ADSORPTION METHOD FOR CO2 CAPTURE: EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS AND TECHNO-ECONOMIC ANALYSIS

In terms of CO2 capture by adsorption, this work aimed at preparing an appropriate adsorbent based on commercially available adsorbents and at a practical verification of a technical concept of adsorption method based on rotational adsorber in operational conditions of a lignite-fired power plant. Adsorption-based separation of CO2 from flue gas originating from lignite power plant was designed considering conditions of the Czech Republic. The technology was tested in pilot scale with model gas mixture and then was operated with real flue gas. The results obtained from pilot-scale experiments were used for technical design of CO2 adsorption from flue gas for a given power plant and local fuel. Then, optimization and integration with power plant was carried out and main economic criteria of power plant with CCS were evaluated.
