Повний текст джерелаAbsorção é um processo no qual os componentes de uma corrente gasosa são separados através do uso de um solvente líquido. O processo pode ser simplesmente físico ou seguido por uma reação química. Na indústria, um processo de absorção importante é a remoção de dióxido de carbono (CO2), usando uma solução aquosa de monoethanolamina (MEA), dos gases de combustão expelidos pelas plantas alimentadas por combustíveis fosseis tais como: as usinas de geração de energia, a indústria farmacêutica, a indústria de petróleo, etc. Os projetos desenvolvidos por grandes corporações usualmente são cercados de sigilo, e as companhias evitam a divulgação de suas soluções tecnológicas. Além disso, no Brasil pouco tem-se publicado a respeito. Neste trabalho, apresenta-se um modelo simples que simula a absorção de CO2 em solução aquosa de MEA. O modelo envolve as equações de conservação de massa, quantidade de movimento e energia, podendo predizer o comportamento geral do processo de absorção. Os resultados das simulações da absorção de CO2 em contracorrente com uma coluna de filme líquido foram comparados com dados experimentais disponíveis apresentando uma boa concordância.
Absorption is a process where the components of a gaseous stream are separated through the use of a liquid solvent. The process may be simply physical or be followed by a chemical reaction. In industry, one of the most important absorption processes is the removal of carbon dioxide (CO2), by using an aqueous solution of monoethanolamine (MEA), from flue gases exhausted by fossil-fuel-fired power plants, the pharmaceutical industry, the petroleum industry, etc. The projects developed by large companies usually are surrounded by secrecy and the companies avoid dissemination of their technological solutions. In addition, there is almost nothing published in Brazil about this subject. In this work, we present a simple model that simulates the absorption of CO2 by a MEA based aqueous solution. The model involves the equations for the conservation of mass, momentum, and energy, and may predict the general behavior of the absorption process. Results for the simulation of the absorption of CO2 in a countercurrent liquid film contactor were compared with available experimental data, presenting good agreement.

Повний текст джерелаSteel is produced today mainly in a blast furnace-oxygen converter process, leading to three main types of emissions: blast furnace gas (BFG), coke oven gas (COG), and converter gas (BOFG). In the framework of the VALORCO project, an analysis of the possibilities for reducing carbon emissions, combined with the valorization of emissions from the steel industry, was carried out. One of the routes studied is the production of compounds of industrial interest such as methanol, which can be produced by chemical transformation of the CO and / or CO2 contained in the emissions associated with hydrogen. The main objective of this thesis work is to evaluate the possibilities offered by the gas permeation process applied to the selective recovery of these compounds in the three types of emissions. Initially, a state of the art of the various projects dedicated to the capture (CCS) and the valorization (CCU) of the emissions in the steel industry is presented, with particular attention to the different gas separation technologies. Experimental measurements of selectivity and permeance for different temperature and pressure conditions, carried out on a dedicated bench with two commercially available membrane materials, one selective to hydrogen (glassy) and one to CO2 (rubbery), allowed a systematic parametric study by simulation of the separation performance of the process applied to the BFG, COG and BOFG. A comparison of the processes based on one or more permeation stages, including recirculation loops, was then undertaken in a Process System Engineering (PSE) environment (Aspen Plus software). The influence of the operating parameters (pressure ratio, temperature, stage cut) on the separation performance was evaluated, leading to a mapping of attainable compositions. The energy consumption and the membrane surface required for each configuration allow a techno-economic optimization of the process, on the basis of an economic model integrated to the simulation conditions

Повний текст джерелаBio-energy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) is a technology that can generate negative emissions. Hence it is recognized as a solution for becoming carbon neutral, which is essential for climate change mitigation. The main obstacle for its large scale implementation is the high energy requirements of the process. This thesis aims at quantifying the energy penalties for lean solvent flash and multi-pressure stripper layout modifications to improve the performance of carbon capture (CC) by means of absorption with a liquid solvent in a biomass-fired CHP plant. The work focuses on K2CO3 based solvents operated in a mixed temperature swing/pressure swing cycle witch is deemed advantageous for heat recovery. An equilibrium model was developed and validated to simulate a full-scale CC by chemical absorption in Aspen Plus using potassium carbonate as solvent. Both layout modifications result in energy penalties of 18-21 % for a CHP plant, while the energy penalty for the baseline process is 28 %. For a power plant, the penalties go from 32 % to 62 % for the lean solvent flash and the multi-pressure stripper respectively. This shows how improving the process can reduce the costs of CCS, especially if heat is considered a valuable product. CCS in CHP plants has a much lower energy impact than in power plants where heat is not recovered.

