Abstract
Continued rise in associated carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and associated risk of climate change is a major concern globally. As a result, reasonable, dependable and safe energy supplies are essential for sustainable economic growth. The perception of a zero emission coal-fired power plant as a large source of very high pressure flow of CO2 is presented. This article also illustrates a plan that aims to fashion a membrane-based system to remove CO2. The CO2 concentration in the mixture is detected by the use of a CO2 laser gas sensor. The innovative technology employed utilizes hybrid inorganic ceramic membranes for carbon dioxide capture from a range of other gases such as those encountered during flue gas handing processes. The most probable profit of the CO2 gas detector system is investigated with emphasis on its enormous prospects especially for emission trading applications in fossil fuel power plants. Experiments were carried out with gas flow through hybrid membrane with the retentate port fully opened and closed. Results obtained show an appreciable CO2 extracted and offer better capture option in comparison to conventional methods.
