In this Phase 1 project, Vuronyx Technologies investigated the use of a high surface area carbon for adsorption of carbon dioxide. Current industry practice of CO2 capture is by using amine-based scrubbing systems via absorption–regeneration technology. The amine solvent binds with the CO2 generated during coal combustion in the absorption reactor, and is sent to a stripper column for solvent regeneration and recycling. The separated CO2 is then cooled and transported for compression and sequestration. Amine based CO2 removal is energy intensive and not costeffective due to the energy penalty associated with the stripping of CO2 and regeneration of solvent.
