CO_(2) capture using membrane contactors:a systematic literature review

With fossil fuel being the major source of energy,CO_(2) emission levels need to be reduced to a minimal amount namely from anthropogenic sources.Energy consumption is expected to rise by 48%in the next 30 years,and global warming is becoming an alarming issue which needs to be addressed on a thorough technical basis.Nonetheless,exploring CO_(2) capture using membrane contactor technology has shown great potential to be applied and utilised by industry to deal with post-and pre-combustion of CO_(2).A systematic review of the literature has been conducted to analyse and assess CO_(2) removal using membrane contactors for capturing techniques in industrial processes.The review began with a total of 2650 papers,which were obtained from three major databases,and then were excluded down to a final number of 525 papers following a defined set of criteria.The results showed that the use of hollow fibre membranes have demonstrated popularity,as well as the use of amine solvents for CO_(2) removal.This current systematic review in CO_(2) removal and capture is an important milestone in the synthesis of up to date research with the potential to serve as a benchmark databank for further research in similar areas of work.This study provides the first systematic enquiry in the evidence to research further sustainable methods to capture and separate CO_(2).
