Hufton, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : pp. 9320-9327 Note générale : Industrial chemistry Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Carbon  dioxide  Combustion  Absorbent Résumé : Capture of carbon dioxide from combustion processes presents a unique and challenging technical problem arising from low CO2 partial pressures, high flow rates, and the presence of water vapor and reactive contaminants such as SO2. A series of solid sorbents were evaluated to determine suitability for postcombustion capture. A lithium orthosilicate (Li4SiO4)-based absorbent supplied by Toshiba Corporation was found to have the most promising properties. The absorbent reacts chemically with CO2 at elevated temperatures (550 °C) to form lithium carbonate (Li2CO3) and lithium metasilicate (Li2SiO3). The presence of water vapor was shown to greatly enhance CO2 absorption rates without affecting capacity. Breakthrough capacities of ∼5―6 mmol/g (22-26 wt %) were obtained using a "clean" synthetic flue gas containing 15% CO2 and 10% H2O in N2 at 550 °C. Experimental studies showed that the absorbent used in a fixed bed process will likely require a thermal swing process with absorption at 550 °C and regeneration at 650 °C. Even for the high capacity of the Li4SiO4-based absorbent, an alternative to conventional fixed bed technology will be required for practical postcombustion capture from coal-fired power plants. Processes that can shorten cycle times by rapidly heating and cooling vessels and/or sorbents will be needed, and possible alternatives are described.
