The rapidly increasing concentration of greenhouse gas carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has been related to global warming and subsequent problems. The US Energy Information Administration (EIA) predicts that total carbon dioxide emission in China will surpass 8 000 million tons per year by 2030. It is urgent to develop a solid process with high capacity, selectivity, regenerability and energy efficiency to separate carbon dioxide from flue gas. One promising approach is to capture carbon dioxide in large point sources such as power plants, which account for more than half of the carbon dioxide emitted in China. Broadly in this regard, three different types of technology ...
