Abstract

Carbon capturing utilisation and storage (CCUS) is a necessary step forwards to achieve the environmental sustainable development goals (SDG). Carbon capturing can be achieved either through chemisorption or physisorption mechanisms. A variety of materials and mechanisms are being researched to determine the efficiency of carbon absorption methods to achieve the environmental SDGs as the carbon capturing process requires to be efficient and effective. Several materials such as metal organic frameworks, carbon nanotubes, biochar, activated carbon, cement dust and other materials are being tested to establish the processes at pilot scale for industrial applications. This research focuses on the physisorption method of carbon capturing using the waste products of the cement industry – cement bypass dust and flue gases. Carbon absorption efficiency in physisorption mechanisms also depends on the available CO2 concentration, moisture content of bulk material, reaction time efficiency of a reactor, and temperature conditions. The changes in material properties during carbon capturing processes due to changes in moisture, temperature, increased residence time impacts the handleability of materials in bulk quantities. This research focuses on improving the carbon capturing efficiency, and improving the handleability of bulk materials at industrial scale.
