Anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, major contributors to the greenhouse effect, are considered as the main cause of global warming. So, decrease of CO2 emitted by large industrial combustion sources or power plants, is an important...Read more
Large scale implementation of CO2 geologic sequestration requires detailed uncertainty analysis and risk assessment for leakage potential. Probabilistic risk assessment based on Monte Carlo simulation is one option for quantifying the risk. It involves repeated random...Read more
Imidazoles and imidazole-amine hybrids are unique classes of organic solvents that feature properties similar to aqueous amine solvents and ionic liquids (ILs), both of which have received a great deal of attention for CO2 capture applications. However, to date, the...Read more

The nation is facing a renaissance in energy technology to include dramatic changes in transportation, electricity production, distribution and use, and energy efficiency. The nation is also rapidly expanding its scientific capabilities and is currently leading the world in areas such as...Read more
Absolute and per-capita energy consumption is bound to increase globally, leading to a projected increase in energy requirements of 50% by 2020. The primary source for providing a majority of the energy will continue to be fossil fuels. However, an array of enabling technologies needs to be...Read more
In this work, we will report a new liquid/inorganic membrane product concept for CO2 separation. A liquid fluid of selective CO2 absorption properties is immobilized in a thin, inorganic substrate sheet (20~50um) of graded pore structures. CO2 selectively absorbs into the liquid fluid in the...Read more
We will discuss a history of Industrial gas usage and how they helped shape the fuels and petrochemicals Industries. A look at the ftutre of IG in F&PD will also be presented.Read more
A monumental task for improving the feasibility of carbon capture from the flue gas of coal-fired power plants is reducing the total energy cost. A generic absorption/stripping process using an aqueous amine solvent would reduce the net power production of a coal-fired power plant by roughly 30...Read more
Production of power from coal inevitably generates carbon dioxide (CO2) as a by-product. To mitigate global climate change, this CO2 must be captured and sequestered. With current technologies, separating CO2 from flue gas accounts for about 70% of the total cost for CO2 capture and...Read more
Gas Technology Institute (GTI) and PoroGen Corporation are jointly developing a novel hybrid membrane – absorption process for pre- and post-combustion CO2 capture (Carbo-Lock™ process). The novel Carbo-Lock™ process combines advantageous features of both absorption and membrane processes to...Read more

This paper reports on recent results relating to high temperature sorption of metallic mercury on MinPlus sorbent, an inorganic substrate derived from paper recycling residues. Results from a packed bed reactor as well as in-flow dispersed phase reactor are reported. A new type of packed bed was...Read more
The Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) is a promising technology for the future use of coal to provide clean energy in a more efficient manner. During this process, many of the trace elements present in coal are volatilized, and remain in the gas phase through the gas turbine, only to...Read more
The climate implications of emerging technologies that capture CO2 to produce transportation fuels (CCTF) are investigated by studying two examples: biodiesel from microalgae and Sandia National Laboratory’s S2P process. Simple performance and economic models for each...Read more
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

Improved solvent reaction kinetics and carbon capacity continue to be a major research interest for the scrubbing of CO2 in post-combustion processes. The DOE has set a new target for post-combustion CO2 capture of less than a 35% increase in the cost of electricity, while capturing at least 90...Read more
Global climate models indicate that acting rapidly to reduce carbon dioxide emissions will provide greater benefits to the environment than delaying action; however, new technologies, currently under development, may be significantly less costly than those currently ready to be deployed. This...Read more
Energy efficient capture of CO2 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
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...Read more
