讲座内容：

this presentation covers new advances in amine-containing membranes for co₂capture from flue gas in coal- and/or natural gas-fired power plants and from <1% co₂concentration sources, e.g., the residual flue gas after the primary co₂capture system and coal-mine gas streams. the post-combustion carbon capture from flue gas requires a high co₂/n₂selectivity of 140 along with a very high co₂permeance of about 700 gpu (1 gpu = 10^-6cm³(stp)/(cm²žsžcmhg)) or higher in order to use a stand-alone membrane process. we have synthesized new membranes, showing a high co₂/n₂selectivity of >140 and a high co₂permeance of >1000 gpu. the membrane was scaled up to 14 inches in width using continuous roll-to-roll fabrication. aided by a material balance equation, three variables, namely the coating-knife gap setting, web speed, and coating solution concentration, were identified as the critical factors to control the membrane selective layer thickness. this resulted in the membrane with a selective layer of <200 nm. the scale-up membrane exhibited similar performance compared to the lab-size membrane. the scale-up membrane was fabricated into spiral-wound membrane modules for testing with simulated flue gas containing about 20% co₂, 77% n₂, 3% o₂and 1 – 3 ppm, showing similar results as the flat-sheet membrane tested in the lab. techno-economic analysis has shown that the post-combustion capture process using the membrane is promising for meeting doe’s capture cost target set for 2025. for carbon capture from <1% co₂concentration sources, we have elucidated the carrier saturation phenomenon. with reducing the co₂concentration in the feed gas, both co₂permeance and co₂/n₂selectivity increased. these were mainly due to more available amine carriers for co₂molecular transport at lower co₂concentration conditions. in addition, the stability and scale-up of membrane modules will be discussed.
