Enhancing CO 2 capture in cement-based materials with alkanolamines: A comprehensive study on efficiency, phase-specific impact, and carbonation mechanisms. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 957:177463. [PMID: 39528209 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.177463] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2024] [Revised: 10/10/2024] [Accepted: 11/07/2024] [Indexed: 11/16/2024]
Abstract
The escalating issue of global warming, driven by the surge in CO2 emissions, necessitates innovative strategies for reducing CO2 emissions. A novel approach is explored in this study, where amines featuring a basic N atom with a lone pair are incorporated into cement paste to facilitate CO2 capture from the environment. Unlike conventional applications, the focus is on the collaborative effect of various amines on CO2 capture within diverse calcium-rich phases, encompassing portlandite and Calcium-Silicate-Hydrate (C-S-H). This investigation seeks to discern the most efficient amine and optimal concentration for CO2 capture, particularly within distinct phases of cement paste. Notably, 2-(methylamino) ethanol (MAE) demonstrates superior performance in promoting CO₂ mineralisation and has been selected to further evaluate its ability in cement paste under natural carbonation conditions. Importantly, this research presents an exhaustive analysis of C-S-H carbonation with varying Ca/Si ratios, revealing carbonation mechanisms and consequential microstructural alterations in the presence of amine. Additionally, the presence of amine significantly influences crystal growth and the polymerisation of C-S-H. Furthermore, natural carbonation experiments underscore the efficacy of MAE, showcasing a 2.5-fold increase in calcite formation in the cement paste compared to scenarios without MAE.

Abstract
This research presents the utilization of an enhanced Sine cosine perturbation with Chaotic perturbation and Mirror imaging strategy-based Salp Swarm Algorithm (SCMSSA), which incorporates three improvement mechanisms, to enhance the convergence accuracy and speed of the optimization algorithm. The study assesses the SCMSSA algorithm's performance against other optimization algorithms using six test functions to show the efficacy of the enhancement strategies. Furthermore, its efficacy in improving Support Vector Regression (SVR) models for CO2 prediction is assessed. The results reveal that the SVR-SCMSSA hybrid model surpasses other hybrid models and standard SVR in terms of training and prediction accuracy by obtaining 95 % accuracy. Its swift convergence, precision, and resistance to local optima position make it an excellent choice for addressing complex problems such as CO2 prediction, with critical implications for sustainability efforts. Moreover, feature importance analysis by SVR-SCMSSA offers valuable insights into the key contributors to CO2 prediction in the dataset, emphasizing the significance and impact of factors such as fossil fuel, Biomass, and Wood as major contributors to CO2 emission. The research suggests the adoption of the SVR-SCMSSA hybrid model for more accurate and reliable CO2 prediction to researchers and policymakers, which is essential for environmental sustainability and climate change mitigation.

Abstract
A majority of the primary contributors of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions into the environment have really been out of human-made activities. The levels of CO2 in the atmosphere have increased substantially since the time of the industrial revolution. This has been linked to the use of fossil fuels for energy production, as well as the widespread production of some industrial components like cement and the encroaching destruction of forests. An extreme approach is now necessary to develop the right policies and address the local and global environmental issues in the right way. In this regard, CO2 capturing, utilization, and storage are reliable options that industrial facilities can initiate to overcome this problem. Therefore, we have evaluated the two leading technologies that are used for carbon capture: direct (pre-combustion, post-combustion, and oxy-combustion) and indirect carbon (reforestation, enhanced weathering, bioenergy with carbon capture, and agricultural practices) capturing to provide their current status and progresses. Among the considered processes, the post-combustion techniques are widely utilized on a commercial scale, especially in industrial applications. Technology readiness level (TRL) results have showed that amine solvents, pressure-vacuum swing adsorption, and gas separation membranes have the highest TRL value of 9. In addition, the environmental impact assessment methods have been ranked to evaluate their sustainability levels. The highest global warming potential of 219.53 kgCO2 eq./MWh has been obtained for the post-combustion process. Overall, through this comprehensive review, we have identified some critical research gaps in the open literature in the field of CO2-capturing methods where there are strong needs for future research and technology development studies, for instance, developing stable and cost-effective liquid solvents and improving the adsorption capacity of commercialized sorbents. Furthermore, some research areas, like novel process design, environmental and economic impact assessment of capturing methods with different chemicals and modeling and simulation studies, will require further effort to demonstrate the developed technologies for pilot and commercial-scale applications.

