Abstract

Abstract: Rapid increase of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2 ) concentration has a potential effect on climate change. In this regard, carbon capture and storage (CCS) is recognized as having the potential to play a major role in the mitigation of CO2 and decarbonizing industry. The chemical separation based CO2 capture process is already established and adapted by several industries. However, the processes are energy intensive. Therefore, finding a potential adsorbent and their application towards CO2 capture is still a daunting task. Porous organic frameworks are a class of adsorbent material which can have huge potential in CO2 capture and short-term storage application because of their tremendously high surface area, chemical tunability, and surface functionality compared to other adsorbents, such as zeolites and activated carbon. In this review article, we provide a comprehensive account of significant progress in the design, synthesis, and scale-up processes of the porous organic frameworks and their application towards carbon capture and their engineering challenges. Graphical Abstract: ga1 Highlights: Current, CO2 capture processes are energy-intensive. Porous organic frameworks have huge potential in CO2 capture, separation and short-term storage application. Regeneration energy is much lower compared to the well-established amine based separation process. Industrial scale synthesis of the adsorbent material is discussed. Different engineering challenges related to CO2 capture by solid adsorbent are discussed.
