High-Performance, Economically-Viable Membranes for Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Separation
Summary
Economically viable removal of CO2 from sources such as coal plant flue gas and gasification mixtures requires affordable separation membranes that have high selectivity combined with high flux. State of the art membranes do not meet these requirements. Researchers at The Ohio State University have developed a new ultrathin inorganic membrane that exhibits high selectivity and a potentially high permeance for the separation of CO2 with respect to other gases. The membrane exhibits long-term stability, and operations over a wide range of temperatures.
Main Advantages of Technical Approach
- Achieves both high CO2 selectivity and high flux
- Can be easily manufactured
Market Potential
- Fuel Cells
- Power Plants
- CO2 recovery from fossil fuel combustion sources
