Synthesis of Optimal Adsorptive Carbon Capture Processes

Oct 17, 2011
David C. Miller
Solid sorbent carbon capture systems have the potential to require significantly lower regeneration energy compared to aqueous monoethanol amine (MEA) systems. To date, the majority of work on solid sorbents has focused on developing the sorbent materials themselves. In order to advance these...

Carbon Capture and Sequestration At the National Energy Technology Laboratory

Oct 16, 2011
John Litynski
Carbon, capture, and storage technologies are a promising option that can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions from industrial and power generation facilities while enhancing the energy security of the United States. The U.S. DOE National Energy Technology Laboratory is implementing the federal...

Synthesis of Novel Catalyst for the Trireforming of CO2-Rich Flue Gases

Mar 15, 2011
Tracy J. Benson
Today’s chemical industry is very complex with most commodity chemicals being produced from some variation of petroleum feedstocks. From transportation fuels to polymers, petroleum is truly the largest source of basic hydrocarbons for which many of the common household products consumers use. Along...

Investigation of the Adsorbed Species of CO2 on Mg(OH)2

Mar 15, 2011
James C. Fisher
Introduction Fossil fuels supply a majority of the world's energy needs. However, the combustion of fossil fuels is one of the major sources of the greenhouse gas CO 2 . Integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) is one the most efficient power generation systems that use coal. However, because...

Physical Solvents That Are Alternatives for PEGDME In CO2 Absorption

Mar 15, 2011
Matthew B. Miller
Advanced gasification power plants will employ the water-gas shift reaction producing a high pressure gas-phase mixture containing CO 2 , H 2 and water. This gas mixture at elevated pressures provides ample driving force in order to use a physical solvent that will selectively absorb, not...

Scoping Study of Methanol Production From CO2 with Nuclear Electrolysis H2

Mar 15, 2011
Richard D. Doctor
A scoping study of system costs for producing methanol from CO 2 and H 2 using low-carbon electricity to supply the hydrogen from commercial electrolysis produced methanol via: CO 2 + 3H 2 ➝ CH 3 OH + H 2 O Assuming low-carbon electricity at $75/MW, electrolysis delivers hydrogen at $5/kg and the...

Resin Wafer Electrodeionization for Flue Gas Carbon Dioxide Capture

Mar 14, 2011
Rebecca L. Stiles
Energy efficient capture of CO 2 from coal-fired power plants is one of the grand challenges for the U.S. both to end dependence on imported energy and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Nalco Company and Argonne National Laboratory received a Department of Energy ARPA-E award to develop Resin...

Plasma Assisted De-NOx In Diesel Engine

Mar 14, 2011
Dae Hoon Lee
Plasma assisted De-NOx systems in mobile application are introduced. In general, de-NOx process requires reductant for reducing catalyst. NH3(Urea) fueling, post injection of diesel fuel are representative of method for supplying reductant. Here, using synthesis gas by on board reforming as...

Synthesis Gas Cleanup with Nonthermal Plasma

Mar 14, 2011
Maoqi Feng
Plasma processes are very useful in industry because plasma has the unique characteristic of producing active species in large numbers of energetic species than conventional chemical processes. Nonthermal plasma (NTP), such as corona or glow discharge plasmas, is widely used for generating such...

Secondary Effects of Reducing Carbon Dioxide Emissions

Mar 14, 2011
Eloy Flores III
Secondary Effects of Reducing Carbon Dioxide Emissions While climate change has lost some interest to the global economy, the United States and the World continue to move forward on advancing research and technologies to capture, sequester, or reuse the green house gas carbon dioxide. Capturing...
