Adsorption in CCS technologies
editTypical adsorbents used in carbon capture and sequestration are zeolites and MOFs[1]. The customization of adsorbents makes them an attractive alternative to absorption. Because adsorbents can be regenerated by temperature or pressure swing, this step can be less energy intensive than absorption regeneration methods[2]. Major problems that are present with adsorption cost in carbon capture are: regenerating the adsorbent, mass ratio, solvent/MOF, cost of adsorbent, production of the adsorbent, lifetime of adsorbent[3].
Current industrial use of adsorption in carbon capture is limited to the company, Inventys. Inventys currently uses VeloxoTherm™, a design process that makes adsorption feasible on the industrial scale.
