Technico‐economical assessment of MFI‐type zeolite membranes for CO2 capture from postcombustion flue gases

A detailed survey of the effect of moisture on the CO₂/N₂ permeation and separation performance of Mobile Five (MFI) zeolite membranes in view of downstream postcombustion CO₂ capture applications in power plants and incinerators is presented. The membranes, displaying a nanocomposite architecture, have been prepared on α‐alumina tubes by pore‐plugging hydrothermal synthesis at 443 K for 89 h using a precursor clear solution with molar composition 1 SiO₂:0.45 tetrapropylammonium hydroxide:27.8 H₂O. The synthesized membranes present reasonable permeation and CO₂/N₂ separation properties even in the presence of high water concentrations in the gas stream. A critical discussion is also provided on the technico‐economical feasibility (i.e., CO₂ recovery, CO₂ purity in the permeate, module volume, and energy consumption) of a membrane cascade unit for CO₂ capture and liquefaction/supercritical storage from standard flue gases emitted from an incinerator. Our results suggest that the permeate pressure should be kept under primary vacuum to promote the CO₂ driving force within the membrane. © 2011 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 58: 3183–3194, 2012     

Efficient capture of CO2 from flue gas at high temperature by tunable polyamine-based hybrid ionic liquids

For an ideal absorbent for CO₂ capture from flue gas, there are some key features including easy preparation, high stability, low absorption enthalpy, high capacity at high temperature and excellent reversibility. Herein, several polyamine-functionalized ionic liquids (ILs) were easily prepared from cheap polyamines and lithium salts, which exhibited significantly improved stability due to the presence of multisite coordinating interactions. The viscosity was reduced by introducing polyalcohol-based ILs, leading to polyamine-based hybrid ILs. Interestingly, these polyamine-based hybrid ILs exhibited high CO₂ capacity (4.09 mmol/g, 0.1 bar) at high temperature (80°C) and excellent reversibility in the presence of H₂O and O₂, which is superior to many other good absorbents. Moreover, these ILs also showed good performance for CO₂ capture from stimulated air (2.10 mmol/g, 380 ppm). We believe that this method with easy preparation, low cost, high efficiency and excellent reversibility has a great potential in the industrial capture of CO₂ from flue gas.

真空变压吸附捕集烟道气中二氧化碳的模拟、实验及分析

采用工业硅胶作为吸附剂,利用两塔变压吸附装置进行了烟道气变压吸附碳捕集实验。利用gPROMS软件建立两塔变压吸附模型对实验过程进行模拟,对比了实验和模拟的结果,验证了模型的准确性。通过两塔变压吸附可将15%的CO₂富集到74%,收率为91.52%。在模型基础上考察了变压吸附碳捕集过程中进料量、吸附时间、顺放压力与二氧化碳收率、纯度和能耗的关系,定性分析了吸附塔压力和进料量对压缩机能耗的影响。结果表明:增大进料量、延长吸附时间、降低顺放压力,可以有效提高产品气中CO₂浓度,但同时也导致收率的下降,前两者还会造成单位能耗的增加;吸附压力越高,进料流量越大,压缩机能耗越大。     

环戊烷/水乳化液水合法捕获烟道气中CO_2(英文)

Capture of CO2 by hydrate is one of the attractive technologies for reducing greenhouse effect.The primary challenges are the large energy consumption,low hydrate formation rate and separation efficiency.This work presents a new method for capture of CO2 from simulated flue gasCO2(16.60%,by mole) /N2 binary mixture by formation of cyclopentane(CP) hydrates at initial temperature of 8.1°C with the feed pressures from 2.49 to 3.95 MPa.The effect of cyclopentane and cyclopentane/water emulsion on the hydrate formation rate and CO2 separation efficiency was studied in a 1000 ml stirred reactor.The results showed the hydrate formation rate could be increased remarkably with cyclopentane/water emulsion.CO2 could be enriched to 43.97%(by mole) and 35.29%(by mole) from simulated flue gas with cyclopentane and cyclopentane/water(O/W) emulsion,respectively,by one stage hydrate separation under low feed pressure.CO2 separation factor with cyclopentane was 6.18,higher than that with cyclopentane/water emulsion(4.01) ,in the range of the feed pressure.The results demonstrated that cyclopentane/water emulsion is a good additive for efficient hydrate capture of CO2.     