Повний текст джерелаENGLISH ABSTRACT: Carbon dioxide (CO2) is seen as one of the main contributors to global warming. The use of fossil fuels for power production leads to large quantities of carbon dioxide being released into the atmosphere. The released CO2 can, however, be captured by retrofitting capture units downstream from the power plant called Post Combustion Carbon Dioxide Capturing. Post combustion CO2 capture can involve the reactive absorption of CO2 from the power plant flue gas steam. Reactive solvents, such as monoethanolamine (MEA), are used for capturing the CO2 and the solvent is regenerated in a desorber unit where the addition of heat drives the reverse reaction, releasing the captured CO2. However, the large energy requirement for solvent regeneration reduces the viability of employing CO2 capture on an industrial scale. This study focused on establishing a facility for CO2 capture studies – the main aim being the construction and validation of the results produced by the pilot plant facility. A secondary aim of this study was developing an Aspen Plus® Simulation method that would simplify simulating the complex CO2 capture process. Results from the simulation were to be compared to that of the pilot plant experiments. A pilot plant facility with a closed gas system, allowing gas recycling from both the absorber and the stripping columns, was set up. The absorber column (internal diameter = 0.2 m) was set up to allow one to obtain information regarding gas- and liquid temperatures and compositions at various column heights. Online gas analysers are used for analysing the gas composition at various locations in the absorber column. The pilot plant was initially commissioned with 20 weight % MEA in aqueous solution; however the main validation experiments were conducted with 30 weight % MEA in aqueous solution. 30 weight % MEA (aq) is generally used as the reference solvent for pilot plant studies. Pilot plant results with regards to the carbon dioxide concentration profiles for the absorber column as well as the regeneration energy requirement and capture rates compared well to literature data. The Aspen Plus® simulation was also set up and validated using published pilot plant data. The comparison of the pilot plant results from this study, to the results from the Aspen Plus® Simulation, showed good agreement between the two. The Aspen Plus® Simulation could further be used to validate pilot plant data that has been gathered outside the range of reported CO2 capture efficiencies. The Aspen Plus®model was evaluated at liquid-to-gas ratios of 1.7 and regeneration energies matching the pilot plant results. It was found that the model under predicts the capture efficiency of CO2 with an average of 4.0%. The model was corrected for this error at liquid-to-gas ratios of 2 and the fit of the model to pilot plant results improved considerably (R2-value = 0.965). Pilot plant repeatability was investigated with both 20 weight %- and 30 weight % MEA in aqueous solution. Temperature- and gas concentration profiles from the absorber column showed good repeatability. The maximum deviation of the regeneration energy and the capture efficiency from the calculation means were ±0.72% and ±1.40% respectively. The aims of this study have been met by establishing, and validating the results of a pilot plant facility for carbon dioxide capture studies. It has been shown that the pilot plant produces repeatable results. Results from the Aspen Plus® Simulation were validated and also match results from the established pilot plant setup. The simulation may prove to provide valuable information regarding the optimal operating conditions for the pilot plant and may aid in performing a full parametric study on the CO2 capture process.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Koolstofdioksied (CO2) word geklassifiseer as een van die bekendste kweekhuisgasse wat ʼn groot bydra lewer tot aardverwarming. Die gebruik van fossielbrandstowwe om na die energiebehoeftes van die mens om te sien lei daartoe dat groot hoeveelhede koolstofdioksied, hoofsaaklik vanaf kragstasies, vrygestel word in die atmosfeer. Daar is verskeie maniere hoe die CO2 uit die uitlaatgas van kragstasies verwyder kan word – die vernaamste hiervan is bekend as die Na-verbranding opvangs metode. Die opvangs van CO2 na verbranding van fossielbrandstowwe vir kragproduksie kan vermag word deur van reaktiewe absorpsie tegnieke gebruik te maak. Mono-etanol-amien (MEA) kan vir hierdie doeleindes aangewend word deur dit, in ʼn absorpsiekolom, in kontak te bring met die CO2. Die gereageerde oplosmiddel word geregenereer deur die oplosmiddel te verhit in ʼn stropingskolom. ʼn Bykans suiwer CO2 stroom word vrygestel. Die implementering van hierdie opvangtegniek op industriële skaal lei egter tot groot energieverliese vir die kragstasies. Die hoofrede hiervoor is die hoeveelheid energie wat benodig word om die oplosmiddel te regenereer vir hergebruik. Die hoofdoel van hierdie studie was gemik op die oprigting en inwerkstelling van 'n navorsingsfasiliteit vir studies aangaande die na-verbranding opvangs van CO2. Dit het behels die ontwerp, konstruksie en stawing van gelewerde resultate met resultate in die literatuur. 'n Sekondêre doel van hierdie studie was die metode-ontwikkeling vir die opstel van 'n Aspen Plus® Model wat die simulasie van die CO2 opvangsproses met ʼn reaktiewe oplosmiddel, MEA, vereenvoudig. Gesimuleerde resultate is vergelyk met resultate uit die literatuur. Die toetsaanleg, met 'n geslote gas stelsel, maak voorsiening vir die hersirkulering van gas wat vir eksperimentele doeleindes gebruik word. Die absorpsie kolom (interne diameter van 0,2 m) is opgestel sodat informasie aangaande die gas- en vloeistof temperature, sowel as gas- en vloeistof komposisies vanaf verskillende kolomhoogtes, bekom kan word. ʼn Aanlyn CO2 analiseerder word gebruik om vir CO2 in die prosesgas te analiseer. Die toetsaanleg is aanvanklik in bedryf gestel met ʼn 20 massa % MEA in waterige oplossing; die hoof eksperimente is egter uitgevoer deur van 30 massa % MEA in waterige oplossing gebruik te maak. Die laasgenoemde oplosmiddel word algemeen gebruik in die CO2 opvangs verwante navorsingsveld. Die resultate van die toetsaanleg, vergelyk goed met resultate in die literatuur. Die gesimuleerde Aspen Plus® resultate is ook vergelyk met resultate in die literatuur en die gevolgtrekking is gemaak dat die simulasie gebruik kan word om redelike akkurate voorspellings van die werklike prosesresultate te gee. Die simulasie is verder ook gebruik om resultate, verkry vanaf die opgerigte toetsaanleg, te verifieer en ʼn goeie ooreenstemming tussen die gesimuleerde en die eksperimentele resultate is waargeneem. ʼn Verder gevolgtrekking aangaan die Aspen Plus® simulasie metode was dat dit in die toekoms ʼn groot doel kan dien in die optimeringsproses van toetsaanlegte waar navorsing aangaande die na-verbranding opvang van CO2 gedoen word. Die Aspen Plus® model is geëvalueer by ‘n vloeistof-tot-gas-verhouding van 1,7 en ooreenstemmende toetsaanleg resultate, aangaande die hoeveelheid energie wat ingesit is vir die regenerasie van die oplosmiddel. Die onakkuraathede in die model, met betrekking tot die voorspelling van die hoeveelheid CO2 wat vasgevang sal word, is hierdeur bepaal en die model is daarvoor aangepas. Resultate van die verbeterde model vergelyk baie goed met die toetsaanleg resultate – ʼn R2-waarde van 0.965. Die herhaalbaarheid van die toetsaanleg resultate is ondersoek en ʼn goeie herhaalbaarheid van die temperatuur- en CO2 konsentrasieprofiele is verkry. Die toetsaanleg dui ook goeie herhaalbaarheid met betrekking tot die effektiwiteit waarmee die CO2 uit ʼn gasstroom verwyder word (± 1,40%), sowel as die hoeveelheid energie wat benodig word vir regenerering van die oplosmiddel (± 0,72%). Die doelwitte van hierdie studie is bereik deur die oprigting en verifiëring van resultate gelewer deur 'n toetsaanleg vir studies aangaande die na-verbrandingsopvang van CO2. Die herhaalbaarheid van toetaanleg resultate is bewys. Resultate van die Aspen Plus® simulasie stem ooreen met resultate in die literatuur sowel as resultate van die toetsaanleg wat opgerig is in hierdie studie.

