In Mar 2010, UCLA scientists announced that they had achieved a breakthrough in the use of ZIFs for the capture of CO2. How does this work? "The carbon dioxide is captured using a new class of materials designed by Yaghi and his group called zeolitic imidazolate frameworks, or ZIFs. These are porous and chemically robust structures, with large surface areas, that can be heated to high temperatures without decomposition and boiled in water or organic solvents for a week and still remain stable." (Source: Power Plant CCS Blog) Some of these abstruse stuff are no doubt academically exciting, but I wonder how long it would take before these really see the light of day in terms of applications in the real world... |
