ABSTRACT
Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas which can be mitigated by preventing it from reaching the atmosphere. This can be accomplished sequestering the carbon dioxide in geological substructures, in the ocean, or as mineral carbonates. This can be accomplished most effectively by purifying the carbon dioxide from the flue gas or air from which it is to be captured. This chapter discusses the many methodologies of capturing this flue gas in detail, including particular focus on exciting alkaline scrubber technologies and advancements, along with several adsorption methods. There is a particular emphasis on large-scale processing of carbon dioxide, including the regeneration of capture media, along with maximization of capture kinetics. This chapter also discusses what to do with the captured carbon dioxide, along with the advantages and limitations of each of the potential sequestration methods.
