Carbon dioxide (CO2) capture from flue gas generated by fossil fuel-fired power plants has been proposed as an efficient approach to limit CO2 emissions to the atmosphere. Due to the high cyclic CO2 sorption capacity, well-tuned adsorption chemistry and non-volatility, solid sorbents are widely studied for CO2 capture processes such as pressure swing adsorption (PSA) and temperature swing adsorption (TSA). Realistic applications of traditional solid sorbent systems face many challenges since moisture and heat management are problematic and solid-solid heat exchange is inefficient. Recently, a novel solid sorbent system, the sorbent polymer composite (SPC), has been developed to overcome those challenges in an energy-saving CO2 capture process using TSA membrane contactors. A SPC material is comprised of a powdered solid sorbent embedded into a hydrophobic and porous polymer matrix. It allows gases to permeate through and achieve full contact with the sorbents while rejecting water moisture in the CO2 capture process. In this collaborative research, NETL will conduct performance testing of a novel SPC material and EPRI will conduct a cost analysis based on that performance data.
