Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These proceedings contain 270 papers outlining ideas and contributions to the new scientific, technical and political discipline of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Control. The contributions were presented at the 4th International Conference on Greenhouse Gas Control Technologies (GHGT-4). It was the largest gathering of experts active in this new and fast-developing field.GHGT-4 was different from its predecessors in that it included all greenhouse gases, not only CO2, and all issues which could contribute to the mitigation of the greenhouse problem - technical, economic and political. The main focus was on practical solutions and real demonstrations of mitigation technology being planned and implemented today. It also addressed ways to increase the efficiency of power production and utilisation, and looked at proposals to encourage the development of renewable energy sources.During the Opening Session, 10 keynote addresses were heard from prominent personalities in government, industry and academia. To tackle this very inter-disciplinary problem and to achieve acceptable solutions, it is essential for industry and government to initiate intense dialogue and cooperation. Conferences like this can provide the opportunity for a meeting of minds between engineers and politicians in the face of global challenge. The primary attributes of this global challenge are manifold: the problem is global and international; it is inter-disciplinary, both in substance and approach; it covers technical, political and economic issues and involves government, science, industry and academia; it is complex and non-linear; and it will take the efforts of all parties involved to solve the problem.These proceedings contain ideas for starting demonstration projects and for making better use of the power and flexibility of market measures. They also show it is a problem we can influence and that there is a wealth of ideas. The challenge now is to find the right partners to put these ideas into action.

Download or read book Carbon Dioxide Chemistry Capture and Oil Recovery written by Iyad Karamé and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2018-08-16 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fossil fuels still need to meet the growing demand of global economic development, yet they are often considered as one of the main sources of the CO2 release in the atmosphere. CO2, which is the primary greenhouse gas (GHG), is periodically exchanged among the land surface, ocean, and atmosphere where various creatures absorb and produce it daily. However, the balanced processes of producing and consuming the CO2 by nature are unfortunately faced by the anthropogenic release of CO2. Decreasing the emissions of these greenhouse gases is becoming more urgent. Therefore, carbon sequestration and storage (CSS) of CO2, its utilization in oil recovery, as well as its conversion into fuels and chemicals emerge as active options and potential strategies to mitigate CO2 emissions and climate change, energy crises, and challenges in the storage of energy.

