Abstract:

This study presents a process modelling and techno-economic assessment of a hybrid adsorption and low-temperature swing (HALT) process for an industrial CO2 capture case. The system, designed for pulp mill flue gas, employs activated carbon in a dual-cycle temperature supported vacuum swing adsorption (TVSA) configuration. Simulation results demonstrate 98% CO2 purity and 94% recovery with an estimated capture cost of €42 per ton when low-grade energy of the pulp mill is applied. The findings highlight the feasibility of proposed adsorption-based carbon capture as a cost-effective and scalable solution for bio-based industrial applications.
