Review on recent progress in post-combustion carbon dioxide capture using carbonaceous and non-carbonaceous materials in fixed-bed adsorption column

Abstract

The rapid industrialization relying on fossil fuel burning has escalated the greenhouse gases (GHGs) emissions issue impacting the environment and mankind negatively. Post-combustion capture (PCC) through fixed bed adsorption technology can participate in achieving the zero GHGs emissions goals by 2050 and stabilizing global interval temperature rise. This review explores the recent developments in the performance of carbonaceous and non-carbonaceous adsorbents in PCC fixed bed adsorption systems relying on the adsorbents' characterization properties, the breakthrough experiments, which were analyzed via their influential factors, such as the adsorption temperature, CO2 feed concentration, and feed flow rate, and the regeneration ability. Great advances have been recorded for PCC fixed bed adsorption, however, the capture of quite low concentrations of CO2 has not been illustrated comprehensively enough. Future studies need to offer more reliability to the suggested adsorbents for large-scale implementation via life cycle assessment and environmental impact assessment studies.
