Abstract:

Carbon capture (CC) in industrial processes is a promising strategy to reduce anthropogenic emission of carbon dioxide (CO2) in short and middle term considerations. Not only in electricity production, also in other existing and new process chains, like syngas plants, polygeneration processes, biogas, iron and steel production, or cement industry CC­technologies can lead to ecological and procedural benefits. Within these concepts the gasification gives the chance of efficient utilisation of biomass including new perspectives of sustainable carbon cycles. For atmospheric operating processes chemical absorption­desorption cycles with alcanolamine­water solutions as solvents is a well developed technology for efficient CO2 separation from process gas streams. During project work BIOENERGY 2020+ designed and build up a mobile research plant to investigate the behaviour of well known and upgraded solvents under real gas conditions applied in various industrial process chains. Main focus of the tests is, next to energy demand and operation parameter, the degradation effect of the tested solvents under different gas conditions (CO2­content high/low; containing oxygen (O2) or not; trace contaminants). Until now test series with blast furnace gas were carried out with monoethanole­amine (MEA) and diethanole­amine (DEA) solutions.
