Membrane contactors for post-combustion carbon dioxide capture
Designing and studying gas/liquid contactors in order to capture carbon dioxide - A major step towards the intensification of post combustion capture

Almost unanimously, carbon dioxide is recognized as one of the main greenhouse gases (GHGs), contributing to global warming. To limit anthropogenic CO ₂ emissions, one of the options advocated is the capture and storage of produced carbon dioxide (CCS) [11].

With this in mind, experts recommend amine capture as the mature technical solution for capturing 80-90% of CO ₂ in post-combustion, with purity close to 90%. Under these conditions, the application of CCS comes up against two stumbling blocks: the economic cost of capture linked to the low CO ₂ content (4 to 13% vol.) and the enormous volume of flue gas to be treated (over 1 million m ³ .h ^–1 ...
