Flue-Gas CO2 Recovery and Fixation Technologies.

Flue gas treatment for CO2 capture

This report is in two sections: the first describes the flue gas and its treatment in post-combustion capture and the second covers the flue gas in oxyfuel combustion capture. The main components of the flue gas in pulverised coal combustion for postcombustion capture are CO2, N2, O2 and H2O, and air pollutants such as SOx, NOx, particulates, HCl, HF, mercury as well as other contaminants. The ...

Energy Savings Potential through Waste Heat Recovery from Flue Gas for Post Combustion Co2 Capture

Flue gas from a plant using fossil fuels contains CO2. Thus power/process plants using fossil fuels contribute to climate change if CO2 in flue gas is not captured. The process of CO2 capture from flue gas is called „postcombustion‟ CO2 capture. Existing plants may be retrofitted with this process to minimize CO2 emission. Amine solutions are mostly used for this process to scrub the flue gas. ...

Solvent Formulation for CO2 Separation from Flue Gas Streams

CO2 separation using reactive solvents is considered to be a technically viable option for capturing of CO2 from flue gas streams. However, the cost of CO2 capture using conventional solvents such as aqueous solutions of monoethanolamine (MEA) is prohibitively high. Nearly half of the total cost is due to operational costs, of which about 70 to 80% can be contributed to the cost of regeneration...

Flue Gas Conditioning

Flue gas conditioning (FGC) systems offer an effective option for control of Particulate Matter (PM) emissions and enhances the performance of the Electrostatic Precipitators (EPs) when using coal of different properties. The increasing environmental awareness and the mandate of the Environmental Protection Agencies (EPA) in various countries to thermal power stations using coal-fired boilers f...
