Templated polymeric materials as adsorbents for the postcombustion
Increasing awareness of the influence of greenhouse gases on global climate change has led to recent efforts to develop strategies for the reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. The strategy that is receiving the most attention involves the capture of CO2 from large point sources (such as fossil fuelfired power plants) and long-term storage underground or in the ocean. Aqueous solutions of amines have long been used by industry as absorbents for acid gas (CO2, H2S) removal. However, they have a number of shortcomings for treating flue gases. As an alternative, adsorption is considered to be a promising technologies for capturing CO2 from flue gases, with the potential to overcome the problems associated with liquid amines.
