From CO2 emissions to Fuels and Chemicals: Current Development, Challenges and Perspectives
21 January 2022
Capturing CO2 via Direct Air Capture using solid amine adsorbents is an important option to reduce CO2 emissions. In their study, Schellevis, Jakobs & Brilmans evaluated the possibility of a continuous adsorption process for direct air capture in a radial flow contactor, with both batch and continuous operation. They found a 15-25% lower capture efficiency for a continuous process compared to a batch process. This decrease in gas-solid contact efficiency is more pronounced with longer adsorption time and higher surface gas velocity. Overall, a batch process is preferable to a continuous process in most operating conditions.
