Comparative Analysis of Sorption Materials for a Hybrid Power Plant with a SOFC

Fuel and energy complexes are the main sources of carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere. Even with the transition to alternative sources of heat and electricity production, such as solid oxide fuel cells, the relevance of capturing and utilizing carbon dioxide still remains. Currently, there is a significant focus on developing technologies for carbon dioxide capture. This is being achieved through the implementation of CC(U)S projects, which involve CO2 capturing, disposing of, and potentially utilizing. However, in numerous countries, these technologies are not thoroughly researched. The development of CC(U)S technologies for the possibility of implementation on an industrial scale is an important direction in the field of decarbonization. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to conduct laboratory experiments on the carbon dioxide capture by various absorbents. A comparative analysis for the identification of the most effective sorption materials was conducted based on the results of the experiments, which revealed that the NaOH solution exhibited the highest sorption capacity. Also, recommendations on the use of these materials on an industrial scale are given.