Повний текст джерелаThe use of microalgae and cyanobacteria for the production of biofuels and other substances of commercial interest has been widely advertised as an extremely promising sustainable technology, due to the high areal productivity, potential for fixation of CO2, possibility of using non-arable land and alternative sources of nutrients such as brackish water and agricultural and industrial effluents. The commercial production of cyanobacteria in open raceway ponds was studied through the combination of a mathematical model for the algal growth with technical, economical and sustainability evaluations. A macromodel was developed to simulate the ponds, and it was used to assess the impact of environmental variables, such as light and temperature, and to optimize the process conditions for operation and harvesting. A detailed economic analysis demonstrated the impact of capital, operation costs and energy consumption, also highlighting the importance of revenue from high value products to process viability, considering the current technology. The transformity, emergy sustainability and environmental loading indices obtained by emergy analysis are comparable to other second generation biofuels, but the high construction and operation costs and energy consumption by the harvesting and extraction steps still represent major challenges to sustainability. The sensitivity analysis and evaluation of both technology improvements and alternative business models enabled the prioritization of future research areas, based on economic and environmental impact.

Повний текст джерелаIt is well known that climate change due to global warming is one of the greatest crises facing the Earth. It is a huge challenge for mankind to reduce CO2 emissions, the major cause of global warming. Mitigation measures are not enough. Technologies to remove the CO2 from the atmosphere are considered necessary, so the temperature rise does not exceed 1.5°C as stated in the Paris Agreement. Direct air capture (DAC) is a new technology that can remove carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere. Currently, this method is expensive, up to 1000 USD per ton CO2 removed. This high cost is mostly due to the relatively low concentration of CO2 in the ambient air, leading to a large unit to capture the gas and therefore high capital investment. The technology is very energy-intensive, either electrical or thermal, and to make direct air capture more efficient the plant needs to be powered with energy that has no or very low CO2 emissions. The energy in Iceland is low cost and its production has a very low carbon footprint. This thesis aims to find out if the direct air capture method will be more feasible than a point source CO2 capture in Iceland due to good access to low-cost and clean energy. The learning curve for direct air capture was studied along with scenarios for its technological development. Two different direct air capture technologies were analyzed, one that is powered by a large amount of electricity and one powered mostly by thermal energy. Three different point source cases in Iceland were studied for comparison. For the best-case scenario, where the learning rate is high and technological improvements are significant, the levelized cost of direct air capture is lower than levelized cost of point source capture. The cost of energy affects the levelized cost of direct air capture today but with technical development, the energy needed is expected to go down, and therefore the effect of energy cost will be lower. However, it is still important, concerning contribution to reducing global warming, that the energy powering the direct air capture plant has a low carbon footprint, which can be assured in Iceland. On the contrary, if the learning rate of the direct air capture technology is low and no technical improvements occur in solvents or sorbents the direct air capture technology is and will be more expensive than point source capture considering both located in Iceland. The high learning rate and development in technology are dependent on the pressure to reach the goals of the Paris Agreement. It is therefore vital for direct air capture that the demand for carbon removal measures is enhanced due to pressure to reach the Paris Agreement goals. Furthermore, direct air capture has more potential to affect climate change than point source capture as direct air capture can be a carbon-negative technology if coupled with the permanent storage of CO2. The point source capture can only be a carbon-neutral technology if coupled with the permanent storage of CO2.

Повний текст джерелаLimiting carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions is a major global issue, particularly for the energy, chemical and metallurgical industries. To this end, CO2 capture technologies have been developed in recent decades. In this study, we focused on three types of CO2 capture technologies: chemical absorption by MEA, membrane separation and activated carbon adsorption. The CO2 considered is emitted by a coal-fired power station and then directly valorized within a manufacturing process on the same site. The objective of this study was to quantify the environmental benefits of installing a CO2 capture technology in comparison to the current configuration, without CO2 capture. Our approach combined process modeling and life cycle assessment. The methodology adopted was to model the complete system (the power plant, the manufacturing process and the various capture units) using a flowsheeting software (Aspen Plus), then to determine the environmental impacts by LCA. The results show that the MEA chemical adsorption process is strongly penalized by the use of the solvent, both regarding the energy consumption and the environmental impacts. The membrane process exhibits significant environmental impacts, despite a much lower energy consumption, due to the massive use of polymers (membrane materials). Finally, the activated carbon adsorption process has lower environmental impacts than the other two processes in the vast majority of impact categories

