Nano-interface enhanced CO2 absorption and mechanism analysis

• CO2 capture and separation (CCS) is a key step to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and develop renewable energy. The trade-off between the rate and efficiency in the CO2 separation process cannot be solved with the traditional process intensification. Using nano-interface to realize process intensification has been widely used in the chemical process with multi-phase transfer, and CO2 separation is one of examples. This review summarizes the research work from the establishment of CO2 transfer model at nano-interface and the resistance regulation, the acquisition of the CO2 chemical potentials at equilibrium and at the nano-interface (the driving force regulation) and the molecular simulation analysis of the interface enhancement mechanism. Based on the theoretical studies, the resistance distribution for the CO2 separation process in a real absorption tower is further analyzed and a "three-stage strengthening scheme" is proposed to decrease the investment and operating costs. © All Right Reserved.
