High Capital & Operational Costs Structural & Mechanical Instability Massive Energy Inefficiency PROBLEMS SOLUTION Develop a 3D-printed conductive activated carbon filter that captures CO₂ from industrial exhausts and uses Joule heating for rapid regeneration, enabling continuous, energy-efficient CO₂ recovery and reuse.<br>

SOLUTION Develop a 3D-printed conductive activated carbon filter that captures CO₂ from industrial exhausts and uses Joule heating for rapid regeneration, enabling continuous, energy-efficient CO₂ recovery and reuse. Step 1 Capture Step 2 Step 3 The Rinse Extraction Step 1: Capture (Adsorption):- The dry, cool flue gas is blown through the channels of the 3D-printed monolith.
As the gas flows through the 3D-printed channels, CO2 molecules stick (adsorb) to the massive internal surface area of the activated carbon.
The clean nitrogen and oxygen pass straight through the channels and exit out of the main chimney.<br>

Step 1 Capture Step 2 Step 3 The Rinse Extraction Step 2: The Rinse (Boosting Purity) Before we turn on the electricity to extract the CO2, some nitrogen and oxygen will still be trapped in the empty spaces inside the monolith channels.
A small "rinse" step—using a stream of pure CO2—is flushed through the bed. This pushes out the leftover air, ensuring that when we heat the monolith next, we collect only pure CO2.<br>

SOLUTION Develop a 3D-printed conductive activated carbon filter that captures CO₂ from industrial exhausts and uses Joule heating for rapid regeneration, enabling continuous, energy-efficient CO₂ recovery and reuse. Step 1 Capture Step 2 Step 3 The Rinse Extraction Step 3: Extraction (Joule Heating & Desorption) Once the monolith is saturated with CO2, the exhaust gas flow is diverted to a second, identical carbon bed so the factory never has to stop emitting. Now, extraction begins on the first bed:Zap it: An electrical voltage (like the 8V mentioned in the study) is applied directly to the conductive monolith.
Rapid Heating: Within 30 seconds, the monolith heats up uniformly to 120°C–150°C.
Release: The thermal energy breaks the weak physical bonds holding the CO2 to the carbon. The CO2 desorbs (releases) back into a gas phase.
Collect: A minor purge gas or vacuum pump sweeps the concentrated, pure CO2 out of the column and into storage tanks, where it can be compressed, buried underground (sequestration), or sold to make synthetic fuels and materials.<br>
