Experimental Studies of CO2 Capturing from the Flue Gases

CO2 emissions from combustion flue gases have turned into a major factor in global warming. Post-combustion carbon capture (PCC) from industrial utility flue gases by reactive absorption can substantially reduce the emissions of the greenhouse gas CO2. To test a new solvent (AIT600) for this purpose, a small pilot plant was used. This paper presents the results of studies ...

Sorbent attrition in a carbonation/calcination pilot plant for capturing CO2 from flue gases

There is increasing interest in CO2 looping cycles that involve the repeated calcination and carbonation of the sorbent as a way to capture CO2 from flue gases during the carbonation step and the generation of a pure stream of CO2 in the oxyfired calcination step. In particular, attrition of the material in these interconnected fluidized bed reactors is a problem of general concern. Attrition o...

Theoretical and Experimental Investigation of SO2 Adsorption from Flue Gases in a Fluidized Bed of Copper Oxide

Among the air pollutants, sulfur dioxide has been given special emphasis for posing dangers to the environment. SO2 emissions in the air have harmful effects on human health and the environment. Respiratory diseases and exacerbation of heart diseases are among dangerous symptoms for human health, especially when high concentrations of SO2 are emitted. Therefore, in the present study, a wide var...

Precipitation regime for selected amino acid salts for CO2 capture from flue gases

The tendency of alkaline (sodium, potassium and lithium) salts of taurine, β-alanine, sarcosine and L-proline to form precipitates under varying operational conditions of CO2 absorption has been investigated. CO2 absorption experiments have been performed at 293.15 and 313.15 K, at partial pressures relevant for capturing CO2 from flue gas conditions and amino acid salt concentrations up to the...

Experimental Studies of Model Drug Delivery Using Superpulse CO2 Laser

Capturing greenhouse gases.

til very recently, scientists still deliberated whether human activity was altering the global climate. Specifically, was the release of greenhouse gases, which trap heat radiating from the earth’s surface, to blame? With scientific evidence mounting in favor of the affirmative, the discussion is now turning to what steps society can take to protect our climate. One solution almost certainly wi...
