Enhancing CO2 concentration in exhaust gas has been considered as a potentially effective method to reduce the penalty of electrical efficiency caused by CO2 chemical absorption in post-combustion carbon capture systems. Supplementary firing is an option that inherently has an increased CO2...

Membrane gas absorption technology is a promising alternative to conventional technologies for the mitigation of acid gases. In this study, with a polypropylene (PP) hollow fiber membrane contactor as absorber and a packed column as stripper, the influence of SO2 on the CO2 capture from...

A rate-based model, RateFrac, in Aspen Plus process simulator, is used to simulate the CO2 absorption and regeneration processes of a research scale pilot plant. The simulation results of the CO2 absorption and regeneration predicted by the rate-based model are in good agreement with the...

This paper examined and assessed various configuration options about emission removal including particles, SOx and NOx in an oxy-coal combustion system for CO2 capture. A performance analysis was conducted in order to understand the impacts of those options concerning process design, process...

In previous research, a cryogenic system based on Stirling coolers has been developed. In this work, the novel system was applied on CO2 capture from post-combustion flue gas and different process parameters (i.e. flow rate of feed gas, temperature of Stirling cooler and operating condition)...

Membrane gas absorption technology is a promising alternative to conventional technologies for the mitigation of acid gases. In this study, simultaneous removal of SO2 and CO2 from coal-fired flue gas was carried out in a polypropylene hollow fiber membrane contactor using aqueous...

A dynamic model was developed to describe the oxidation of Cu in a large-scale Cu/CuO chemical looping process performed in adiabatic fixed-bed reactors at high pressure. An ideal plug flow pattern without axial dispersion or radial gradients and with negligible intra-particle concentrations and...

Chemical-looping combustion (CLC) of solid fuels is a technology with the potential of reducing the costs and energy penalty dramatically for CO2 capture. The potential for low costs is based on the similarity to coal combustion in fluidized beds. However, this assumes reaching high performance...

Among all the CCS strategies, post-combustion capture provides a near-term solution for stationary fossil fuel-fired power plants, eliminating the need for substantial modifications to existing combustion processes and facilities. In this respect, adsorption using solid sorbents has the...

Fossil fuels presently cater to majority of energy demand of the world. However, due to the climate change problem capture of CO2 emitted from the use of fossil fuels is emerging as a necessity. Alternately, developing technology with CO2 neutral fuels may reduce green house gas emission....
