In this modern era, industries have greater energy efficiencies and the scope to reduce the emission of CO2. There are different ways for CO2 removal among them one way of greatly reducing co2 production from industries is its capturing and storage (CCS). Post combustion capture technology, which could be used for co2 capture in any industry. The use of hollow fiber membrane is employed for this capturing along with the use of ionic liquid to achieve the necessary purity. The HFM contactor with ionic liquid is used to capture co2 from the flue gases by achieving about up to 90%. Higher selectivity of membrane generally leads to lower energy consumption by the co2 capture process, while increasing the pressure of the flue gas leads to lower required membrane area. The objective of our project is to minimize the CO2 concentration in the environment to prevent global warming and to measure the CO2 solubility in different ionic liquids. The selected technology for post combustion capture gives about 90% of carbon dioxide separation from the flue gas stream.
