Capturing carbon dioxide is currently one of the most attractive research areas due to the serious problems that CO2 emission creates for the environment. The main aim of this work is to utilize cheap and environmentally friendly methods with simple synthesizing systems to enhance the separation performance of CO2 from N2 using PEBAX 1657 membranes. Thus, in this study, solvent modification and double-layer methods were used to improve the permeability of carbon dioxide in pure PEBAX 1657 and ZIF-8/PEBAX with an insignificant drop in the selectivity. The membrane modified by the solvent modification method improved the CO2 permeability by 1.21 compared to the single-layer 4 wt % PEBAX 1657 membrane which has a CO2 permeability of 155.2 Barrer. The modified membranes achieved a permeability of 188 Barrer. Furthermore, the CO2 permeability of double-layer membranes with different PEBAX 1657 in the top layer (4, 2, and 1 wt%) was higher by 1.13, 1.23, and 1.33; respectively, compared to single-layer 4 wt % PEBAX 1657 membrane. In MMMs, the double-layers membranes had permeabilities of 209.0 and 254.0 Barrer. These values are higher than single-layer membranes of MMMs by 1.14 and 1.3, respectively. The selectivity for separating CO2/N2 of all membranes ranged between 34.0-41.0. Thus, this study proposed two cheap synthesizing processes that enhanced the permeability of PEBAX 1657 membranes.

Simulating the effects of deep saline aquifer properties for CO2 sequestration Basbug, B.; Gumrah, F.; Oz, B. (2007-10-01) CO2 is one of the hazardous greenhouse gases causing significant changes to the environment. The sequestering of CO2 in a suitable geological media can be a feasible method to avoid the negative effects of CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. A numerical model was developed regarding CO2 sequestration in a deep saline aquifer. A compositional numerical model using CMG software (GEM) was employed to study the ability of the selected aquifer to accept and retain large quantities of CO2 injected in a supercritic...
Recent advances in heterogeneous catalysts for the effective electroreduction of carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide Eren, Enis Oğuzhan; Özkar, Saim (2021-09-15) The electrochemical conversion of carbon dioxide into low carbon fuels is a very convenient way of reducing the concentration of atmospheric CO2, which is the main cause of global warming. CO is known to be the most common and profitable product of CO2 reduction due to its low energy requirement and reaction simplicity. However, the viability of the process still depends on affordable and efficient catalysts. In this review, an overview is provided on recent advances in developing highly efficient heterogen...
Geochemical characterization of geothermal systems in Turkey as natural analogues for geological storage of Co2/ Elidemir, Sanem; Güleç, Nilgün Türkan; Department of Geological Engineering (2014) To mitigate the unfavourable effect of CO2 emission on global warming and climate change, geological storage of CO2 is currently regarded to be one of the major strategies. Deep saline formations constitute one of the alternative reservoirs for hosting the injected CO2 and the information about the behaviour of these reservoirs is provided via the studies of natural analogues. This thesis is concerned with the geothermal systems of Turkey as natural analogues for CO2 storage sites and the evaluation of thei...
Modeling of carbon dioxide sequestration in a deep saline aquifer Başbuğ, Başar; Gümrah, Fevzi; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2005) CO2 is one of the hazardous greenhouse gases causing significant changes in the environment. The sequestering CO2 in a suitable geological medium can be a feasible method to avoid the negative effects of CO2 emissions in the atmosphere. CO2 sequestration is the capture of, separation, and long-term storage of CO2 in underground geological environments. A case study was simulated regarding the CO2 sequestration in a deep saline aquifer. The compositional numerical model (GEM) of the CMG software was used to ...
Investigation of Turkey's carbon dioxide problem by numerical modeling Can, Ali; Tokdemir, Turgut; Department of Engineering Sciences (2006) CO2 emission is very important, because it is responsible for about 60% of the "Greenhouse Effect". The major objectives of this study were to prepare a CO2 emission inventory of Turkey based on districts and provinces by using the fuel consumption data with respect to its sources, to find the CO2 uptake rate of forests in Turkey based on provinces and districts, and to estimate the ground level concentration of CO2 across Turkey using U.S. EPA's ISCLT3 model for the preparation of ground level concentratio...
