Sorbents for CO2 capture from flue gas—aspects from materials and theoretical chemistry
Abstract
Predictions of future climate change have triggered a search for ways to reduce the release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) assists this goal by reducing carbon dioxide emissions, and CO(2) adsorbents in particular can reduce the costs of CO(2) capture. Here, we review the nanoscale sorbent materials that have been developed and the theoretical basis for their function in CO(2) separation, particularly from N(2)-rich flue gases.

In zeolites and zeolite-type adsorbents, most research has focused on commercial type A, X, and Y zeolites, out of which zeolite 13X (NaX) is considered a benchmark adsorbent for postcombustion CO2 removal.
“In what refers to zeolites and zeolite-type adsorbents (AlPOs, SAPOs, and titanosilicates), most research has focused on commercial type A, X, and Y zeolites, out of which zeolite 13X (NaX) is considered a benchmark adsorbent for postcombustion CO2 removal.331,461,545−547,551,552”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
