Low-cost carbon capture gets X-rayed

Tuesday, July 31, 2012 - 13:50 in Physics & Chemistry

Diamond Light Source is being used to improve low cost methods for carbon capture. Scientists are using the UK's national synchrotron to investigate the efficiency of calcium oxide based materials as carbon dioxide sorbents. Their results provide an explanation for one of the key mechanisms involved. This new knowledge will inform efforts to improve the efficiency of this economically viable method of carbon capture and storage.
