Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is recognised as one of the key technologies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from industrial plants. Currently, the most established technology is chemical absorption with amines, but ...

Phase change solvents represent a new class of CO2 absorbents with a promising potential to reduce the energy penalty associated with CO2 capture. However, their high volatility is a major concern for their use at the ...

The effect of liquid viscosity on the performance of a non-porous membrane contactor is important to study for a proper solvent selection and process design. In this work, the overall mass transfer coefficient for MEA- and ...

Membrane technology for CO2/H2 separation, especially when using CO2-selective membranes to keep H2 on the high-pressure retentate side, has been considered promising and energy-efficient for further H2 transport and ...

Nanocellulose is a promising and sustainable biobased nanomaterial because of its excellent mechanical properties, biocompatibility, natural abundance, and especially its high aspect ratio. Interest in applying nanocellulose ...

Alarming increase in global CO2 emissions warrants acceleration of CO2 capture technologies. In this work, testing of pre-pilot scale membrane modules containing hybrid facilitated transport membranes in hollow fiber ...

Nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC) represents an important class of bio-based nanomaterials that possess favorable properties including hydrophilicity, 1D structure, biodegradability, and surface tunability. Although widely ...

One of the major issues encountered in the Post Combustion CO2 Capture processes is the degradation of the solvent which can be in great part attributed to the presence of oxygen in the solution. The present report focuses ...

The transition toward sustainable processing entails the use of biobased alternatives as functional materials to reduce the overall carbon footprint. Nanocellulose, due to its natural availability, biodegradability, excellent ...

Urgent actions are needed to reduce CO2 emissions and mitigate the increasingly severe impacts of climate change. Since the 1990s, the membrane research group (MEMFO) at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology ...
