Abstract

Literature search has revealed that most post-combustion CO2 capture processes available to power plants are hinged on sorption technologies (chemical absorption and desorption) which are cost and energy-intensive. The colossal cost of solvents used for the absorption of CO2, the high energy requirements for the absorption & solvent recovery processes, plant design & control related complications, and environmental concerns about the solvents are some of the challenges associated with this option of postcombustion CO2 capture approach which is widely being adopted to mitigate CO2 emissions from power plants. In this study, the capture of CO2 from flue gas by exploring the concept of change of state of matter, which is essentially a physical approach to CO2capture, is presented as an alternative to the typical methods in the industry.
