Monolithic metal organic frameworks for carbon capture
Project Lead: Immaterial Limited
Post-combustion carbon capture currently uses amine-based technologies that are hampered by solvent degradation, corrosiveness, and a high energy penalty. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of highly tuneable nano-porous materials with great potential in capturing carbon. However, the development of the traditional powdered form of MOFs has been limited by its high production cost and poor structural stability. This project leveraged Immaterial’s material and process design technologies to design a carbon capture demonstrator for the removal of carbon from flue gas streams, identifying the most suitable monolithic MOFs and MOF-coated structured adsorbents for carbon capture.
