As the world moves towards clean energy initiative, carbon capture and utilization technologies are key to achieving net zero emissions. CO2 capture with amines has many disadvantages and cannot be applied to commercial power plants. The current manuscript will address this issue as well as a solution that involves the use of low-cost alkali absorb...

... increases the stability of foams by reducing the interfacial tension between CO 2 and water, increasing oil recovery from 50%-60% up to 70% of the residual oil in place ( Sun et al., 2019 ). This process resolves issues related to the mobility of CO 2 , resulting in a much better total sweep of the oil than gas-assisted recovery alone. Fig. 7 below shows the CO 2 -enhanced oil recovery (CO 2 -EOR) cycle and the flow of CO 2 through the ...

... According to the researchers from the University of Michigan, ready-mixed concrete can uptake about 3.8% of CO 2 and precast concrete about 9.6% of CO 2 from the total mass [8]. CO 2 capture can also be used directly to process other chemicals and materials, e. g., in iron ore filtration, steel slag carbonation, and red mud neutralization [9]. ...
