description Carbon capture and storage is one of the potential options for reducing CO(2) emissions from coal-fired power plants while preserving their operation. Mathematical modeling was carried out for a one-stage membrane process of carbon dioxide capture from the flue gases of coal-fired power plants using commercial gas separation membranes. Our calculations show that highly CO(2)-permeable membranes provide similar characteristics with respect to the separation process (e.g., a specific area of membrane and a specific level of electrical energy consumption) despite the significant variation in CO(2)/N(2) and H(2)O/CO(2) selectivity. Regarding the development of processes for the recovery of CO(2) from flue gas using membrane technology, ensuring high CO(2) permeance of a membrane is more important than ensuring high CO(2)/N(2) selectivity. The presence of water vapor in flue gas provides a higher driving force of CO(2) transfer through the membrane due to the dilution of CO(2) in the permeate. A cross-flow membrane module operation provides better recovery of CO(2) in the presence of water vapor than a counter-current operation.
