Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are inviting submissions to the Special Issue on Carbon Capture and Storage.

The carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere increases due to industrial and human activities that need a lot of energy. This increased CO2 leads to global warming and dramatic issues for human beings, economics, and the whole ecosystem. Most of the CO2 is emitted from fossil fuel burning. Carbon capture and storage are essential to enable the use of fossil fuels while reducing the emissions of CO2 into the atmosphere and thereby mitigating global climate change. Research is needed to suggest practical and low-cost solutions that lead to reducing CO2 emissions. The research on pre- and post-combustion processes and developing novel materials for CO2 capture is welcome, such as oxy-fuel combustion, post-combustion adsorption, absorption, and storage.

In this Special Issue, we invite submissions exploring cutting-edge research and recent advances in the field. Contributions in the form of full papers, reviews, and communications about the related topics are very welcome.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue

  • Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
  • Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
  • Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
  • External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
  • e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.

Carbon capture is one of the recently raised technologies to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. Adsorption was introduced as an energy-efficient carbon capture process, and the literature primarily shows the utilization of circular cross-sectional adsorption beds for this purpose. In this regard, this paper investigates different shapes of adsorbent beds to determine the thermal and adsorption uptake enhancements. Three geometries are considered: circular, square, and triangular cross-sectional beds. Mg-MOF-74 is used as an adsorbent, and numerical simulation is developed using a user-defined function coupled with ANSYS-Fluent. The results show that the triangular cross-sectional bed exhibits better adsorption capacity and thermal management compared to other beds. For example, the triangular cross-sectional bed shows 6 K less than the circular one during the adsorption process. It is recommended that the triangular cross-sectional bed be used for temperature swing adsorption when pumping power is not important. The square bed comes second after the triangular one with a lower pressure drop, suggesting such beds as good candidates for pressure swing adsorption. The square bed could be an excellent choice for compact beds when CO2 uptake and pumping power are both important. Full article
