“…First and foremost, most of the studies are concentrated on equilibrium, adsorption kinetics and stability tests. Very few studies have been carried out to evaluate the performance of supported amine sorbents in the context of a cyclic adsorption processes such as VSA/ TSA [31][32][33][34][35][36]. Therefore, there is not enough information on whether the adsorbent will be able to achieve the DOE targets (95 % purity and 90 % capture rate) and if so, what would the minimum specific energy consumption and the productivity of the adsorption process using these adsorbents.…”

The aim of this work was to evaluate the performance of three different supported amine sorbents in a 6-step vacuum swing adsorption (VSA) cycle through process simulation and optimization for a representative post-combustion CO 2 capture system. Detailed process optimization revealed that all the adsorbents were able to achieve the desired purityrecovery targets. The best performing adsorbent in terms of productivity was Lewatit with a productivity of 0.48 mol m -3 ads s -1 . All the adsorbents exhibited similar minimum specific energy value of around 1 MJ kg -1 on an electric basis.

“…The code is a powerful and flexible tool that can accurately predict the performance of a wide variety of chemical processes and power generation systems. GS was originally designed to assess the performance of gas-steam cycles for power production [ 44 ] and has been progressively developed and improved to calculate complex systems including coal gasification, chemical reactors, fuel cells and essentially all the processes present in advanced plants for power generation [ 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 ]. When addressing the new oxy-fuel furnace solutions, the detailed membrane model, as previously described, is employed to propose a reactor design which could fit the process operating conditions derived from GS.…”

Glass manufacturing is an energy-intensive process in which oxy-fuel combustion can offer advantages over the traditional air-blown approach. Examples include the reduction of NOx and particulate emissions, improved furnace operations and enhanced heat transfer. This paper presents a one-dimensional mathematical model solving mass, momentum and energy balances for a planar oxygen transport membrane module. The main modelling parameters describing the surface oxygen kinetics and the microstructure morphology of the support are calibrated on experimental data obtained for a 30 μm thick dense La0.6Sr0.4Co0.2Fe0.8O3-δ (LSCF) membrane layer, supported on a 0.7 mm porous LSCF structure. The model is then used to design and evaluate the performance of an oxygen transport membrane module integrated in a glass melting furnace. Three different oxy-fuel glass furnaces based on oxygen transport membrane and vacuum swing adsorption systems are compared to a reference air-blown unit. The analysis shows that the most efficient membrane-based oxyfuel furnace cuts the energy demand by ~22% as compared to the benchmark air-blown case. A preliminary economic assessment shows that membranes can reduce the overall glass production costs compared to oxyfuel plants based on vacuum swing adsorption technology.

“…The main factors affecting the partial pressure of the regeneration process are the purge gas flow (N 2 ) and temperature. [ 54 ] In this section, four regeneration pressures are set (0.03, 0.04, 0.05, and 0.06 MPa). The energy consumption, COP CO2 , exergy efficiency, minimum separation work, and loss work are analyzed for the four different regeneration pressures, with the other state parameters kept constant.…”

Climate issues, especially linked to the greenhouse effect and global warming, are receiving increasing attention. The most direct cause is the overproduction of anthropogenic carbon dioxide. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is one of the main strategies for mitigating and controlling CO 2 emissions from large emission sources, as well as achieving large-scale CO 2 emission reductions. [1] In October 2018, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released the 1.5 C Special Report in Incheon, which found that global CO 2 emissions would need to fall by %45% from 2010 levels by 2030, and that the world should aim to be carbon neutral by %2050 by removing CO 2 from the air to stabilize remaining emissions. [2] In June 2019, China released The Third Information Bulletin and The Second Biennial Update, which highlighted CO 2 as the main greenhouse gas emitted by China. However, compared with 2005, China's energy-related CO 2 emissions per unit of GDP decreased by 40.7% in 2016. Nevertheless, the rapid and widespread reduction in carbon emissions is required from all sectors to limit the global temperature rise to 1.5 C or even 2 C. [3] The desire for a shared future for mankind has prompted China to establish increasingly severe emission-control scenarios that call for accelerated development of practical carbon capture technology. [4] However, a lack of generalized methods and reasonable benchmarking analysis of the energy efficiency of typical carbon capture technologies may lead to low reliability, poor generalization, and even contrasting research conclusions regarding their energy efficiency and energy consumption. Thus, an adequate benchmarking analysis framework is urgently required for carbon capture technology. CCS is widely regarded as a new solution to the common challenges currently faced by human society. [5] However, in recent years, CCS research has been inhibited by the "old" problem of excess specific-heat consumption. Thus, it is difficult to promote technological development with sustainable cost control. Moreover, according to the first law of thermodynamics, current carbon capture technology typically requires heat consumption of 3-4 GJ to capture 1 ton of CO 2. [6] Furthermore, its theoretical exergy efficiency is generally below 20% and it exhibits low technology maturity, despite substantial potential for energy conservation and consumption reduction. [7] For post-combustion CO 2 capture, the feasibility of several technologies (such as absorption, adsorption, membrane, and cryogenic methods) has previously been demonstrated. [8] Adsorption is considered to be a
