Analysis of electrochemical CO2 concentrating process

Electrochemical CO_2 concentrating process were analyzed for accurately predicting the performance over operating electrochemical depolarized CO_2 concentrator (EDC). In an EDC, numerous physical, chemical and electrochemical processes interact simultaneously. These processes were experimentally defined and characterized mathematically for computering solution to predict EDC performance as function of the operating parameters involved. The concentrator was divided into several subcells in the direction of air flow, and for each subcell mass transfer was considered only in the direction perpendicular to the electrodes. Thus a subcell was divided into five zones characterized by different dominating transport or reaction mechanisms, and the dominating mechanisms in each zone were discussed separately. Experiments for supporting the mathematical analysis were carried out to study the transient response of a cell to changes of process air inlet p_(CO2), current density and CO_2 concentration at H_2 out. The process analysis agreed well with the experimental results, thus confirmed the proposed reaction mechanisms.
