Carbon Dioxide Separation From Binary Gas Mixture Containing High Carbon Dioxide Content By Pressure Swing Adsorption Utilizing Organic And Inorganic Adsorbents

Carbon dioxide (CO2) gas enrichment and separation process have been researched for decades and various methods are being applied in industries to reduce and resist CO2 gas due to its corrosive characteristics and negative effects on environment. Greenhouse gases such as methane (CH4) and CO2 are th...
