Abstract

To alleviate the global warming issue arising from emission of greenhouse gases involving CO2 through burning of fossil fuels CO2 recovery and its utilization and storage has been known as an appropriate choice. With this purpose in mind, various CO2 recovery methods have been applied recently including adsorption, membrane, hydrating, chemical looping, biofixation, and absorption. Among these strategies, cryogenic CO2 capture technique has been become more attractive. However, there are some challenges including capture cost, impurities and cold energy sources which encounter utilization of this technique.

In this investigation, the major technologies and strategies of capturing CO2 which is exhausted from the combustion of fossil fuels are summarized, and also the features of cryogenic routes for CO2 capture have been reviewed. Also, the future prospect of the improved cryogenic processes is discussed. According to the consequences of this study, cryogenic CO2 capture methods can be utilized for the industrial scale and eliminate the problems associated with physical sorbents and chemical solvents. Also the integration of two or more conventional CO2 capture technologies can minimize the disadvantages of standalone process. These processes, named as hybrid system, compared to the standalone technology indicated the superiority in terms of energy penalty, the installation investment, and CO2 recovery.
