Abstract: The present invention is directed to the use of artificial polymers in the mimetization of enzymatic active sites and the carrying-out of catalysis using these artificial enzymes. Further, as used herein, an artificial enzyme refers more generally to a polymer-based scaffold for presenting specific chemically active atoms optimally for reactions, not just those that mimic natural enzymes. Various polymers can be used for this mimetization, including polyimides, polyurea, polyurethane, polyacrylic acid, and polylactic acid, as well as other polymers having properties and functionality that enable integration with natural and artificial amino acids, other molecules having nucleophilic and electrophilic groups (akin to the amine and carboxyl functionalities, respectively, of amino acids), as well as other molecules contributing unique chemical abilities not usually associated with the orthogonal functions inherent in most amino acids, i.e., amines, carboxyls, formamides, hydroxyls, mercaptyls and saturated hydrocarbons.

Abstract: Since CO2 is identified as a main greenhouse gas, its capture and storage is essential to control global warming.  Flexible, optimized operation of CCPPs (combined cycle power plants) with a CO2 capture system (18) will increase the competitiveness of CCPPs designed for CO2 capture and will allow earlier introduction of this kind of plants. The main objective of the present invention is to provide a method for the optimized operation of a CCPP  with flue gas recirculation and CO2 capture system (18) as well as a plant designed to operate according to this method. To this end a combination of two parameters to optimize the overall plant efficiency is proposed. These are CO2 concentration in the flue gases, and the re- cooling temperature of the recirculated flue gases. Additionally it is found to be advantageous to control the flue gas flow, which is sent to the CO2 capture system (18). These parameters are given as functions over load to optimize the overall plant efficiency including the CO2 capture system (18). Besides the method a power plant designed to operate according to this method is subject of the present invention.  Further, admixing of oxygen or oxygen enriched air to the gas turbine inlet gases (3) to enhance operatability is proposed.
