Design of a cryogenic CO2 capture system based on Stirling coolers

Abstract

a b s t r a c tIn this research, a novel cryogenic CO 2 capture system based on Stirling coolers has been developed. By the capture system designed, an effective separation can be achieved according to differences in condensation and desublimation. From the capture process, H 2 O and CO 2 can condense and desublimate at different parts of the capture system, while residual gas flows out without properties change. It is noteworthy that in the process, CO 2 can be captured in a solid form, thus avoiding the use of the solvents and consideration of pressure in other methods. Furthermore, two significant parameters (the temperature of Stirling coolers and the flow rate of the gas stream) were investigated in detail. The results showed that under the optimal temperature and flow rate, CO 2 recovery of the cryogenic process can reach 96%, which demonstrated that the system can capture CO 2 gas effectively.

Soybean Curd Residue: Composition, Utilization, and Related Limiting Factors

“…Particularly in Japan, most of the SCR is burnt which will create carbon dioxide [5]. Meanwhile, discarding of SCR as waste is a potential environmental problem because it is highly susceptible to putrefaction [6,7]. The environmental problems arising from the massive generation of residues have been attracting considerable attention [8].…”

“…By the developed process, above 99% of CO 2 could be recovered from a flue gas containing 10 vol.% CO 2 and 1 vol.% H 2 O with 1.8 MJ/kg CO 2 energy consumption [181]. …”

Energy Minimization in Cryogenic Packed Beds during Purification of Natural Gas with High CO2 Content

“…In 2011, Chun‐Fang et al 8 proposed a new process to capture CO 2 from flue gases using Stirling coolers. In this process, both H 2 O and CO 2 were desublimated at different locations of the capture setup and the permanent gas flows out without any phase change.…”
