Systems and methods for optimizing carbon dioxide capture using sorbents

Abstract

A method for capturing carbon dioxide. The method includes receiving, by one or more adsorbent beds including one or more adsorption modules, a gas stream, wherein each of the one or more adsorption modules include one or more solid sorbent materials having one or more sorbent properties. The method also includes receiving, by a contactor, a regulating fluid stream for use in controlling a temperature of the one or more adsorption modules, adsorbing, via the one or more solid sorbent materials, carbon dioxide from the gas stream, and discharging, by the one or more adsorbent beds, an exhaust stream. The method further includes modulating the temperature of the one or more adsorption modules based on the one or more sorbent properties of the one or more solid sorbent materials to facilitate increasing an amount of carbon dioxide captured and subsequently released by the one or more adsorbent beds.
