HTTP:: New CCS Method Efficiently Captures CO2
--------
Experts from the US Department of Energy's (DOE) Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) have recently proposed a new method of separating carbon dioxide from the emission pertaining to fossil fuel-powered plants, which is both more efficient and cleaner than the existing one. The new screening method involves the use of ionic liquids, which are, essentially, special salts that become liquid at temperatures under 100 degrees Celsius, the boiling point of water. Details of the innovation appear in the latest issue of the new, chemistry and sustainability-focused journal ChemSusChem.The capture process, namely the extraction of carbon dioxide from the other gases in plant-generated smoke, is the most essential part of the whole carbon-capture and -sequestration process (CCS), which is now widely touted as an effective solution of reducing pollution in the short term. In this process, the dangerous greenhouse gas is separated from all other constituents, and then directe!
d to underground storage facilities, where isolation prevents it from spreading into the atmosphere.The existent methods, which make use of the general-purpose solvent monoethanolamine (MEA), is only marginally effective at moderate CO2 pressures, and even less so at high pressures. Additional...