Abstract
Due to concerns over rising emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) from fossil fuel utilization, there has been a strong emphasis on the development of a safe, economical, practical method of carbon capture utilization and storage (CCUS). One way to reduce these CO2 emissions is underground geological sequestration in depleted oil fields or exhausted reservoirs. CO2 injection into oil reservoirs is an established technology, these reservoirs not only offer the potential for high storage of CO2 but this process could also target a large amount of oil and gas recovery through a technique called enhanced oil recovery (EOR). The main objective of this research was to evaluate the storage potential of CO2 in the depleted oil field while also investigating the effect of CO2 injection on reservoir pressure maintenance, and additional oil and gas recovery, in the same field. This paper presented the model of CO2 flooding based on the CO2 displacement mechanism with different scenarios of natural depletion, CO2 injection, and water injection simulated by the ECLIPSE 300 reservoir simulator, and the results of different scenarios were compared. Results of this study showed the site selected for CO2 injection has the potential to store more than 9 billion cubic feet (BCF) of CO2 in each case and witnessed improved gas recovery, while also having a major effect on reservoir pressure maintenance where pressure increased from 2120 psi to 6584 psi. The finding of this work ought to help in preparing for future improvement in underground geological sequestration of CO2 in depleted fields with the same field specifications.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 903:166108. [PMID: 37567281 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.166108] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2023] [Revised: 07/29/2023] [Accepted: 08/05/2023] [Indexed: 08/13/2023]
Abstract
Population growth and urbanization are driving energy demand. Despite the development of renewable energy technologies, most of this demand is still met by fossil fuels. Flue gases are the main air pollutants from combustion power plants. These pollutants include particulate matter (PM), sulfur oxides (SOx), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and carbon oxides (COx). The release of these pollutants has adverse effects on human health and the environment, including serious damage to the human respiratory system, acid rain, climate change, and global warming. In this review, a wide range of conventional and new technologies that have the potential to be used in the combustion power plant sector to manage and reduce flue gas pollutants have been examined. Nowadays, conventional approaches to emissions control and management, which focus primarily on post-combustion techniques, face several challenges despite their widespread use and commendable effectiveness. Therefore, studies that have proposed alternative approaches to achieve improved and more efficient methods are reviewed. The results show that new advances such as novel PM collectors, attaining an efficiency of nearly 100 % for submicron particles, microwave systems, boasting an efficiency of nearly 90 % for NO and over 95 % for SO2, electrochemical systems achieving above 90 % efficiency for NOx reduction, non-thermal plasma processes demonstrating an efficiency close to 90 % for NOx, microalgae-based methods with efficiency ranging from 80 % to 99 % for CO2, and wet scrubbing, exhibit considerable potential in addressing the shortcomings of conventional systems. Furthermore, the integration of hybrid methods, particularly in regions prioritizing environmental concerns over economic considerations, holds promise for enhanced control and removal of flue gas pollutants with superior efficiency.

Quantitative Structure–Electrochemistry Relationship (QSER) Studies on Metal–Amino–Porphyrins for the Rational Design of CO2 Reduction Catalysts. Molecules 2023; 28:molecules28073105.

Abstract
The quantitative structure–electrochemistry relationship (QSER) method was applied to a series of transition-metal-coordinated porphyrins to relate their structural properties to their electrochemical CO2 reduction activity. Since the reactions mainly occur within the core of the metalloporphyrin catalysts, the cluster model was used to calculate their structural and electronic properties using density functional theory with the M06L exchange–correlation functional. Three dependent variables were employed in this work: the Gibbs free energies of H*, C*OOH, and O*CHO. QSER, with the genetic algorithm combined with multiple linear regression (GA–MLR), was used to manipulate the mathematical models of all three Gibbs free energies. The obtained statistical values resulted in a good predictive ability (R2 value) greater than 0.945. Based on our QSER models, both the electronic properties (charges of the metal and porphyrin) and the structural properties (bond lengths between the metal center and the nitrogen atoms of the porphyrin) play a significant role in the three Gibbs free energies. This finding was further applied to estimate the CO2 reduction activities of the metal–monoamino–porphyrins, which will prove beneficial in further experimental developments.

