Abstract
An apparatus for capture and sequestration of COfrom fossil fuel-fired power plant flue gas includes a polymer matrix embedded with a sorbent suitable for removing COfrom the flue gas and a spacer mated with the polymer matrix. The spacer is adapted to create channels between adjacent portions of the polymer matrix such that the flue gas flows through the channels and comes in contact with the sorbent. Further, an apparatus for the capture and sequestration of COfrom fossil fuel-fired power plant flue gas includes a hollow fiber membrane embedded with an adsorbent or other suitable material for removing COfrom the flue gas. The adsorbent particles may be embedded into a wall of the membrane.
