Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

As the main gas causing the greenhouse effect, the increase in carbon dioxide (accounting for more than 70% of global greenhouse gases) is leading to serious climate change issues. Carbon dioxide capture and utilization refers to a range of applications through which CO2 is captured and used either directly or indirectly in various products. This process is not simply storage, but effectively realizes the recycling and reuse of CO2. This technology can recycle CO2 and generate economic benefits.

This Special Issue seeks new ideas and high-quality works focusing on the latest novel advances and, if possible, sustainable and environmental-friendly CO2 capture and utilization technologies. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Advances in CO2 capture technologies, including adsorption, absorption, membrane separation, cryogenic separation, microbial technology, etc.;
  • Novel CO2 utilization technologies, including biological utilization, chemical utilization, mineral utilization and physical utilization;
  • Sustainable and environmental-friendly CO2 capture and utilization technologies;
  • New utilization pathways in the production of CO2-based synthetic fuels, chemicals and building aggregates.

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. Processes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.

Chemical absorption carbon capture systems use solutions with complex compositions to further reduce energy consumption and improve performance. Modeling and simulation are essential methods for studying the characteristics of these systems and optimizing them. However, existing methods cannot be used to build models of systems with complex or unknown solutions. This study proposes a hybrid modeling method integrating mechanism modeling and operational data for a chemical absorption carbon capture system. This method interprets the physical and chemical properties of solvents under various operating conditions based on operational data. To validate the effectiveness of this method, it is applied to a real-life post-combustion carbon dioxide capture system in a 1000 MW coal-fired power unit, which has an annual capture capacity of 10,000 tons. The results of the case study indicate that the proposed method can obtain values of key property parameters of solvents, including absorption heat, cyclic carbon capacity, and heat capacity. The average relative error between operational data and simulation data ranges from 0.2% to 8.0%. Full article

The synthesis of dimethyl carbonate (DMC) from methanol and CO2 has also received widespread attention, and K2CO3 is usually used as a catalyst in the synthesis of DMC. In this work, the role of K2CO3 in synthesizing dimethyl carbonate (DMC) from methanol and CO2 was revisited. Interestingly, NMR results indicated that K2CO3 can react with methanol to form carbonate CH3OCOO−, an essential intermediate in the synthesis of DMC, which can be transformed into DMC in the presence of CH3I. In other words, K2CO3 can act as not only a catalyst but also a reactant to synthesize DMC from methanol and CO2. Full article
