Review and Perspectives of CO2 Absorption by Water- and Amine-Based Nanofluids

The emission of greenhouse gases, especially CO2, has become a major cause of environmental degradation, and carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) is a proposed solution to mitigate its impact.

Sumario:The emission of greenhouse gases, especially CO2, has become a major cause of environmental degradation, and carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) is a proposed solution to mitigate its impact. Nanofluids, a relatively new method for CO2 absorption, have gained attention in recent years. This review focuses on conventional methods for preparing nanofluids along with techniques to improve their stability and enhance the CO2 absorption and desorption mechanisms. Additionally, the influences of factors, i.e., nanoparticle and base solution types as well as nanoparticle concentration, on the CO2 absorption process are summarized. Furthermore, models that can predict the absorption of CO2 accurately are outlined. It is found that the types of both base liquids and nanoparticles have an important impact on the absorption by nanofluids. In-depth studies on the predictive capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI) models hold immense potential in this regard. This review also puts forth effective strategies to address prevailing challenges. This will provide a solid theoretical basis for this field and underscore the promising potential of nanofluids as CO2 solvents. There are still many unexplored aspects to be considered, such as the economic viability and energy consumption of this technology.
