In this review, the authors show how Process Systems Engineering 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. The authors 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.
