a focus on those being actively pursued. We will look at promising options and discuss areas where further development is required.
