Gas Separation Membranes for Zero-emission Fossil Power Plants

The reduction or elimination of CO2 emissions from electricity
generation in fossil fuel power plants is a major
target in the current socio-economic, environmental and
political situation and discussions on how to reduce greenhouse
gas emissions such as CO2. This mission could be
achieved by introducing gas separation techniques making
use of membrane technology, which is, as a rule, associated
with significantly lower efficiency losses compared with
conventional separation technologies.

These membranes will enable the separation of the technically
relevant gases, O2/ N2, CO2/ H2 and CO2/ N2, in the
various power plant concepts in order to achieve the purest
possible exhaust gas stream of the greenhouse gas CO2.
Although membranes are already used for substance separation
in other fields (e.g. chemical industry), membranes
for separating the technically relevant gases in fossil power
plants are still far from being suitable for implementation
in industrial applications. This symposium focuses on promising
membrane materials, manufacturing routes, properties
and the possible implemention of membranes for gas
separation in new fossil power plant concepts.

Search / advanced search of the idw archives
Combination of search terms

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.

Brackets

You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).

Phrases

Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.

Selection criteria

You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).

If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