Повний текст джерелаLimiting global warming to 1.5°C will require negative carbon emissions. One way for generating negative carbon emissions is through bio-energy carbon capture and storage (BECCS). A direct implementation of BECCS is to capture CO2 from the flue gas originating from the combustion of biomass in a post-combustion capture configuration. Post-combustion BECCS has generated considerable resonance among power plant operators and paper manufactures. Stockholm Exergi, owned by Fortum and Stockholm Stad, aims at capturing up to 800 kt CO2 per year from their biomass-fired CHP plant in Värtaverket by 2024. The plan foresees to capture CO2 from the flue gas utilizing an absorption process and shipment of the captured CO2 to Norway for geological storage. The Master thesis project followed an experimental campaign run by Stockholm Exergi that aimed at experimental validation of an absorption process for carbon capture from flue gas originating from the combustion of biomass. A test unit was constructed, and test trials were run from Dec. 2019 to May 2020. The thesis focused on the role of the absorption solvent on the capture rate. Test trails with three different solvents were conducted, and the experimental results were analyzed using equilibrium models combined with Murphree efficiencies. The results show that an absorption solvent based on aqueous K2CO3 is compatible with the flue gas derived from biomass combustion, i.e., capture rates ranging from 5 to 13 % were measured. However, the investigated rate promoters (3 wt.% H3BO3 + 1 wt.% V2O5) did not show the expected effect with regards to capture rates and due to time constrain different wt.% of the promoter were not tested within the scope of this thesis. Therefore, no firm conclusion was given with regards to promoters. Based on the Murphree efficiency calculated from the experiment with keeping a constant liquid to gas flow ratio, a column height of 28-35 m is estimated to capture 90% of CO2 from the flue gas.

Повний текст джерелаENGLISH ABSTRACT: Carbon dioxide (CO2) is classified as the main greenhouse gas (GHG) contributing to global warming. Estimates by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) suggest that CO2 emissions must be reduced by between 50 to 85% by 2050 to avoid irreversible impacts. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) strategies can be applied to de-carbonize the emissions from fossil-fueled power plants. Compared to other CCS techniques, post-combustion capture (PCC) is most likely to be implemented effectively as a retrofit option to existing power plants. At present however CCS is not yet commercially viable. The main challenge with CCS is to reduce the inherent energy penalty of the CO2 separation stage on the host plant. Seventy-five to eighty percent of the total cost of CCS is associated with the separation stage. There are several technologies available for separating CO2 from power plant flue gas streams. Reactive absorption with aqueous amine solutions has the ability to treat low concentration, low pressure and large flux flue gas streams in industrial-scale applications. It is most likely to be the first technology employed commercially in the implementation of CCS. The energy required for solvent regeneration however, is high for the standard solvent used in reactive absorption processes, i.e. MEA. This leads to a reduction in thermal efficiency of the host plant of up to 15%. Alternative solvent formulations are being evaluated in an attempt to reduce the energy intensity of the regeneration process. The main objective of this study was to establish a novel, simplified thermodynamic method for solvent screening. Partial solubility parameters (PSPs) were identified as the potential basis for such a method. The major limitation of this approach is that the model doesn’t account for effects from chemical reaction(s) between materials, e.g. CO2 reacting with aqueous alkanolamine solutions; considering only the effects from dissolution. The EquiSolv software system was developed based on PSP theory. The Hansen 3-set PSP approach was used to describe the equilibrium behaviour of CO2 absorbing in task specific solvents. The Hansen theory was expanded to a 4-set approach to account for contributions from electrostatic interactions between materials. The EquiSolv program was used successfully to screen large sets of solvent data (up to 400 million formulations) in the search for suitable alternative solvent formulations for CO2 absorption. The secondary objective of this study was to evaluate the ability of the proposed PSP model to accurately predict suitable alternative solvents for CO2 absorption through preliminary experimental work. A series of CO2 absorption experiments were conducted to evaluate the absorption performance of predicted alternative solvent formulations. The predicted alternative solvent formulations exhibited a significant improvement in absorption performance (up to a 97% increase in the measured absorption capacity) compared to conventional solvent formulations. Statistical analysis of the experimental results has shown that there is a statistically significant concordant relationship between the predicted and measured rankings for the absorption performance of the predicted solvent formulations. Based on this it was concluded that PSP theory can be used to accurately predict the equilibrium behaviour of CO2 absorbing in task specific solvents. Recently ionic liquids (ILs) have been identified as potential alternatives to alkanolamine solutions conventionally used for CO2 absorption. Absorption experiments were conducted as a preliminary assessment of the absorption performance of ILs. Results have shown ILs to have significantly improved performance compared to conventional alkanolamine solvents; up to a 96% increase in the measured absorption capacity compared to conventional solvents. Future work should focus on developing task specific ionic liquids (TSILs) in an attempt to reduce the energy intensity of solvent regeneration in CO2 absorption processes.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Koolsuurgas (CO2) word geklassifiseer as die vernaamste kweekhuis gas (GHG) wat bydra to globale verwarming. Beramings deur die Interregeringspaneel oor Klimaatsverandering (IPKV) toon aan dat CO2 emissies teen 2050 verminder moet word met tussen 50 en 85% om onomkeerbare invloede te vermy. Verskeie koolstof opvangs en bergings (KOB) strategieë kan toegepas word ten einde die koolstof dioksied konsentrasie in die emissies van kragstasies wat fossielbrandstowwe gebruik, te verminder. Naverbranding opvangs (NVO) is die mees aangewese KOB tegniek wat effektief toegepas kan word op bestaande kragstasies. Tans is KOB egter nog nie kommersieël lewensvatbaarvatbaar nie. Die hoof uitdaging wat KOB in die gesig staar is om die energie boete inherent aan die CO2 skeidingstap te verminder. Tussen vyf-en-sewentig en tagtig persent van die totale koste van KOB is gekoppel aan die skeidingstap. Daar is verskeie metodes beskikbaar vir die skeiding van CO2 uit die uitlaatgasse van kragstasies. Reaktiewe absorpsie met waterige oplossings van amiene kan gebruik word om lae konsentrasie, lae druk en hoë vloei uitlaatgasstrome in industriële toepassings te behandel. Dit is hoogs waarskynlik die eerste tegnologie wat kommersieël aangewend sal word in die toepassing van KOB. Die oplosmiddel wat normalweg vir reaktiewe absorpsie gebruik word (d.w.s. MEA) benodig egter ‘n groot hoeveelheid energie vir regenerasie. Dit lei tot ‘n afname in die termiese doeltreffendheid van die voeder aanleg van tot 15%. Alternatiewe oplosmiddelstelsels word tans ondersoek in ‘n poging om the energie intensiteit van die regenerasieproses te verminder. Die hoof doelwit van hierdie studie was om ‘n nuwe, ongekompliseerde termodinamiese metode te vestig vir die keuring van alternatiewe oplosmiddels. Parsiële oplosbaarheidsparameters (POPs) is geïdentifiseer as ‘n moontlike grondslag vir so ‘n metode. Die model beskryf egter slegs die ontbindings gedrag van materiale. Die effekte van chemise reaksie(s) tussen materiale, bv. die tussen CO2 en waterige oplossings van alkanolamiene, word nie in ag geneem nie. Die POP teorie het gedien as grondslag vir die ontwerp van die EquiSolv sagteware stelsel. Die Hansen stel van drie POPs is gebruik om die ewewigsgedrag te beskryf van CO2 wat absorbeer in doelgerig-ontwerpte oplosmiddels. Die Hansen teorie is verder uitgebrei na ‘n stel van vier POPs om die bydrae van elektrostatiese wisselwerking tussen materiale in ag te neem. Die EquiSolv program is verskeie kere met groot sukses gebruik vir die sifting van groot stelle data (soveel as 400 miljoen formulasies) in die soektog na alternatiewe oplosmiddels vir CO2 absorpsie. Die sekondêre doelwit van die studie was om die vermoë van die voorgestelde POP model om geskikte alternatiewe oplosmiddels vir CO2 absorpsie akkuraat te voorspel, te ondersoek deur voorlopige eksperimentele werk. ‘n Reeks CO2 absorpsie eksperimente is gedoen ten einde die absorpsie werkverrigting van die voorspelde alternatiewe oplosmidels te ondersoek. ‘n Verbetering in absorpsie werkverrigting van tot 97% is gevind vir die voorspelde oplosmiddels vergeleke met die van oplosmiddels wat tipies in die industrie gebruik word. Statistiese ontleding van die eksperimentele resultate het getoon dat daar ‘n beduidende ooreenstemming tussen die voorspelde en gemete rangskikking van die voorspelde oplosmiddels se werkverrigting bestaan. Dus kan POP teorie gebruik word om die absorpsie van CO2 in doelgerig-ontwerpte oplosmiddels akkuraat te beskryf. Ioniese vloeistowwe (IVs) is onlangs geïdentifiseer as moontlike alternatiewe oplosmidels vir die alkanolamien oplossings wat normaalweg gebruik word vir CO2 absorpsie. Absorpsie eksperimente is gedoen ten einde ‘n voorlopige raming van die absorpsie werkverrigting van IVs te bekom. Daar is bevind dat IVs ‘n beduidende verbetering in werkverrigting toon in vergelyking met die alkanolamien oplosmiddels wat normaalweg gebruik word. ‘n Verbetering in absorpsie werkverrigting van tot 96% is gevind vir die voorspelde IV-bevattende oplosmiddels vergeleke met die van oplosmiddels wat tipies in die industrie gebruik word. Die fokus van toekomstige navorsing moet val op die ontwikkeling van doelgemaakte ioniese vloeistowwe (DGIVs) in ‘n poging om die energie intensiteit van oplosmiddel regenerasie in CO2 absorpsie prosesse te verminder.

