Titre : Ca(OH)2 superheating as a low - attrition steam reactivation method for CaO in calcium looping applications Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Vlatko Materic, Auteur ; Susan Edwards, Auteur ; Stuart I. Smedley, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : pp.12429-12434 Note générale : Chimie industrielle Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Attrition rate Calcium Carbonation/calcination cycle Dehydration reactions Dewatering Fluid-beds Fluidization Free lime Heat storage Hydration Initiation temperature Lime Non equilibrium Reactivation process Sorption Steam hydration Superheated state Temperature Thermodynamic equilibria water vapor Résumé : Steam hydration of lime is an effective method for restoring CO2 capture activity but gives rise to high particle attrition rates in a fluid bed reactor. This paper describes the phenomenon of Ca(OH)2 superheating, also referred to as superheated dehydration (SD). The potential of an attrition-free lime reactivation process using this phenomenon is also investigated. Attrition rates of the sorbent are measured when a reactivation step using steam hydration is implemented every three carbonation/calcination cycles. It has been shown that the presence of CO2 during the dehydration step reduces attrition during subsequent cycles. Experiments performed in a small fluid bed reactor show that the presence of 40-100% CO 2 during the dehydration step increases the initiation temperature of the decomposition of Ca(OH)2 from 445 to 618 °C. The thermodynamic equilibrium water vapor pressure for the dehydration reaction at 618 °C is 516 kPa, whereas no water vapor was detected in the reactor during the dehydration step before the temperature reached 618 °C. Under these circumstances it is proposed that the Ca(OH)2 is in a nonequilibrium "superheated state". A CO2 capture cycling experiment, with a reactivation step every three carbonation/calcination cycles, maintained an average activity of 60%, creating only 3.25% of fines DEWEY : 660 ISSN : 0888-5885 En ligne : http://www.irl.cri.nz/caoh2-superheating-low-attrition-steam-reactivation-method [...]

Titre : High temperature carbonation of Ca(OH)2 Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Vlatko Materic, Auteur ; Stuart I. Smedley, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : pp. 5927-5932 Note générale : Chimie industrielle Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Carbonation Résumé : Steam hydration is reported to be an effective method for reactivating spent sorbents in calcium looping applications; however, uncertainties remain regarding the optimal method of returning the hydrated sorbent to the CO2 capture loop. Carbonation conversions were found to be higher when Ca(OH)2 was directly carbonated at high temperatures compared to conversions reached when Ca(OH)2 was dehydrated prior to carbonation. This observation can lead to improved hydration based reactivation techniques for calcium looping applications. Upon heating in CO2, calcium hydroxide remained stable at temperatures >450 °C and the extent of carbonation was controlled by temperature only. The carbonation mechanism of Ca(OH)2 at high temperatures appears to be more complex than the expected simple mechanism comprising the dehydration reaction of Ca(OH)2 and the subsequent carbonation of the resulting CaO. An alternate mechanism was proposed, involving the formation of liquid like layers of water on the surface of Ca(OH)2.
