Process Integration in Coal based Oxy-Combustion Power Plants

The oxy-combustion technology is ready for demonstration [1]. However, the energy penalty and investment cost related to CO2 capture are still too high to implement this technology in the power industry. The thermal efficiency penalty is currently around 10% points, and as discussed in [2] it is commonly expected to be reduced to below 6% points in the near future. Improvements on the sub-units...

Homogeneous oxidation of mercury during combustion: A comparison between combustion in air and oxy-combustion

Since oxy-combustion is a relatively new technology, many problems associated with the behavior of coal in this novel combustion process still need to be solved. In particular, there is a lack of knowledge regarding the behavior of toxic trace elements, and there is a need to determine whether trace element distribution among the by-products and emissions to the environment, is comparable with ...

Energy and exergy analysis of chemical looping combustion technology and comparison with pre-combustion and oxy-fuel combustion technologies for CO2 capture

Carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted from conventional coal-based power plants is a growing concern for the environment. Chemical looping combustion (CLC), pre-combustion and oxy-fuel combustion are promising CO2 capture technologies which allow clean electricity generation from coal in an integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) power plant. This work compares the characteristics of the above thr...
