Improvements to Membrane Technology Facilitates Better Carbon Capture
21st Century Tech
MAY 22, 2022
A team of scientists have re-engineered membrane technology to make it 150 times more efficient in capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) in gas mixtures leaving coal and natural-gas-fired thermal power plants. Their invention is described in a paper appearing in the journal Science. The challenge with using membranes to filter CO2 from air streams involves a tradeoff between specific selectivity and flow-through speeds.
