(446d) Moisture Swing Adsorption on Porous Materials

Moisture Swing Adsorption is a promising carbon capture technique for pulling carbon dioxide out of ambient air. By using a swing in humidity, the energy expense for the adsorption process may be balanced against the energy of vaporizing water in a seemingly passive process. Before this technology can become economically feasible, advances in the adsorbents must be made including adsorption capacity and kinetic uptake. To address this porous materials including metal-organic-frameworks have been studied for their capacity and capture mechanism to allow for future optimization of the active sites participating the capture process.
