This book highlights the importance of Facilitated Transport membranes (FTMs) for the application of carbon capture, covering its introduction, transport phenomena and models, reaction mechanisms, industrial applications such as bio-gas upgradation, flue gas separation, hydrogen / natural purification, fabrication methods of both FTMs and their carrier mediums, testing / characterization, techno-analysis with up to date trends and latest research literatures. Climate change and environmental impacts are resulted due to greenhouse gases, particularly CO2. Industrial revolution, causing augmented emission of greenhouse gases. Various technologies are being looked at to overcome these problems. In which, Membrane technology is key among them and is envisaged for many industrial applications, especially gas separations and carbon capture. Considering this, FTMs are being actively investigated due to its remarkable gas separation performance.
This book describes the working principle of FTMs and includes case studies to explore their impact on different industrial applications. Also, the book highlights how FTMs are reshaping science to capture CO2 for reducing climate and environmental impacts.
