ABSTRACT

Adsorption technology for carbon dioxide capture from flue gas is seen as less mature but also promising. Its main advantage is using of solid sorbents, which do not emit toxic substances into the atmosphere and do not cause the corrosion of the systems components. Based on this technology, the chapter includes the description of mechanisms determining the separation of gaseous components using the adsorbents and short description of typical materials for CO2 capture. The compilation made on the basis of literature analysis shows the impact of operating parameters, process configuration and technique used on the main three efficiency indicators of the separation process. The chapter also presents the parameters and the results received during carbon dioxide capture measurements campaigns which contribute the input to power and cement case study.