Abstract
Environmental problems such as greenhouse effect, the consumption of fossil energy, and the increase of human demand for energy are becoming more and more serious, which force researcher to turn their attention to the reduction of CO2 and the development of renewable energy. Unsafety, easy to lead to secondary environmental pollution, cost inefficiency, and other problems limit the development of conventional CO2 capture technology. In recent years, many microorganisms have attracted much attention to capture CO2 and synthesize valuable products directly. Fatty acid derivatives (e.g., fatty acid esters, fatty alcohols, and aliphatic hydrocarbons), which can be used as a kind of environmentally friendly and renewable biofuels, are sustainable substitutes for fossil energy. In this review, conventional CO2 capture techniques pathways, microbial CO2 concentration mechanisms and fixation pathways were introduced. Then, the metabolic pathway and progress of direct production of fatty acid derivatives from CO2 in microbial cell factories were discussed. The synthetic biology means used to design engineering microorganisms and optimize their metabolic pathways were depicted, with final discussion on the potential of optoelectronic-microbial integrated capture and production systems.

Abstract
This work attempts to address the quest of removing carbon dioxide from flue gas streams to help preserve the environment. It is based on a model that is able to describe the solid-liquid-vapour and solid-vapour phase equilibria for the ternary system of N2-O2-CO2 at pressures from 5 to 130 bar and over a wide range of temperature (140 to 220 K). Furthermore, a corresponding state-of-the art solid-vapor (SV) CO2 capture/separation unit is developed and introduced in this work. The SV unit was modeled using the Aspen Custom Modeler software by implementing the thermodynamic model developed before. It was then simulated using the Aspen Plus simulator; its performance was studied and analyzed. Moreover, the performance of the unit was optimized and compared to the most conventional corresponding technology used by the industry (i.e., amine-scrubbing). Results proved that for the same output clean gas composition, which contains only 0.3% CO2, the developed state-of-the-art SV unit consumes almost half of the energy required by the conventional process. Other advantages of the novel SV separation unit include the lower requirement of capital equipment, no need of additional agents (such as solvents) and the avoidance of product contamination with such additional agents.

Abstract
Mercury emission is an important issue during chemical looping combustion (CLC) of coal. The aim of this work is to explore the effects of different flue gas components (e.g., HCl, NO, SO2, and CO2) on mercury transformation in the flue gas cooling process. A two-stage simulation method is used to reveal the reaction mechanism of these gases affecting elemental mercury (Hg0) oxidation. Furthermore, using this method, Hg0 oxidation by eight oxygen carriers (Co3O4, CaSO4, CeO2, Fe2O3, Al2O3, Mn2O3, SiO2, and CuO) commonly used in CLC are investigated and their Hg0 oxidation efficiencies were compared with the existing experimental results. The results show that HCl, NO, and CO2 promote Hg0 oxidation during flue gas cooling, while SO2 inhibits Hg0 oxidation. The stronger the oxygen release capacity of oxygen carriers, the higher the oxidation efficiency of Hg0 becomes. The order of Hg0 removal efficiency from high to low is Co3O4, CuO, Mn2O3, CaSO4, Fe2O3, CeO2, Al2O3, and SiO2, and this sequence is in good agreement with the existing experimental results. Different flue gas components directly or indirectly affect the O2 content, thus affecting the content of gaseous oxidized mercury (Hg2+). Different oxygen carriers have different oxygen release capacities and different Hg0 oxidation efficiencies. Therefore, O2 is the core species affecting the mercury transformation in CLC.

