Title in different languages: Supported ionic liquid membranes (SLIMs) for CO2 capture

Abstract: One of the main gases responsible for the greenhouse effect is CO2, coming from different anthropogenic sources, largely from the combustion in the industry sector. The European commission has a commitment to diminishing its emission in, at least, a 55% before 2030. To accomplish this objective, different approaches are being studied, such as redesign production processes to avoid CO2 formation as by-product. The problem is dealing with the industrial processes that can not be replaced nowadays by greener ones e.g. combustions in power plants. In these cases, the only approach is the treatment of flue gases from the outlets before its final emission in the atmosphere. In this work, a new group of novel polysulfone membranes modified with ionic liquids based on imidazole rings (SILM’s) have been synthesized, characterized, and tested for CO2 capture abilities for further exploitation as one carbon source in industry.
