CO2 capture

At a fixed pressure ratio, configuration (a) requires a lower installed membrane area but a higher investment and operating compression cost (the whole feed stream must be 

For the pre-combustion and oxyfuel capture processes, membranes based on alumina, zeolites, silica and carbon that show stability up to 300°C are generally proposed [27]. 

The removal of organic solvents from gas streams has been widely developed at the industrial level. The main industrial applications of vapour/gas membrane separation are [70]  

In the polymerization of vinyl chloride, side reactions generate unwanted gas and some small amounts of air leak into the reactors. These impurities must be vented from the process. However, the vented gas stream, although small, may contain several hundred 

Gasoline vapour recovery has become an important field for membrane application in the last few years. Several hundred retail gasoline stations, in fact, have installed small membrane systems for the recovery of the hydrocarbon vapours during the transfer of

The fourth example, the use of chemical processing on Mars for producing a propellant, is presented in Section 1.9.7 [106]. The fifth and last example describes the use of distributed systems for global carbon dioxide management, aiming at reducing the greenhouse effect [106]. The main issue here is the installation of gas-absorption equipment for CO2 capture at central, fossil-fuel power plants.

To reach a better CO conversion, it is possible to add a low-temperature shift reactor, which increases the CO2 capture rate (see also Fig. 10.3). If both clean CO2 for storage and clean hydrogen for fuel cell applications are required, a combination of a C02-capture plant (e.g., absorption with Rectisol) and a PSA plant is necessary. If only pure hydrogen is required, a PSA unit would be sufficient (and is standard practice), but the C02 stream would be contaminated by impurities, such as H2, N2 or CO, which have to be removed for geological storage.

In this chapter we limit ourselves to several mid-term options that can be used when the large scale use of hydrogen needs to be supplied by cost-effective production routes using available sources, being the reforming of natural gas, with CO2 capture, and the use of electrolysers that can be powered by renewable electricity. 

Novel Processes for Hydrogen Production with CO2 Capture 307... 

For combined hydrogen production and C02 capture several novel technologies are in development, most of them for the application in a pre-combustion C02 capture combined cycle. The main focus is to reduce the efficiency penalties and other associated costs of CO2 capture. The most important technologies in the R D phase, membrane reactors and sorption-enhanced reactors, are described below, with special attention paid to the catalytic aspects. 

CO2 capture from fuel gas mixtures. Figure 10 shows a conceptual hydrate-based process for the separation of CO2 from a fuel gas. Only two hydrate stages are needed in this case to recover a 98-99 mol % of CO2 (Linga et al., 2007b Kumar et al., 2006). 

Methods now used to separate (capture) COj from other gases include solvent techniques and membrane separations. Both methods require energy input to recover COj. More efficient, lower-cost separation techniques would improve the feasibility of CO2 capture.

The example CO2 capture process, shown in Figure 8 as an Aspen Plus EO model representation, is part of an ammonia plant. Designed to scrub CO2 from ammonia synthesis gas, it includes an absorber and two solution regeneration columns, one stripping the rich, C02 laden solution leaving the absorber to semilean concentration of absorbed CO2, and the other cleaning the solution even further to lean solution... 

For the CO2 capture system, the parameter cases update all significant equipment performance to match observed data. The primary performance of this system is the CO2 absorber slip and the energy required to regenerate the solution to semilean and lean solution quality. The model can be made to match observed performance in several ways. Measurements are available for the lean and semilean...