Abstract
Polyoxometalates (POMs) as metal-oxide anions have exceptional properties like high negative charges, remarkable redox abilities, unique ligand properties and availability of organic grafting. Moreover, the amenability of POMs to modification with different materials makes them suitable as precursors to further obtain new composites. Due to their unique attributes, POMs and their composites have been utilized as adsorbents, electrodes and catalysts in extraction, and electrochemical and optical detection methods, respectively. A survey of the recent progress and developments of POM-based materials in these methods is therefore desirable, and should be of great interest. In this review article, POM-based materials, their properties as well as their identification methods, and analytical applications as adsorbents, electrodes and catalysts, and corresponding mechanisms of action, where relevant, are reviewed. Some current issues of the utilization of these materials and their future prospects in analytical chemistry are discussed.

Abstract
The rise of carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in the atmosphere emphasises the need for improving the current carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology. A conventional absorption method that utilises amine-based solvent is known to cause corrosion to process equipment. The solvent is easily degraded and has high energy requirement for regeneration. Amino acids are suitable candidates to replace traditional alkanolamines attributed to their identical amino functional group. In addition, amino acid salt is a green material due to its extremely low toxicity, low volatility, less corrosive, and high efficiency to capture CO2. Previous studies have shown promising results in CO2 capture using amino acids salts solutions and amino acid ionic liquids. Currently, amino acid solvents are also utilised to enhance the adsorption capacity of solid sorbents. This systematic review is the first to summarise the currently available amino acid-based adsorbents for CO2 capture using PRISMA method. Physical and chemical properties of the adsorbents that contribute to effective CO2 capture are thoroughly discussed. A total of four categories of amino acid-based adsorbents are evaluated for their CO2 adsorption capacities. The regeneration studies are briefly discussed and several limitations associated with amino acid-based adsorbents for CO2 capture are presented before the conclusion.

Abstract
As the global climate warms, carbon emissions must be reduced in order to alleviate the human climate crisis. Carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) is an emerging technology that can reduce carbon emissions. However, most of the CCUS projects have ended in failure. The reason can be attributed to insufficient risk assessment. To this end, the purpose of this study is to construct a comprehensive risk assessment model for CCUS projects. The main body of this research is divided into two parts. First, in order to evaluate the CCUS project, a risk indicator system is constructed. In what follows, a decision-making framework for risk assessment under the D numbers environment is proposed, including two stages of decision-making preparation and decision-making process. The main task of the preparation stage is to gather evaluation experts and collect decision-making information. In the decision-making stage, this paper takes the D numbers theory as the core (acting on the effective expression and fusion of subjective evaluation information), respectively, proposes the method of determining the weight of risk evaluators, the fusion method of decision-making information from different experts, and the comprehensive decision model based on the MULTIMOORA method. In order to verify the effectiveness of the constructed model, the case of CCUS project site selection in Shengli power plant is analyzed, and the results showed that the third site is the best option. This study finds the importance of a comprehensive and timely risk assessment for the successful implementation of CCUS projects, and suggests that stakeholders carry out a risk assessment of CCUS projects prior to implementation based on the method presented in this paper, so as to improve the success rate.

Multiparameter Neural Network Modeling of Facilitated Transport Mixed Matrix Membranes for Carbon Dioxide Removal. MEMBRANES 2022; 12:membranes12040421.

Abstract
Membranes for carbon capture have improved significantly with various promoters such as amines and fillers that enhance their overall permeance and selectivity toward a certain particular gas. They require nominal energy input and can achieve bulk separations with lower capital investment. The results of an experiment-based membrane study can be suitably extended for techno-economic analysis and simulation studies, if its process parameters are interconnected to various membrane performance indicators such as permeance for different gases and their selectivity. The conventional modelling approaches for membranes cannot interconnect desired values into a single model. Therefore, such models can be suitably applicable to a particular parameter but would fail for another process parameter. With the help of artificial neural networks, the current study connects the concentrations of various membrane materials (polymer, amine, and filler) and the partial pressures of carbon dioxide and methane to simultaneously correlate three desired outputs in a single model: CO2 permeance, CH4 permeance, and CO2/CH4 selectivity. These parameters help predict membrane performance and guide secondary parameters such as membrane life, efficiency, and product purity. The model results agree with the experimental values for a selected membrane, with an average absolute relative error of 6.1%, 4.2%, and 3.2% for CO2 permeance, CH4 permeance, and CO2/CH4 selectivity, respectively. The results indicate that the model can predict values at other membrane development conditions.

