VALENCIA BOTERO, Monica Julieth  y  CARDONA ALZATE, Carlos Ariel. Carbon Dioxide Separation from Combustion Stream: A Conceptual Approach. Rev. Fac. ing. [online]. 2013, vol.22, n.34, pp.45-53. ISSN 0121-1129.

The carbon dioxide (CO₂) is considered to be one of the major green house gases effect's causes, responsible for most of both global warming and climate change. Due to the CO₂emission meaning, several physic and chemical capture and storage processes have been proposed, especially from combustion procedures. In this work, carbon capture technologies were reviewed. Here, two scenarios for post-combustion carbon capture from methanol combustion are presented. The first one is a chemical absorption separation with monoethanolamine. The second one is a separation by the distillation tower. The results indicate that both technologies are appropriated, but the distillation has higher yields than the chemical absorption.
