CO2 capture using liquid crystals: Selectivity analysis for CO2 capture from syngas

The current need to reduce CO2 emission from power plant flue gas demands development of new and more energy efficient separation processes. Liquid crystals are a new class of solvents for CO2 absorption; making use of a solubility switch between two phases. Solubility of CO2 is higher in the isotropic liquid phase than in the structured liquid...