Abstract
Global CO2 concentration level in the air is unprecedently high and should be rapidly and significantly reduced to avoid a global climate catastrophe. The work indicates the possibility of quickly lowering the impact of changes that have already happened and those we know will happen, especially in terms of the CO2 emitted and stored in the atmosphere, by implanting a virgin ivy plant on the available area of walls and roofs of the houses. The proposed concept of reducing CO2 from the atmosphere is one of the technologies with significant potential for implementation entirely and successfully. For the first time, we showed that the proposed concept allows over 3.5 billion tons of CO2 to be captured annually directly from the atmosphere, which makes even up 6.9% of global greenhouse gas emissions. The value constitutes enough high CO2 reduction to consider the concept as one of the applicable technologies allowing to decelerate global warming. Additional advantages of the presented concept are its global nature, it allows for the reduction of CO2 from all emission sources, regardless of its type and location on earth, and the fact that it will simultaneously lower the air temperature, contribute to oxygen production, and reduce dust in the environment.

Abstract
The current development of chemical looping combustion (CLC) technology is presented in this paper. This technique of energy conversion enables burning of hydrocarbon fuels with dramatically reduced CO2 emission into the atmosphere, since the inherent separation of carbon dioxide takes place directly in a combustion unit. In the beginning, the general idea of the CLC process is described, which takes advantage of solids (so-called oxygen carriers) being able to transport oxygen between combustion air and burning fuel. The main groups of oxygen carriers (OC) are characterized and compared, which are Fe-, Mn-, Cu-, Ni-, and Co-based materials. Moreover, different constructions of reactors tailored to perform the CLC process are described, including fluidized-bed reactors, swing reactors, and rotary reactors. The whole systems are based on the chemical looping concept, such as syngas CLC (SG-CLC), in situ Gasification CLC (iG-CLC), chemical looping with oxygen uncoupling (CLOU), and chemical looping reforming (CLR), are discussed as well. Finally, a comparison with other pro-CCS (carbon capture and storage) technologies is provided.

Abstract
The objective of the research was to prepare Mn-based materials for use as oxygen carriers and investigate their reactivity in terms of their applicability to energy systems. The family of Fe2O3-MnO2 with the addition of TiO2 was prepared by mechanical mixing method and calcination. Five samples with addition of Fe2O3 (20, 30, 35, and 50 wt.%) to MnO2 (65, 55, 50, 35, and 85 wt.%) with constant amount of inert TiO2 (15 wt.%) were prepared. The performance of TiO2 supported Fe-Mn oxides oxygen carriers with hydrogen/air in an innovative combustion technology known as chemical looping combustion (CLC) was evaluated. Thermogravimetric analysis was used for reactivity studies within a wide temperature range (800–1000 °C). Comprehensive characterization contained multipurpose techniques for newly synthesized materials. Moreover, post-reaction experiments considered morphology analysis by SEM, mechanical strength testing by dynamometry, and crystal phase study by XRD. Based on wide-ranging testing, the F50M35 sample was indicated as the most promising for gaseous fuel combustion via CLC at 850–900 °C temperature.

Abstract
This paper contains the results of research on a promising combustion technology known as chemical looping combustion (CLC) and chemical looping with oxygen uncoupling (CLOU). The remarkable advantages of CLC are, among others, that concentrated CO2 stream can be obtained after water condensation without any energy penalty for its separation or significant decrease of NOx emissions. The objective of this work was to prepare a novel bi-metallic Fe–Mn supported on ZrO2 oxygen carriers. Performance of these carriers for the CLOU and CLC process with nitrogen/air and hard coal/air was evaluated. One-cycle CLC tests were conducted with supported Fe–Mn oxygen carriers in thermogravimetric analyzer utilizing hard coal as a fuel. The effects of the oxygen carrier chemical composition and process temperature on the reaction rates were determined. Our study proved that for CLOU, properties formation of bixbyite and spinel forms are responsible. Among iron ferrites, we concluded that iron-rich compounds such as Fe2MnO4 over FeMn2O4 spinel type oxides are more effective for CLOU applications.
