INTRODUCTION
Rapid economic growth has contributed to today's ever increasing demand for
energy. An obvious consequence of this is an increase in the use of fossil fuels,
particularly conventional fossil fuels. However the abundant use of fossil fuels
has become a cause of concern due to their adverse effects on the environment
particularly related to the emission of CO2 a major anthropogenic greenhouse
gas(GHG).Carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) is considered a crucial
strategy for meeting CO2 emission reduction targets. The selection of specific
CO2 capture technology heavily depends on the type of CO2 generating plant
and fuel used.
CO2 capture technologies
• Post combustion : This process removes CO2 from the flue gas after
combustion has taken place. Post combustion technologies are the
preferred. However the major challenge for the post combustion CO@
capture is its large parasitic load. Since the CO2 level in the combustion flue
gas is normally quite low(i.e. 7-14% for coal fired and as low as 4% for gas
fired).
• Pre combustion : In this process the fuel is pretreated before combustion.
For coal, the pretreatment involve a gasification process conducted in a
gasifier under low oxygen level forming a syngas which consists mainly of
CO and H2 and is mainly free from other pollutant gases. The syngas will
undergo water gas shift reaction with steam forming more H2 while the CO
gas will be converted to CO2.

CO2 SEPARATION TECHNOLOGIES
• ABSORPTION:A liquid sorbent is used to separate the CO2 from the
flue gas. The sorbent can be regenerated through a stripping or
regenerative process by heating and/or depressurization. This process
is the most mature method for CO2 separation [30]. Typical sorbents
include monoethanolamine (MEA), diethanolamine (DEA) and
potassium carbonate
• ADSORPTION: In contrast to absorption processes which use a liquid
absorbent, a solid sorbent is used to bind the CO2 on its surfaces.
Large specific surface area, high selectivity and high regeneration
ability are the main criteria for sorbent selection. Typical sorbents
include molecular sieves, activated carbon, zeolites, calcium oxides,
hydrotalcites and lithium zirconate.
CO2 SEPARATION TECHNOLOGIES
• CHEMICAL LOOPING COMBUSTION: A metal oxide is used as an
oxygen carrier instead of using pure oxygen directly for the
combustion as in the case of oxyfuel combustion. During the process
the metal oxide is reduced to metal while the fuel is being oxidized to
CO2 and water. The metal is then oxidized in another stage and
recycled in the process. Water, the process by-product, can be easily
removed by condensation, while pure CO2 can be obtained without
consumption of energy for separation. There are a wide variety of
metal oxides that are of low-cost and suitable for this process
including Fe2O3, NiO, CuO and Mn2O3
CO2 SEPARATION TECHNOLOGIES
• MEMBRANE SEPARATION :Membranes can be used to allow only CO2 to
pass through, while excluding other components of the flue gas. The most
important part of this process is the membrane which is made of a
composite polymer of which a thin selective layer is bonded to a thicker,
non-selective and low-cost layer that provides mechanical support to the
membrane.
• HYDRATE BASED SEPARATION: Hydrate-based CO2 separation is a new
technology by which the exhaust gas containing CO2 is exposed to water
under high pressure forming hydrates. The CO2 in the exhaust gas is
selectively engaged in the cages of hydrate and is separated from other
gases. The mechanism is based on the differences of phase equilibrium of
CO2 with other gases, where CO2 can form hydrates easier than other
gases such as N2
CO2 SEPARATION TECHNOLOGIES
• CRYOGENIC DISTILLATION : Cryogenic distillation is a gas separation
process using distillation at very low temperature and high pressure,
which is similar to other conventional distillation processes except
that it is used to separate components of gaseous mixture (due to
their different boiling points) instead of liquid. For CO2 separation,
flue gas containing CO2 is cooled to desublimation temperature (−100
to–135 °C) and then solidified CO2 is separated from other light gases
and compressed to a high pressure of 100–200 atmospheric pressure.
The amount of CO2 recovered can reach 90–95% of the flue gas.
CO2 UTILIZATION
• After capture, the high CO2 content stream can be transported for
geological storage, or for CO2 utilization.
• A demonstration plant in Luzhou, China was recently commissioned
that produces ammonia and urea using the CO2 captured (160 t/day)
from its production process
• CO2 can also be used in other areas such as food beverages,
refrigerants and fire extinguishing gases. Current CO2 utilization
accounts for only 2% of emissions, but forecasts predict chemical
utilization could mitigate 700 megatons of CO2 per year, far greater
than the combined potential of nuclear, wind and cellulosic biofuel
technologies.
CO2 UTILIZATION
• Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) using CO2 from capture processes can
significantly increase CO2 utilization. Other related new sectors
include the use of CO2 as a cushion gas for energy storage .
• CO2 can be utilized through mineralization, a process based on the
accelerated reaction of CO2 with Mg/Ca rich silicate rocks or inorganic
wastes to form stable carbonates which can be used.
• Large scale, economic photocatalytic conversion of CO2 into methane
(CH4) and/or methanol (CH3OH) represents a formidable scientific
and technical challenge . Recent progress in this area has focused
mainly on the development of novel catalysts through advances in
nanotechnology
Dual function material for carbon capture and
conversion
Current CCs processes suffer from the fact that CO2 absorption by
corrosive liquids such as monoethanolamine (MEA) as well as
adsorption by solids such as alkaline metal oxides rely on a high
temperature thermal swing for their regeneration. These operations
constitute the large portion of cost of CO2 capture. The use of synthetic
fuels made from co2 as carriers for excess renewable electricity offers a
solution to manage fluctuating output of renewable energy while
mitigating co2 emissions .production of synthetic natural gas is a
promising option which has been demonstrated on an industrial scale
in Audi motor company’s ‘’e-gas’’ facility in Germany.
• Dual function materials offers a unique renewable energy storage
solution by producing SNG directly from industrial flue gas, while
eliminating the energy requirement, corrosion and transportation
issues associated with CCS.
• The dfm contains a sorbent as well as a catalyst component, allowing
it to both capture co2 and convert it to a fuel without an energy
intensive thermal swing process. The dfm process utilizes H2
produced via electrolysis using renewable
electricity(wind,hydro,geothermal,and/or solar)to make synthetic
natural gas via the methanation reaction

MATERIAL SYNTHESIS
• Dual function materials were prepared by incipient wetness
impregnation of either Ru(NO)(NO3)2 on 10 wt.% CaO/γ-Al2O3 or of
Ca(NO3)2 on 10 wt.% Ru/γ-Al2O3. All samples were dried in air at 120
°C for 1 h and calcined in air at 320 °C for 2 h. This pretreatment
ensured the decomposition of Ru(NO)(NO3)2 to Ru. The DFMs
received in-situ pre-reduction in 4% H2/N2 at 320 °C for 2 h at the
beginning of each reactor test to ensure decomposition of Ca(NO3)2
to CaO.
