Abstract

Addressing the increasingly severe issues of carbon dioxide emissions pollution and intensified greenhouse effects, this paper focuses on a systematic analysis of carbon dioxide capture technologies and resource utilisation. It aims to explore synergistic optimisation pathways for carbon capture and subsequent resource conversion, filling a gap in existing research that predominantly concentrates on single domains or industries. The study primarily employs literature analysis, case studies, and inductive summarisation to systematically outline the types, characteristics, and core pathways for resource utilisation within carbon capture technologies. Results indicate that physical adsorption methods (utilising core materials such as MOFs and activated carbon), membrane separation techniques, and bioenzymatic approaches each possess distinct advantages and disadvantages, rendering them suitable for different operational scenarios. Resource utilisation can be achieved through chemical synthesis, biological applications (microalgal fixation, carbon-enriched agriculture), and enhanced oil recovery. Among these, chemical synthesis coupled with solid waste co-disposal technologies offer both environmental benefits and economic viability, demonstrating considerable application potential. This paper summarises current technological developments and application potential, noting existing research limitations such as insufficient case studies and limited sample sizes. It proposes that future research should expand sample scope through practical production cases to deepen understanding. This study provides technical guidance for synergistic optimisation of carbon capture and resource utilisation, holding practical significance for advancing low-carbon green development.