Повний текст джерелаPost-combustion CO2 capture (PCC) is an important strategy in mitigating greenhouse effect. The reference process in PCC is the CO2 absorption into amine aqueous solutions, followed by the regeneration (or stripping) of the solvent. The robustness of packed columns makes it the standard technology for both absorption and stripping steps. However, the treatment of large quantities of flue gases requires itself equipment of a large size. Hollow fibre membrane contactors (HFMC) are considered as one of the most promising strategies for intensified CO2 absorption process, due to their significantly higher interfacial area than that of packed columns, allowing to reduce the equipment size. In addition, this would reduce the energy penalty of the process by reducing the required amount of stripping steam. However, despite the potential advantages of HFMC, very few investigations have studied implementing this technology for PCC within an industrial framework. To fill this lack, the performances of both absorption and stripping steps using HFMC under industrial conditions were estimated by modelling and simulation. To identify the optimal modelling strategy, transfer models with different levels of complexity were developed ranging from one-dimensional isothermal single-component to two-dimensional adiabatic multi-component. Simulation results of both absorption and stripping steps revealed that, compared to traditional packed columns, contactor volume reduction factors comprised between 4 and 10 might be achieved using HFMC. However, since the stripping operating conditions are very close to thermodynamic equilibrium, HFMC can hardly reduce the energy consumption of the process

