A Tianjin University research team reported a new fully organic mixed-matrix membrane for CO2 capture in Nature Energy on Oct. 7. In simulated flue gas tests the membrane achieved an orders-of-magnitude increase in CO2 permeability, surpassing literature records and reaching about 70% of the model-predicted theoretical permeability for a pure COF membrane. The membrane maintained stable performance in the presence of water, SOx and NOx and showed good long-term stability. A preliminary techno-economic analysis under specified process and cost assumptions estimates carbon capture cost at about $38/ton CO2.