Application of polyethylenimine‐impregnated solid adsorbents for direct capture of low‐concentration CO2

A systematic study of CO₂ capture on the amine‐impregnated solid adsorbents is carried out at CO₂ concentrations in the range of 400–5000 ppm, relating to the direct CO₂ capture from atmospheric air. The commercially available polymethacrylate‐based HP2MGL and polyethylenimine are screened to be the suitable support and amine, respectively, for preparation of the adsorbent. The adsorbents exhibit an excellent saturation adsorption capacity of 1.96 mmol/g for 400 ppm CO₂ and 2.13 mmol/g for 5000 ppm CO₂. Moisture plays a promoting effect on CO₂ adsorption but depends on the relative humidity. The presence of O₂ would lead to the decrease of adsorption capacity but do not affect the cyclic performance. The diffusion additive is efficient to improve the adsorption capacity and cyclic performance. Moreover, the adsorbents can be easily regenerated under a mild temperature. This study may have a positive impact on the design of high‐performance adsorbents for CO₂ capture from ambient air. © 2014 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 61: 972–980, 2015

燃煤电厂CO2捕集中烟气预处理系统的优化模拟

在燃煤电厂CO₂捕集中,为了提高其捕集效率,需对进入系统的烟气进行预处理。为进一步提高进入系统烟气的质量,本文用Aspen Plus模拟优化烟气预处理系统,通过研究在预洗塔中组合填料、填料层高度、吸收剂进量和分层进吸收剂对出口烟气中SO₂的含量、脱硫效率以及出口烟气温度的影响,得出最佳的工艺条件。模拟结果表明,加入不同种类组合填料,同种类不同型号组合填料和分层进吸收剂都使烟气脱硫效率增加,出口烟气温度降低;随着填料层高度和吸收剂进量的增加,出口烟气中SO₂的含量和出口烟气温度降低,其中最佳的高度为2~4m,最佳的吸收剂进量为(250~350)×10³kg/h。

Characteristics and so2 capture capacities of sorbents prepared from products of spray-drying flue gas desulfurization

The characteristics and the SO₂ capture capacities of sorbents prepared from products of spray-drying flue gas desulfurization (FGD) have been studied. Sorbents were prepared by first slurrying Ca(OH)₂ and CaSO₃ and/or CaSO₄ with and without the addition of fly ash and then drying. Compared to the use of pure Ca(OH)₂, the SO₂ capture and Ca(OH)₂ utilization decreased for sorbents prepared without fly ash and increased for sorbents with fly ash. Flakelike ill-crystallized tobermorites were observed for all the sorbents containing fly ash. In addition, significant amounts of needle-shape Ca₄Al₂(OH)₁₂SO₄ . 6H₂O and Ca₆Al₂ (OH)₁₂(SO₄)₃ . 26H₂O (ettringite) were also observed for the sorbents containing CaSO₃ and/or CaSO₄. These newly formed compounds dissociated into CaSO₃ . 0.5 H₂O and inert precursors upon sulfation, and were responsible for the high SO₂ capture capacities and Ca(OH)₂ utilizations of the sorbents prepared with fly ash.

Recent progress of amine modified sorbents for capturing CO2 from flue gas

Under the Paris agreement, China has committed to reducing CO₂ emissions by 60%–65% per unit of GDP by 2030. Since CO₂ emissions from coal-fired power plants currently account for over 30% of the total carbon emissions in China, it will be necessary to mitigate at least some of these emissions to achieve this goal. Studies by the International Energy Agency (IEA) indicate CCS technology has the potential to contribute 14% of global emission reductions, followed by 40% of higher energy efficiency and 35% of renewable energy, which is considered as the most promising technology to significantly reduce carbon emissions for current coal-fired power plants. Moreover, the announcement of a Chinese national carbon trading market in late 2017 signals an opportunity for the commercial deployment of CO₂ capture technologies.Currently, the only commercially demonstrated technology for post-combustion CO₂ capture technology from power plants is solvent-based absorption. While commercially viable, the costs of deploying this technology are high. This has motivated efforts to develop more affordable alternatives, including advanced solvents, membranes, and sorbent capture systems. Of these approaches, advanced solvents have received the most attention in terms of research and demonstration. In contrast, sorbent capture technology has less attention, despite its potential for much lower energy consumption due to the absence of water in the sorbent. This paper reviews recent progress in the development of sorbent materials modified by amine functionalities with an emphasis on material characterization methods and the effects of operating conditions on performance. The main problems and challenges that need to be overcome to improve the competitiveness of sorbent-based capture technologies are discussed.