Повний текст джерелаNowadays, fossil fuels are constantly burnt to fulfill the increasing human and industrial demand in energy, and as a consequence, large quantities of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2) are released in the atmosphere and contribute to global warming. It is therefore pressing to develop efficient post-combustion CO2 mitigation techniques that are also efficient and environment-friendly, and as such, Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technologies involving the Hydrate-Based Separation Process (HBSP) have attracted a lot of attention. HBSP consists in encapsulating small gas molecules (e.g. CO2, nitrogen (N2), methane (CH4)) within crystalline ice-like compounds known as clathrate hydrates or hydrates. Previous works have shown that promoters like tetra-n-butyl ammonium bromide (TBAB) considerably improves the guest-gas trapping mechanism in semi-clathrate hydrate (sc). Hence, while HBSP proves to be a suitable technique for selective CO2 capture and energy recovery, advancing the fundamental understanding of processes at play is still needed before large-scale practical applications can be routinely considered. This work aims to better comprehend CO2 separation and capture processes using sc-hydrate technology, while also exploring exchange processes in hydrates to open a perspective towards industrial applications.First, the guest distribution in the hydrate phases of CO2¬-based clathrate hydrates as a function of parameters (initial composition, p, T) is revisited and elucidated by ex-situ high-resolution Raman spectroscopy. Up to now, there is a gap in the literature regarding the discrimination of the contribution of the small and large cages in CO2-based hydrates, mainly due to the Fermi resonance effect. So far, only a single study has attempted to distinguish these contributions in CO2-clathrates, however with a questionable interpretation. One of the novelties of the present work is to revisit the vibrational properties of CO2-clathrates to identify distinct frequency shifts depending on the structural environment of CO2 molecules, thereby improving our knowledge of CO2 encapsulation mechanisms in hydrates. High-resolution Raman analysis and neutron diffraction analyses are additionally performed in CO2-based TBAB-semi-clathrates for characterization purposes.Second, the influence of two different formation protocols (quick and slow crystallization protocols, commonly used in hydrate formation) on the encapsulation mechanisms, the structure, and the selectivity of CO2+N2-TBAB compounds is investigated by in-situ Raman spectroscopy. A new dissociation point (pressure and temperature) is obtained and our results highlight that slow hydrates formation rates exert a variable performance on CO2 selectivity at temperatures far from the dissociation point, while a better performance is observed when approaching dissociation. Similarly, separation factors reach their greatest values close to the dissociation, depending however on the sc crystal structure formed. Surface morphology variation is monitored by optical microscopy and exhibits a continuous transformation with temperature, starting from a rough surface coated with polygonal or stacked shaped crystals to the formation of columnar TBAB-sc crystals near dissociation. Moreover, the influence of the formation kinetics on CO2 separation and selectivity is explored.Finally, a potential application of CO2 separation and capture by HBSP is addressed through the investigation of the exchange mechanism when exposing CO2 clathrate hydrates to N2 gas. Even though CO2 and N2 hydrates crystallize in structure sI and sII, respectively, it is a CO2-N2 mixed hydrate with a preferential occupation of the small cages by N2 molecules that forms upon N2 injection. The exchange kinetics is analyzed from the perspective of methane recovery from CO2 and CO2+N2 injections

Повний текст джерелаMineral trapping of co2 by carbonation is possibly a way to store co2 permanently. However, little is known aboutthe reaction kinetics and mechanisms of this process. Our work aimed at identifying the main parameters/dontrolling the weathering and carbonation rates of model silicates of (ultra)basic rocks. The influence of secondary phases on silicate weathering rates received detailed attention. Whereas the formation of thick and mesoporous coatings of amorphous silica onto the surface of wollastonite weakly affects wollastonite dissolution, forsterite dissolution is inhibited by a passivating silica layer. In this latter case, the reaction continues through solid-state diffusion, a process which is ~ 5 orders of magnitude slower than an interfacial dissolution mechanism. Another parameter which controls the weathering rate of silicates (r) is the distance from equilibrium (Δgr) at which it takes place. We showed that the law implemented into geochemical codes and which links r to Δgr overestimates diopside dissolution rate by one order of magnitude on a wide range of Δgr. This difference is responsible for a substantial error on the modeling of carbonation rate of diopside, which we calculated and corrected. A third factor which affects the weathering rate of minerals is due to the c02 itself: its effect (apart from that of ph) intrinsically promûtes lizardite dissolution kinetics, presumably because of the formation of surface complexes involving hco3" species. Finally, co2-h2o-fe-silicates interactions can lead to the reduction of co2, a flux which could compete with that of carbonation. Preliminary experiments of fayalite dissolution will help to resolve this question

Повний текст джерелаIn this work, we develop two major research routes related to molten carbonates. The first one is the molten carbonate fuel cell optimization, with two approaches: (i) cathode lifetime improvement through ultra-thin layers of metal oxides deposited by atomic layer deposition; (ii) Li-K and Li-Na electrolyte modification by Cs or Rb additions. The second one is dedicated to CO2 valorization through its electrochemical reduction in molten carbonate electrolytes, where we analyze CO2 reduction by means of chronopotentiometry and chronoamperometry. Finally, in order to test some of the component modifications described in the two first parts, we installed and adapted a single-cell setup coupled to gas chromatography. We obtained some significant results in all the approaches; concerning point (i), we found that TiO2 and CeO2 are suitable for cathode corrosion protection without affecting the electrochemical properties of the electrode and reducing almost by half the dissolution of Ni. The results obtained from point (ii) are also fruitful, since we established a method for comparing two different electrolytes and obtained the diffusion coefficients of the superoxides and carbon dioxide. We also compared the performance of the state-of-the-art NiO cathode in Cs and Rb modified electrolytes. From these studies, we found that Cs addition improves significantly the CO2 diffusion coefficient and reduces the charge transfer and total resistance at the electrode, being a promising additive. Regarding CO2 reduction, after all the tests performed, we found that the reaction involves adsorbed and instable species and occurs in two one-electron steps or in two-electron unique step; thus, it follows most probably a mechanism of simultaneous reduction of the adsorbed and dissolved species. Finally, we performed the first MCFC single-cell tests in our laboratory obtaining an acceptable cell performance and output power. However, small improvements are still necessary to be able to test MCFC modified components

Повний текст джерелаCO2 capture processes by chemical absorption lead to a large energy penalty on efficiency of coal-fired power plants, establishing one of the main bottleneck to its industrial deployment. The objective of this thesis is the development and validation of a global methodology, allowing the precise evaluation of the potential of a given amine capture process. Characteristic phenomena of chemical absorption have been thoroughly studied and represented with state-of-the-art models. The e-UNIQUAC model has been used to describe vapor-liquid and chemical equilibria of electrolyte solutions and the model parameters have been identified for four solvents. A rate-based formulation has been adopted for the representation of chemically enhanced heat and mass transfer in columns. The absorption and stripping models have been successfully validated against experimental data from an industrial and a laboratory pilot plants. The influence of the numerous phenomena has been investigated in order to highlight the most limiting ones. A methodology has been proposed to evaluate the total energy penalty resulting from the implementation of a capture process on an advanced supercritical coal-fired power plant, including thermal and electric consumptions. Then, the simulation and process evaluation environments have been coupled with a non-linear optimization algorithm in order to find optimal operating and design parameters with respect to energetic and economic performances

