CO₂ capture and mineralization using carbide slag doped fly ash

Abstract

A novel direct gas–solid mineral carbonation process using carbide slag doped fly ash to capture and mineralize CO2 from flue gas was developed to overcome the barriers of long reaction time and large reactor size from aqueous processes. A laboratory‐scale fixed bed reactor with a thermogravimetric analyser and a pilot‐scale circulating entrained‐flow bed (CEB) rector system were constructed to investigate the intensification method and reaction parameters. The carbonation efficiency (ζCa [%]) was improved four times by carbide slag doped fly ash in a semi‐dry atmosphere; thus, the active calcium hydroxide from carbide slag and fly ash can react with CO2 in a thin liquid film through an ionic reaction route. The key reaction parameters, such as temperature, steam addition and water injection, were studied to promote Ca(OH)2 formation and to facilitate CO2 diffusion. As a result of the pilot‐scale experiment, carbonation efficiency achieved a maximum value of 55% with 15% steam addition in the feed and 6 kg h–1 water injection into CEB at 550 °C. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Process modifications for a hot potassium carbonate‐based CO2capture system: a comparative study

“…1 Although the use of renewables for energy generation and efficient end-use of fuel and electricity are anticipated to have the greatest impacts on emission reductions, carbon capture and storage (CCS) is admittedly necessary to attain the goals set by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). 2,3 Consistent with the International Energy Agency (IEA) modelling, CCS is able to contribute to 13% of the cumulative emission reductions needed by 2060 to restrict the global average temperature rise to 2°C. This makes CCS the third-largest clean energy technology behind efficient energy use (39%) and renewable energy production (36%).…”

A Review on CO2 Sequestration via Mineralization of Coal Fly Ash

“…It was mainly attributed to a thin liquid film formed on the surface of fly ash that facilitated CO 2 diffusion. At 550 • C, a maximal carbonation efficiency of 55% was obtained when adding 15% steam to the feed and injecting 6 kg/h of water into the rector system [69].…”

Comparison of CO2 absorption performance between methyl‐di‐ ethanolamine and tri‐ethanolamine solution systems and its analysis in terms of amine molecules

“…The increase of anthropogenic CO 2 emission is causing serious global warming 1–3 . Carbon capture and storage (CCS), one of the available options to reduce CO 2 emissions, 4–6 is a technology to selectively capture CO 2 from the flue gas generated in various industrial processes with a CO 2 concentration range of about 4 (natural gas power plant) ∼30 mol% (maximum in cement plant) in order to reduce atmospheric emissions 7 .…”
