Computer-aided approaches enable the fast, automated and accurate evaluation of a vast number of process and material characteristics that lead to economically efficient and sustainable CO₂ capture systems. In this context, they offer a promising route to exploit experimental know-how and guide the search for novel and efficient CO₂ capture processes and materials.

This comprehensive volume brings together an extensive collection of systematic computer-aided tools and methods developed in recent years for CO₂ capture applications, and presents a structured and organized account of works from internationally acknowledged scientists and engineers, through:

• modelling of materials and processes based on chemical and physical principles
• design of materials and processes based on systematic optimization methods
• utilization of advanced control and integration methods in process and plant-wide operations.

The tools and methods described are illustrated through case studies on materials such as solvents, adsorbents and membranes, and on processes such as absorption/desorption, pressure and vacuum swing adsorption, membranes, oxycombustion, solid looping, etc.

Process Systems and Materials for CO₂ Capture: Modelling, Design, Control and Integration should become the essential introductory resource for researchers and industrial practitioners in the field of CO₂ capture technology who wish to explore developments in computer-aided tools and methods. In addition, it aims to introduce CO₂ capture technologies to process systems engineers working in the development of general computational tools and methods by highlighting opportunities for new developments to address the needs and challenges in CO₂ capture technologies.