Повний текст джерелаThe use of trees under intensive management is particularly important for rapid fibre production and for reduce cutting pressure on natural forests in boreal regions. However, a debate on the best type of plantation management opposes the mono-and pluri-specific management. Despite the possible antagonistic effects on productivity, it seems that mixed plantations would have benefits on soil properties, environmental stability, but also to maintain biodiversity and aesthetic value. It is important to better understand the functioning of these ecosystems to make good management in order to optimize ecosystem services of these plantations. Litter decomposition and nutrient cycling are essential process for the ecosystems functioning. My thesis project was to better understand the influence of the mixing of two tree species planted in comparison to monospecific plantations, namely white spruce and hybrid poplar, on the litter decomposition process and carbon storage. The results of this study showed no improvement in the decomposition process with the mixture of poplar and spruce in plantation or by their litters mixture. However, the mixture of the two species in plantation buffers the contrasting effects of poplar and spruce observed in monospecific plantations. In addition, carbon storage and productivity of poplars are improved in mixed plantations compared to monospecific plantations. Herbaceous litter appears to be beneficial for the abundance of organisms and promote the release of nitrogen from tree litter. This could offset the negative effect of the presence of grasses that compete with trees for resources

Повний текст джерелаThe aim of this study is to do a technoeconomical analysis on CO2 liquefaction systems using Aspen Plus. Several liquefaction systems from previous studies were compared, and from these, two liquefaction systems were chosen for further studies and simulations. These liquefaction systems were namely an internal liquefaction system and an external liquefaction system by Øi et al., Energy Procedia 86 (2016) 500-510, called system A and Seo et al., International Journal of Greenhouse Gas Control 35 (2015) 1-12, called system B. These systems were simulated for technical analysis using Aspen Plus, and Aspen Economical Analyzer (AEA) was used for economical studies. A small-scale liquefaction system was studied with a mass flow rate of 45 tonne/h including the water content, as compared to other studies with higher mass flow rates of around 100 tonne/h. The electricity demand and cooling demand were studied in several cases of interstage cooling between compressors. Furthermore, two cases of district heating as well as two cases of heat pumps were studied with varying return temperatures of the district heating water. This was done to study how much heat could be recovered from the liquefaction process. Furthermore, the capital expenses as well as the operating expenses were also determined using AEA. From this, the annual CAPEX and the cost of CO2 was calculated in terms of €/tonne CO2. The results showed that district heating and heat pumps can be useful to recover heat from the liquefaction processes. The simulations that included a heat pump and assumed a return temperature of 47°C had a COP of 3.07 and 3.15 for system A and B respectively. The determined cost of production was 17.42 €/tonne for system A and 17.75 €/tonne for system B when not using a heat pump and a return temperature of 47°C in the district heating grid. However, when adding a heat pump the total production cost (TPC) increased to 20.85 €/tonne for system A, and 21.69 €/tonne for system B. It was also shown that the TPC is highly dominated by the operating expenses while the total capital investment has a smaller impact on the TPC. The capacity is also important for the TPC as lower capacities was shown to lead to significantly increased production costs. When taking the revenue streams from district heating into account the TPC was decreased, in particular for the systems including the heat pumps, where the TPC for system A was 10.26 €/tonne while for system B it was 10.98 €/tonne. In accordance with previous studies it was shown that the economical optimum is closely related to the energy optimum. It was concluded that as system A, the internal liquefaction system, had the lowest TPC and electricity input with and without the heat pump and thus it is the optimal configuration for small-scale CO2 liquefaction.

Повний текст джерелаThe 20 largest pulp mills in Sweden emit around 20 million tonnes of CO2 per year. These emissions are considered carbon-neutral since they originate from biogenic sources. The pulp and paper industry is therefore a good candidate for the application of BECCS (Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage) and has the potential to play a significant role for reaching the long-term mitigation target set by the Swedish government that Sweden should be climate-neutral by year 2045. In this thesis, a MEA-based chemical absorption and desorption process was rigorously modelled in Aspen Plus using the rate-based method. Validation of the absorber and stripper model was conducted before the standard process was modified to a configuration that enables heat integration of a significant amount of excess heat from the capture process in, for example, a Kraft pulp mill. CO2 removal rate and rich solvent loading were used as performance indicators to validate the absorber columns. The reboiler duty and lean solvent loading served as performance indicators in the stripper validation. The columns were dimensioned considering 90 wt% capture rate. Efficient use of the entire packing in the absorber and stripper columns was ensured by testing different solvent flow rates. Suitable temperature levels for heat integration, within and across the capture plant, were obtained through an assessment of different versions of a stripper overhead compression configuration. The evaluation of the modified MEA processes took into account the steam conservation potential and energy efficiency potential. The simulation results indicate that the modified stripper may lead to savings of up to 11% in steam consumption. Heat integration between the capture plant and a specific process in a reference Kraft pulp mill resulted in energy savings of the same order of magnitude. Thereby, making the BECCS concept a more attractive solution for the Swedish pulp and paper industry to mitigate climate change.

Повний текст джерелаToday, the utilisation of CO2 as raw material for the synthesis of high-value added products like cyclic carbonates, is one of the alternatives used for reducing greenhouse gases. This thesis aims to understand and design a CO2 valorisation process by modelling the thermodynamic and the mass transfer/reaction kinetics generated during the cyclic carbonates synthesis from CO2, epoxides and a heterocyclic compound as catalyst. By using this new catalytic system, cyclic carbonates, which are used in the polymeric, pharmaceutic or cosmetic industry, can be produced with good yields at low temperatures and pressures and without any solvent. Thermodynamic properties as solubility and Henry's law constant have been estimated for CO2/epoxide binary systems. Mass transfer occurring without and with reaction has been studied in order to determine respectively the liquid volumetric mass transfer coefficient and the reaction regime. A kinetic study has been performed to propose a model able to represent the reaction and to estimate the kinetic parameters. This information has been used in the design and the simulation of the production process of epichlorohydrin carbonate on Aspen Hysys

