Carbon Capture Enhanced with Membrane Separation Technology

Carbon capture is a major motivation for the research of gas separation with membranes over the last two decades. In the United States, the funding for currently-active DOE-supported projects focused on membrane-based carbon capture reaches 86M dollars, which is about 27% of the total award value for carbon capture projects, and covering the tests conducted at lab-scale, bench-scale, and pilot-scale. However, compared with the widely-use of amine solvents, CO2 capture with membranes is still considered too costly and the chemical and thermal stability of membrane is expected to be improved. This Topical Collection is aimed to share ideas for the development of novel membrane materials, the design of membrane-based hybrid carbon capture process, and cutting-edge data collected from the test at different levels.

    Dr. Lie Meng, Research Institute of Innovative Technology for the Earth, Japan Lie Meng obtained his B.S. (2008) and Ph.D. (2013) degree in Chemical Engineering from Nanjing Tech University, P.R. China. He is currently with the Research Institute of Innovative Technology for the Earth (RITE) in Kyoto, Japan. Before joining RITE, he worked as a postdoctoral research associate at Hiroshima University, Japan, and later Arizona State University, the US. His research addresses the design of membrane separation process for CO2 capture technology, and the development of catalytic membrane reactors for enhanced heterogeneous catalysis.

    Dr. Chien-Hua Chen, Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Engineering, National Ilan University (NIU), Taiwan Chien-Hua Chen (Jeffery) received his Ph.D. (2018) degree in Chemical Engineering from National Taiwan University, Taiwan (R.O.C.). In research, he focuses on the development of inorganic membranes, including zeolite membranes, large-scale fabrications (hollow fibers), and advanced fabrications (3D printing). The related applications are high-temperature CO2/H2 separation using zeolite membranes, and CO2/N2 separation and membrane distillation (MD) using modified inorganic membrane contactors.
