Abstract: | In synthesizing COF2 from CO, a considerable amount of CO2 is produced. A method of solidifying CO2 at low temperature and separating CO2 particles from the COF2 gas using a cyclone was designed and the separation efficiency according to the cyclone feature was studied. Optimal sizing
and operation conditions of the cyclone were investigated by reviewing the flow velocity profile and the particle trajectory
using a numerical analysis with computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The effects of the inlet flow velocity and the ratio of
the cyclone diameter to the cone length (D/L) on the recovery efficiency were estimated. Results revealed that the separation
efficiency increases with an increase in the ratio of D/L and a decrease in the cyclone size. The recovery efficiency of CO2 increases with the increase in the inlet flow velocity. Based on these results, we could propose a concept and methodology
to design the optimal features and sizing of a cyclone suitable for separating solid CO2 from gaseous COF2 at low temperature. |
