Temperature‑Swing Absorption System for Efficient CO₂ Removal from Flue Gas (Systems and Methods for CO₂ Removal from Flue Gas by Temperature Swing Absorption, Tech ID: 13‑038)
Technology Overview: This NJIT technology provides a temperature‑swing absorption (TSA) system for selectively capturing CO₂ from flue gas streams. The system uses thermally responsive absorbents integrated into membrane or packed structures to enable efficient CO₂ uptake and controlled release during regeneration. Compared to conventional amine scrubbing, this approach reduces energy demand, degradation, and operating costs.
Industry Pain Point: Conventional carbon capture technologies are energy‑intensive and costly to operate at scale.
NJIT Solution: This TSA system enables lower‑energy CO₂ separation, improving economic viability for carbon capture deployment.
