Carbon capture and storage provide a way of mitigating carbon dioxide emissions whilst enabling the continued use of fossil fuels during the period of energy transition leading to net zero emissions. This article describes research that is being done in Scotland, UK, at Robert Gordon University, that is pioneering the use of unconventional membranes for direct air carbon capture. The project, run in collaboration with two Canadian companies, aims to deliver a simple, easily deployable, mechanically stable, continuous and sustainable technology to capture carbon dioxide directly from air.

Japan's Toray Industries Inc is developing a polymeric separation membrane module which, it claims, is capable of cutting carbon dioxide emissions from hydrogen purification processes by more than 50%. The membrane technology, which also reduces the number of modules required to produce the gas, has the potential to play a role in the hydrogen economy.

This article, produced by UK company Amazon Filters Ltd, provides an insight into how effective pre-filtration can be used to protect and extend the lifetime of membrane filters that are used in the biotechnology, nutraceuticals, oil and gas, municipal water, and chemicals and coatings industries. It explains why an appropriate, properly functioning pre-filtration system – based on quality depth technology – will have a significant impact on the overall costs of running a filtration process that includes a final stage based on membrane filters.
