“…The first step is a particularly critical step with respect to the technical feasibility and cost of CCS processes. Currently, the commercially-available technique for CO 2 capture is based on amine scrubbers [4,5]. However, this technology is energy-intensive and imposes various economic and environmental penalties including those due to the degradation of the expensive amine-based solvents [6,7].…”

“…However, CO 2 capture by adsorption using activated carbon fibers and a carbon fiber component is regarded as an efficient approach when used in power plants [152]. Adsorption technology is attracting increasing attention due to its characteristics, which include minimum energy requirements, easy maintenance, simple operation and flexibility [153]. Amongst the adsorption processes reported in literature, temperature swing adsorption (TSA) is an advantageous process because it is inexpensive and uses less thermal energy.…”

Abstract:The global atmospheric concentration of anthropogenic gases, such as carbon dioxide, has increased substantially over the past few decades due to the high level of industrialization and urbanization that is occurring in developing countries, like South Africa. This has escalated the challenges of global warming. In South Africa, carbon capture and storage (CCS) from coal-fired power plants is attracting increasing attention as an alternative approach towards the mitigation of carbon dioxide emission. Therefore, innovative strategies and process optimization of CCS systems is essential in order to improve the process efficiency of this technology in South Africa. This review assesses the potential of CCS as an alternative approach to reducing the amount CO 2 emitted from the South African coal-fired power plants. It examines the various CCS processes that could be used for capturing the emitted CO 2 . Finally, it proposes the use of new adsorbents that could be incorporated towards the improvement of CCS technology.

“…According to International Energy Agency (IEA, 2011), in the next 20 years the world energy demand is expected to grow at an average rate of 1.8% on a yearly basis and in this scenario energy requirements will be still met mainly by fossil fuels, although the increasing contribution of renewable energy sources (Cau et al, 2014). The role of coal in power generation is expected to increase in near future due to its advantages in cost effectiveness and energy security issues.…”

“…coal combustion products (CCPs) and gaseous pollutants such as CO 2 are emitted when power plants burn coal to produce electricity. Technologies that can significantly reduce the emissions have been developed and are in wide commercial use, with further prospective developments toward 'near zero emission' power plants (Cau et al, 2014).…”

Electricity generation in coal fired power plants produces large amount of residues. These materials are known as coal combustion products (CCPs) and can release pollutants to the environment. However, CCPs are environmentally and technically suitable for uses in many areas. The utilisation of CCPs in these areas helps to reduce the overall harmful effects of coal combustion for electricity generation by stabilising the environmentally toxic pollutants. The current paper reveals the possible usage areas of improved ash and presents the general approaches have been developed to obtain improved fly ash. Electrostatic separator with tribocharging technique has great potential for utilisation of coal ash. It significantly contributes to reduce fly ash disposal problems. In recent years, triboelectrostatic separators have increased significantly for the feasibility and success of the implementation of electrostatic separation. Studies carried out by various researchers on triboelectrostatic separation for utilisation of fly ash were also compiled in this article.
