The Paris Agreement of 2015 set a goal of reducing CO2 emissions, a greenhouse gas that has caused global warming to levels of less than 2°C more than before the Industrial Revolution. In order to achieve this goal, it is necessary to reduce industrial energy consumption, half of which is used in separation processes for purifying, distilling and drying chemicals. It takes a lot of energy and is costly to separate a mixture of molecules. In other words, the development of a highly efficient and energy-saving separation technology is one of the most important challenges facing the world today, of which CO2 separation and capture is a high priority for lowering greenhouse gases.
