Here, we build an open-source model of a liquid solvent direct air capture technology and analyze its capture performance as a function of hourly varying ambient environmental conditions across Canada. We find that, in the cool climate considered, capture performance is degraded due to both ...
Emission trajectories produced by integrated assessment models increasingly suggest that gigatonnes of carbon removal will be required to stabilize atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations at safe levels. This can be accomplished using the direct air capture of carbon dioxide, among other technologies. ...
Direct observation through a transparent pipe section, particularly through a high speed camera, can allow visual and qualitative interpretation of the flow inside the pipe. However, this is very subjective, and in early projects such as by Bennett et al. (1965), researchers formed a consensus ...
Introduction to Carbon Capture with Membranes Man D. Lee, ... Komaranallipalayam S. Pragadeesh, in Reference Module in Earth Systems and Environmental Sciences, 2023 Liquid Membranes The liquid membranes belong to the facilitated transport membrane category, referred to as gas-liquid contactors in ...
A method of creating liquid gas uses a wind energy system is provided that has a plurality of direct compression wind turbine stations. Direct compression is direct rotational motion of a shaft or a rotor coupled to one or more compressors. Wind energy is collected from the plurality of direct...
The spontaneous dewetting of a liquid film from a solid surface occurs in many important processes, such as printing and microscale patterning. Experience suggests that dewetting occurs faster on surfaces of higher film repellency. Here, we show how, unexpectedly, a surrounding viscous phase can swit...
When the technology matures, direct air capture (DAC) can provide unlimited CO2 and entirely close the carbon loop. Unlocking the potential of DAC will require a number of advances, including innovative carbon monetization, strategic funding and investment partnerships...
Equipped with a bimorph force sensor, a computer-interfaced video capture, and a data acquisition system, the newly designed integrated thin film drainage apparatus (ITFDA) allows for the direct and simultaneous measurements of force barrier, true film drainage time, and bubble/droplet deformation ...
Furthermore, exponential correlations may not capture the behavior of liquid holdup at low gas velocity. In the liquid-holdup curve, which covers slug and bubble flow (Owen, 1986; Godbole et al., 2011), it's clear that the liquid holdup increases gently with the decrease of gas at hig...
Relying on changeable SE components, the fabricated membranes preferentially capture and interact with the corresponding SECI-dominated liquids, favoring the wide range of controllability and high-efficiency into a self-propelled fluidic separation system. Additionally, in situ extraction and back extraction...
