The aim of this work was to evaluate the performance of three different supported amine sorbents in a 6‐step vacuum swing adsorption (VSA) cycle through process simulation and optimization for a representative post‐combustion CO 2 capture system. Detailed process optimization revealed that all the adsorbents were able to achieve the desired purity‐recovery targets. The best performing adsorbent in terms of productivity was Lewatit with a productivity of 0.48 mol m −3 ads s −1 . All the adsorbents exhibited similar minimum specific energy value of around 1 MJ kg −1 on an electric basis.
