Solid sorbents for carbon capture include a diverse range of porous, solid-phase materials, including mesoporous silicas, zeolites, and metal-organic frameworks.These have the potential to function as more efficient alternatives to amine gas treating processes for selectively removing CO 2 from large, stationary sources including power stations.

CCS facilities capture carbon dioxide before it enters the atmosphere. Generally, a chemical solvent or a porous solid material is used to separate the CO 2 from other components of a plant’s exhaust stream. [30] Most commonly, the gas stream passes through an amine solvent, which binds the CO 2 molecule.
A typical amine gas treating process flow diagram. Ionic liquids for use in CO 2 capture by absorption could follow a similar process.. A typical CO 2 absorption process consists of a feed gas, an absorption column, a stripper column, and output streams of CO 2-rich gas to be sequestered, and CO 2-poor gas to be released to the atmosphere.
The sudden increase in carbon dioxide on the surface level will also temporarily decrease the pH of the seawater, impairing the growth of coral reefs. The production of carbonic acid through the dissolution of carbon dioxide in seawater hinders marine biogenic calcification and causes major disruptions to the oceanic food chain. [155]
A natural-gas processing plant in Aderklaa, Austria. Natural-gas processing is a range of industrial processes designed to purify raw natural gas by removing contaminants such as solids, water, carbon dioxide (CO 2), hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S), mercury and higher molecular mass hydrocarbons to produce pipeline quality dry natural gas [1] for pipeline distribution and final use.

MTR, Membrane Technology and Research Inc., and UT Austin have worked to create hybrid processes, utilizing both absorption and membranes, for CO 2 capture. First, an absorption column using piperazine as a solvent absorbs about half the carbon dioxide in the flue gas, then the use of a membrane results in 90% capture. [33]
A carbon dioxide scrubber is a piece of equipment that absorbs carbon dioxide (CO 2). It is used to treat exhaust gases from industrial plants or from exhaled air in life support systems such as rebreathers or in spacecraft , submersible craft or airtight chambers .
Direct air capture (DAC) is the use of chemical or physical processes to extract carbon dioxide (CO 2) directly from the ambient air. [1] If the extracted CO 2 is then sequestered in safe long-term storage, the overall process is called direct air carbon capture and sequestration (DACCS), achieving carbon dioxide removal.
