摘要
The effects of the sorption and the regeneration temperatures on the performance of a novel rapid thermal swing chemisorption (RTSC) process (Lee and Sircar in AIChE J. 54:2293-2302, 2008) for removal and recovery of CO2 from an industrial flue gas without pre-compression, pre-drying, or pre-cooling of the gas were mathematically simulated. The process directly produced a nearly pure, compressed CO2 by-product stream which will facilitate its subsequent sequestration. Na2O promoted alumina was used as the CO2 selective chemisorbent, and the preferred temperatures were found to be, respectively, 150 and 450 degrees C for the sorption and regeneration steps of the process. The specific cyclic CO2 production capacity of the process and the pressure of the by-product CO2 gas were substantially increased over those previously achieved by using the sorption and regeneration temperature of, respectively, 200 and 500 degrees C (Lee and Sircar in AIChE J. 54:2293-2302, 2008). The net compressed CO2 recovery from the flue gas (similar to 92%) did not change. However, substantially different amounts of high and low pressure steam purges were necessary for comparable degree of desorption of CO2. A first pass estimation of the capital and the operating costs of the RTSC process was carried out for a relatively moderate size application (flue gas clean up and CO2 recovery from a similar to 80 MW coal fired power plant). Both costs were substantially lower than those for a conventional absorption process using MEA as the CO2 solvent (Desideri and Paolucci in Energy Convers. Manag. 40:1899-1915, 1999).
