Benchmarking of a novel solid sorbent CO2 capture process for NGCC power generation

Advanced Modeling and Control of a Solid Sorbent-Based CO2 Capture Process

Solid sorbent-based CO2 capture from flue gas provides a novel alternative to traditional solvent-based processes due to potentially lower energy consumption for regeneration. Optimal operation of such a gas-solid flow process requires an advanced control framework for efficient disturbance rejection and setpoint tracking. This work focuses on the development of computationally fast and accurat...

Development of New Potassium Carbonate Sorbent for CO2 Capture under Real Flue Gas Conditions

In this paper, the development of a new potassium carbonateon alumina support sorbent prepared by impregnating K2CO3 with an industrial grade of Al2O3 support was investigated. The CO2 capture capacity was measured using real flue gas with 8% CO2 and 12% H2O in a fixed-bed reactor at a temperature of 65 °C using breakthrough curves. The developed sorbent showed an adsorption capacity of 66.2 mg...

Nitrogen enriched solid sorbents for CO2 capture

Reducing anthropogenic CO2 emissions to slow down the consequences of climate change concerns all developed countries. In the short term, one of the most viable options to cut down carbon emissions consists on CO2 capture and storage from large stationary sources such as power stations, cement plants, refineries, etc. The near-ready-to-use technology at this scale is amine scrubbing. However, i...

Simulation of Co2 Capture Process

Carbon dioxide capture process has been simulated and studied under different process conditions. It has been shown that several process parameters such as lean amine temperature, number of adsorber stages, number of stripper stages and stripper pressure affect different process conditions and outputs such as carbon dioxide removal and reboiler duty. It may be concluded that the simulation of c...
