Abstract: This paper clarified the significance of carbon capture and storage, outlined the characteristics and applications of three combustion system forms, and analyzed the feasibility of common separation techniques for carbon capture. It reviewed the industrial applications of pressure swing adsorption, temperature swing adsorption, vacuum swing adsorption and pressure-temperature swing adsorption in carbon capture, and introduced the application of waste heat utilization in carbon capture system. The characteristics of the four common types of adsorbents were also described in detail in the review, including zeolite molecular sieves, carbon-based materials, metal-organic frameworks, and solid amines. Adsorption processes suitable for the above adsorbents were briefly described in the article. With the further commercialization of carbon capture and storage（CCS）, the adsorption method has a broad space for development in the field of carbon capture.
