Zeolites are hydrated aluminosilicate minerals which form regular, porous structures which act as a molecular sieve. They may be readily modified to include a large variety of metal cations through a simple ion-exchange process. These modifications lead to large changes in CO2 sorption capacity, selectivity and water tolerance. |

This solvent rig is one of three CO2CRC rigs in use at the CO2CRC/HRL Mulgrave Capture Project. These rigs capture CO2 from syngas, the product of the brown coal gasifier, using three
innovative new technologies. |
 |
During the CO2CRC/HRL Mulgrave Capture Project CO2CRC researchers will use three
innovative new technologies in an evaluation of pre-combustion capture of CO2. Pictured here is the membrane rig, on the left, and the adsorption rig, right. |

The CO2CRC H3 Capture Project is Australia’s most comprehensive CO2 capture research facility. The project utilises the solvent capture plant (pictured at back) installed by International Power as part of the Hazelwood Carbon Capture Project , as well as a CO2CRC adsorption rig (front left) and membrane rig (front right). |
 |
The CO2CRC H3 Capture Project, at International Power’s Hazelwood Power Station in Victoria’s Latrobe Valley, was launched by Victorian Energy and Resources Minister Peter Batchelor in conjunction with International Power's Hazelwood Carbon Capture Project on Wednesday 8 July 2009.
