The key challenge in postcombustion capture from gas-fired power plants is related to the low CO2 concentration flue gas (4–8% by volume). This means that conventional amine processes will result a relatively high energy penalty, whereas novel adsorbents and adsorption have potential improve efficiency of separation. High-selectivity are required achieve uptake at partial pressures, which separation process should be based on either very strong physisorption or chemisorption with thermal regeneration. From point view, main develop efficient rapid cycles. In this report we present detailed overview methodology behind development materials as part "Adsorption Materials Processes for Gas-fired plants" (AMPGas) project. Examples wide variety tested presented, design an innovative bench-scale 12-column rotary wheel adsorber system discussed. strategy design, characterize, test (zeolites, amine-containing MOFs, amine-based silicas, activated carbons, carbon nanotubes), specifically designed dilute streams presented.
