Separación de dióxido de carbono utilizando membranas soportadas con líquidos iónicos

Abstract

The last decades have shown the impossibility of transferring the energy intensity of the developed world to the entire planet and thus, the need for a global shift towards a low carbon economy and therefore, to a more efficient and sustainable energy model. A technological effort is required aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions, which necessarily involves the development of carbon dioxide (CO2) capture and storage or valorization technologies. In this context, this Thesis studies the development of new supported ionic liquid membranes for CO2 separation aiming for a dual approach: development of novel stimuli-responsive magnetic ionic liquids based membranes showing a response to the application of an external magnetic field and acetate based supported ionic liquid membranes with a high CO2 solubility, which can achieve a better performance in its separation/concentration.
