High-gravity chemical engineering in volatile organic compounds capture

Efficient capture of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) remains a significant challenge in industrial emissions control. High- gravity (HiGee) technology particularly through the use of rotating packed beds (RPBs) depicts an innovation in this field. RPBs offer a compact, energy-efficient solution for optimizing VOC elimination, addressing both hydrophobic and hydrophilic compounds. As industries face growing regulator pressures and ambitious environmental targets, the adoption of RPBs becomes increasingly attractive for VOC mitigation. This review delves into the mechanism underlying HiGee technology and its role in VOC capture, highlighting its unique ability to fine-tune functionality for specific industrial applications. The discussion encompasses the various applications of HiGee technology in VOC treatment, providing a comprehensive overview of its environmental impacts. The review also identifies future research directions aimed at enhancing the efficiency and expanding the applicability of RPBs in VOC mitigation processes.
