Techno-economic analysis of Cu(I)-loaded porous carbons for CO separation via pressure/vacuum swing adsorption process

초록

We developed a cost-effective CO separation process using Cu(I)-loaded porous carbons from waste PET bottles and evaluated its performance in a five-step pressure/vacuum swing adsorption (PVSA) cycle via integrated process, techno-economic models and optimization. K8(3)-Cu(1.0)/C achieved a minimum CO production cost of $89.2 per tonne at 99% purity and 80% CO feed, outperforming other adsorbent materials tested in this work. Its pelletized form, K8(3)-Cu(1.0)/C-MC(0.2), retained high performance, demonstrating industrial application potential for the adsorbent material.
