CO2 Capture with PEG

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Capture and Utilization of Carbon Dioxide with Polyethylene Glycol

Part of the book series: SpringerBriefs in Molecular Science ((GREENCHEMIST))

Abstract

The capture of CO2 from fossil fuel combustion, e.g., coal-fired power plants, represents a critical component of efforts aimed at stabilizing greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere. In addition, removal of CO2 from natural gas is of vital importance to maintain and expand the availability of these clean-burning, efficient fuel sources. In recent years, worldwide efforts have been devoted to developing various technologies/processes for CCS, including adopting liquids, solids, and membranes as adsorbents. Interest in PEGs stems from its distinctive properties, such as inexpensive, thermally stable, almost negligible vapor pressure, toxicologically innocuous, and environmentally benign characterization. The functionalized-PEGs have been developed for both physical and chemical capture of CO2, including PEGs (Sect. 4.1), PEG-modified solid absorbents (Sect. 4.2), PEG-functionalized gas-separation membranes (Sect. 4.3) and PEG-functionalized liquid absorbents (Sect. 4.4). Indeed, PEG could increase the solubility of CO2 in the absorbent through chemical interactions, which is detected by in situ FT-IR under pressure.
