Comparison of different CO2 capture technologies.

Type Introduction Advantage Disadvantage Application
CO2 captured by sorbents The physical or chemical properties of sorbents are used to adsorb CO2 Convenient application; Rapid response; Controllable adsorption capacity High use cost; Difficult to reuse the sorbent; Possible environmental impacts; Limited operation time Industrial application
CO2 captured by membranes Using the difference in permeability of different components, the purpose of separation can be achieved through a membrane High separation accuracy; Fast separation speed; Excellent durability High demand for equipment; Periodic replacement of membrane Industrial application
CO2 captured by electrochemical separation The adsorption and desorption of CO2 were realized by electrochemical means using electrolytes as a mediator Availability of liquid products; High separation accuracy High demand for equipment; Energy consumption is higher than other methods Industrial; Research experiment
CO2 captured by algae cultivation Algae capture CO2 through photosynthesis Cost-effective; Sustainable; Applicable to a wide range of CO2 concentration; Produce value-added biomass High footprint; Light-dependent; Operation and maintenance are complicated Industrial; Research experiment
