Abstract

Air pollutants show detrimental impact on our health, where it can cause a variety of diseases, including asthma, lung cancer, and heart failing. As special case, the emission of carbon dioxide (CO2) has been considered as one of the main sources of air pollution, leading to a serious concern due to its climatic effects as greenhouse gas (GHG). In this chapter, we discuss about the current trends and projections in CO2 emissions. Then, we go through the current technologies employed in CO2 capture, for example, precombustion CO2 capture, oxy-fuel combustion CO2 capture, and postcombustion CO2 capture. Apart from the conventional technologies, a summary of different process intensified technologies considering CO2 capture is presented as well. Moreover, to tackle time-consuming and expensive measurements, we raise thermodynamic-based and intelligent-based models applied in the phase equilibrium dealing with CO2 gas system. Finally, challenges in CO2 capture encompassing commercial viability, financial constraint, governance and regulatory framework, together with its technological constraint are briefly described, and future recommendations for CO2 capture are presented. © 2021 Elsevier Inc.
