"This review provides an extensive evaluation of recent advances in multiscale models used for the theoretical physical descriptions of #DirectAirCapture."
𧡠1/8
"Reviewed (CO2Β mass) transfer works span from theΒ ab initioΒ density functional theory calculation relationships toΒ mesoscaleΒ Monte Carlo, molecular dynamics simulations & micro-kinetics, adsorption/desorption, & most commonly-investigated specificΒ macroscaleΒ concept." #DAC 2/8
The modelled #DAC processes properties reported in the literature have been compared by the authors of this review paper, which allowed them "to identify the most effective sorbents." 3/8
This paper found that "Amine functionalized metal-organic frameworks exhibit low energy requirements, the lowest reported was 1000 kWh tCO2β1, while the lowest published cost was 60 $ tCO2β1." #DAC 4/8
Researchers also figured out that "the market demand for CO2Β is expected to exponentially rise up to 6.1Β Gt in 2050, while the cost of implementing #DAC technologies is predicted to be reduced under 125 $ tCO2β1Β in the year 2030." 5/8
This paper concluded that, "further #DAC modelling research activities in CO2 (sorption) bed form phenomena could not only break the barriers of current renewable tech., but also couple the CO2 reactions with the sequestration, reactors, or with electrolysis for e-fuels." 6/8
