However, its widespread deployment is challenged by high energy requirements, water management, sorbent degradation, integration with variable renewable energy sources, and fluctuating climatic conditions. The design, operation, and control of solid adsorption-DAC systems is a complex problem that requires holistic engineering of the adsorbent material, adsorption system, DAC process, and upstream and downstream operations. In this review, we show how Process Systems Engineering (PSE) can address this multiscale system design challenge by highlighting recent PSE advancements in three areas: (i) process-informed sorbent selection, (ii) heat integration and water management, and (iii) technological viability assessments. We summarize the progress that PSE has made in connecting sorbent properties to system design and optimization, outlining the key metrics and workflow needed to advance from sorbent to comprehensive system evaluation. We highlight effective energy and resource management strategies, such as DAC integration with heat and power generation, the use of renewable electricity or underutilized sources from existing infrastructure, and combined heat and water integration. For viability assessments, we emphasize comprehensive approaches that integrate technoeconomic and life cycle assessments with sorbent degradation, geospatial analysis, and scaling predictions. We conclude with future PSE directions that will be important for scaling adsorption-DAC, including process strategies for variable energy and climate conditions, predictive sorbent degradation models, and optimized scheduling to balance energy and capital.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":292,"journal":{"name":"Current Opinion in Chemical Engineering","volume":"51 ","pages":"Article 101202"},"PeriodicalIF":6.8,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145733774","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These advancements have been instrumental in opening new frontiers and identifying fundamental challenges. However, many issues only emerge during scale-up, including limitations related to reactor design, mass transfer, and process stability. We illustrate the need for systematic investigations at pilot and industrial scales, not only to identify and overcome these scale-dependent challenges but also to identify and leverage advantages that come with process intensification and integration.

Among available technologies, alkaline water electrolysis (AWE) offers a scalable, cost-effective pathway that avoids reliance on critical raw materials such as precious metals. However, AWE systems must operate under increasingly demanding conditions such as frequent start-up and shut-down cycles driven by intermittent renewable power, which can be mitigated, however, at an increase in capital and operational costs. Furthermore, AWE systems for economic viability need to operate under high current densities. Despite this, most academic studies are still conducted at low current densities and room temperature, conditions far removed from industrial relevance. This review critically examines the limitations of such traditional testing approaches and highlights recent advances in evaluating catalyst activity and durability under industry-representative conditions: elevated temperatures (60–80°C), concentrated electrolytes (20–40 wt% KOH), and high current densities (≥1 A cm⁻²). We explore innovative laboratory-scale cell designs, three-electrode configurations for intrinsic activity screening, and custom single-cell setups that mimic commercial stacks. The importance of long-term stability testing, including accelerated stress tests simulating intermittent operation, is emphasized. Finally, the need for standardized protocols and interlaboratory validation is underscored as essential for bridging the gap between academic research and industrial deployment of robust, non-precious AWE electrodes.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":292,"journal":{"name":"Current Opinion in Chemical Engineering","volume":"51 ","pages":"Article 101205"},"PeriodicalIF":6.8,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145733690","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