Download or read book Development of Green CO2 Capture Technologies Using Immobilized Carbonic Anhydrase Enzyme written by Hannaneh Rasouli Kenari and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anthropogenic activities have significantly enhanced the amount of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere and are a major contributor to global warming. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a primary greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change. Various technologies are being explored across the world to tackle CO2 capture and sequestration. Despite their efficiency, amine-based solutions have negative environmental impact and the process is energy intensive. CO2 absorption using carbonic anhydrase (CA) enzyme as catalyst (free insolution or immobilized) is a promising technology which offers high selectivity and efficiency in CO2 capture processes by using nontoxic and more energy efficient solvents. CA is a well-known biocatalyst endowed with an extraordinary turnover number (TON), which offers to it a very high capacity to boost CO2 hydration. CA immobilization on solid surfaces enhances the enzyme stability, and reusability and provides the ability for easy separation of the reaction products without biocatalyst contamination. In this context, the present thesis focuses on the investigation of CO2 absorption process using immobilized CA in different bioreactors. More specifically, the main objectives are: i) developing an enhanced enzymatic process with immobilized CA enzyme in a packed-bedcolumn bioreactor, ii) studying the CO2 absorption in membrane contactor with immobilized CA enzyme on membrane surface, and iii) proposing a novel hybrid enzymatic process in an intensified flat sheet membrane contactor for improving CO2 absorption via immobilized CA enzyme on both membrane and magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs). An improved CA immobilization technique was developed in this work using two steps: (i) co-deposition of Polydopamine (PDA)/Polyethyleneimine (PEI) with amino functional groups for amine-functionalization of surfaces and (ii) covalent enzyme immobilization on the aminated surfaces using glutaraldehyde. The proposed approach is appealing because ofits simplicity, abundant amine functionalities of PEI, and great adhesion capacity of PDA during surface functionalization process, as well as the stability and reusability of immobilized enzyme via covalent bonding. A hybrid enzymatic process with CA enzyme immobilized on packing surface and MNPs dispersed in the liquid absorbent (water) was developed in a gas-liquid packed-bed column bioreactor. CA was immobilized on amine functionalized surface of MNPs and packings via covalent attachments. Even after 40 days of storage in buffer solution, the immobilized CA on packing and MNPs showed remarkable stability, retaining 80% and 84.7% of its original activity, respectively. Since the enzyme immobilized on MNPs operates as a free solution-phase enzyme, the CO2 hydration process improved significantly, specially when the diffusion limitation in the enzymatic process with immobilized CA enzyme on the packing surface was significant. CA enzyme immobilized on polypropylene (PP) flat sheet membrane surface via co-deposition of PDA/PEI through covalent bonding method showed the highest activity and preserved most of its initial activity after 40 days (82.3%). A CO2 absorption flux of 0.29×10-3 mol/m2s was attained by integrating the biocatalytic membrane into a flat sheet membrane contactor (FSMC) using water as absorbent. Stable CO2 absorption rate was obtained during a longer time operation (6 hours), illustrating its potential for industrial applications. Mass transfer resistance in partially liquid-filled membrane pores was shown to be reduced by the catalyzed CO2 hydration in these pores in the presence of immobilized CA. CO2 absorption in flat sheet membrane contactor with immobilized CA on membrane surface was intensified by the incorporation of immobilized CA on the surface of MNPs dispersed in the liquid phase. CO2 absorption process was improved due to the presence of biocatalytic MNPs, which act as a free solution-phase enzyme. CA was covalently immobilized on amine-functionalized MNPs surface. The proposed innovative hybrid enzymatic process in the intensified membrane contactor improved the CO2 absorption by maximizing the utilization of CA’s large TON, specially at lower CA loadings on the biocatalytic membrane. Immobilized membrane and MNPs demonstrated their reusability and retained their initial activities even after 10 absorption cycles. The intensified membrane contactor also displayed a stable operation for several hours. In conclusion, the results achieved in our work illustrate that CO2 capture using immobilized CA can offer a cost-effective, green, and environmentally friendly strategy, representing an attracting alternative to customary technologies using amine-based absorbents. With the growing environmental crisis, enzymatic CO2 capture technologies are becoming more important, prompting more attempts to implement them on industrial scales.

Download or read book Carbon Dioxide Absorption Into Aqueous Ammonia in a Hollow Fiber Membrane Contactor written by Zheng Cui and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chemical absorption has been considered as a promising technology for carbon dioxide (CO2) capture from different industrial waste gases. However, this technology has not been widely commercialized due to its high capital and operational costs, especially the cost for solvent regeneration. Studies have been focused on developing more efficient gas/liquid contactors or superior solvents that require less energy for regeneration. Aqueous ammonia (NH3) has been recently studied as a CO2 absorption solvent in many traditional gas/liquid contactors due to its lower cost and low energy requirement for solvent regeneration compared to traditional amine solutions. Since membrane contactors offer more advantages than traditional gas/liquid contactors, it could be more efficient and economic to capture CO2 using aqueous ammonia as a solvent in a membrane contactor. However, little research has been reported in this field. The main objective of this research is to investigate the CO2 absorption performance of aqueous ammonia in a hollow fiber membrane contactor. In order to achieve this research goal, a number of lab-scale CO2 absorption experiments were conducted using aqueous ammonia and monoethanolamine (MEA) as absorption solvents in a membrane contactor fitted with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) hollow fiber membranes at ambient temperatures. The CO2 absorption performance was evaluated in terms of the volumetric overall mass transfer coefficient (KGav) under different operating parameters. The absorption performance of aqueous ammonia was compared to that of MEA solvent under the same experimental conditions. The longterm membrane stability was evaluated by continuously running the CO2 absorption experiments using aqueous ammonia as a solvent for up to ten hours.