Повний текст джерелаCO2 injection in a reservoir leads to physicochemical processes which can have harmful consequences on the reservoir integrity due to porosity and permeability alteration. In this work, we propose to test the possibility that stable chlorine isotopes could be used as a geochemical tool to assess these effects. Indeed, chloride is a conservative and a major component of reservoir brines, and it is already known that several processes can modify the ratio of its two stable isotopes δ37Cl (diffusion, ionic filtration, salt precipitation or phase change). To test this possibility, several types of experiments were performed to investigate the effects generated by a CO2 injection on Cl-isotopes. Autoclave experiments have shown that Cl can be solubilized in CO2SC, but the amounts would be too low to modify the isotopic signal of brines in case of any fractionation process. Reactive brine migration experiments by advection (ICARE1 percolation apparatus in Montpellier University) and diffusion (diffusion cell developed at IFPEN) were also conducted. No δ37Cl was observed during percolation (conservative advective transport) and the effects of diffusion remain to be investigated with regard to the evolution of rock porosity and permeability. Drying and salt precipitation experiments on porous media have shown that Cl concentrations and δ37Cl values can give information about transport processes during water evaporation. These experimental results allowed us to identify the processes capable of modifying the δ37Cl signal, and that Cl-isotopes can be of use for the monitoring of CO2 storage site

Повний текст джерелаCarbon storage is one of the most encouraging methods to decrease CO₂ concentration into the atmosphere. Carbon storage provides the longevity and the capacity needed to decrease CO₂ emissions toward the atmosphere. When dealing with storage on an industrial scale, carbonated reservoirs can be among the most suitable storage sites. However, these high depth injections are subject to leakage risks from the geologic trap itself or from the framework created by the establishment of the site. Two main types of leakage exist: brutal and diffusive leakage. In both cases, they are likely to endanger the environment and the population. Therefore, it is essential to develop tools that are able to anticipate any types of CO₂ leakage. Furthermore, it is also necessary to understand the reactive transport mechanism that take place when the leakage arrives in the shallow subsurface (vadose zone)and to see how the leakage can be buffered. This work deals with the characterization, the quantification and the modelling of transfer processes and CO₂-H₂O-CaCO₃ interactions into the vadose zone in a context of a leakage from a drilling well. This issue was first dealt through field experiment on the site of Saint Emilion. Then, the CO₂-H₂O-CaCO₃ interactions were studied through an experimental approach in laboratory. Two leakage experiments were performed on the site: a diffusive leakage and an ultra-diffusive leakage. They were performed as a sequel of former experiments carried on the pilot site. A comparison of all the leakage experiments revealed the necessity to use noble gases as precursor of the CO₂ arrival at the surface. Depending of the type of the leakage, helium can be a temporal precursor while krypton can anticipate the spread of the CO₂ gas plume. The higher the injection pressure, the more the gas migrates through advective flux. Moreover, a high injection pressure favors the existence of preferential paths in the vadose zone. The use of helium and carbon isotopes makes it possible to reveal the presence of a local aqueous phase within the porous media and to identify the origin of CO₂. The core scale experiments lead to the estimation of the buffering power of Oligocene limestone according to the rock facies. The permeability and the porosity influence the dissolution of the limestone. The reactivity of carbonates during a leakage depends on the pH of the aqueous phase, the flow rate that goes through the porous media, the water saturation and petrophysical characteristics of the carbonates

Повний текст джерелаSolvay process generates huge amounts of waste brines at alkaline pH containing portlandite, brucite and calcium silicate hydrates. Carbonation leads to lowering of pH which favors formation of two predominant phases: calcite and gypsum. The aim of this thesis is to develop carbonated waste brines valorization by phase separation in flotation column Study of carbonation in a batch reactor and in a carbonation pilot column shows it is preferable not to carbonate waste brines until thermodynamic equilibrium. Indeed dissolution of heavy metals occurs from a pH of about 7.5 thereby limiting discharge of brines in the environment. In addition, a sudden and incomplete carbonation is appropriate for phase separation by flotation. Flotation tests carried out in a 7.6 cm diameter and 3 m high column showed feasibility of the separation of the two calcium minerals using sodium oleate as a collector despite abundant literature for caution. The differences between the particle size of carbonates and sulfates and their surface hydration, as well as the high ionic strength of the medium allow an efficient separation of phases. Study of synthetic brines highlights the role of metal cations (nature, radius, charge…) on bubble coalescence in dynamic conditions in an environment with high ionic strength. Study of operation parameter performed on a 30.5 cm diameter and 10 m high column enabled the modeling of the column flotation process in order to provide a scale-up procedure of industrial process. Comparison of simulation results with actual results allows the determination of intensities of flotation subprocesses (attachment/detachment), and led to the proposal of an industrial plant with two flotation columns in series

Повний текст джерелаSince the mid-90s, in situ mineralization of CO2 has been considered as a safe and efficient solution to mitigate its anthropogenic emissions to the atmosphere. It is to recover the CO2 emitted by some industries and trap it in the mineral form (carbonates) in mafic and ultramafic aquifers (e.g. basalts and peridotites). The carbonation of CO2 has been widely described in natural systems where it occurs through a series of complex chemical reactions coupled to the transport of reactive species in the fluid. Numerous experiments have been conducted in batch reactors over the past fifteen years to better understand the physico-chemical parameters controlling the carbonation of (ultra-)mafic rocks. But few studies have further characterized the coupling reactive-transport processes during the injection and in situ mineralization of CO2 in these rocks.This work aims to meet 3 main objectives: (i) characterize changes in reaction paths during the injection of CO2 in (ultra-)mafic systems, (ii) measure the feedbacks effects of chemical reactions on the hydrodynamic rock properties and (iii) quantify the efficiency and sustainability of such processes over long time periods. It is based on the development of experimental protocols to (i) reproduce the injection of CO2 into (ultra-)mafic rocks and (ii) characterize the reactions using a series of geochemical and analytical tools from the atomic to the centimetric scale. Three series of reactive percolation experiments have been performed on (ultra-)mafic aggregates from relatively simple (olivines from San Carlos and Hawaii) to more complex samples (basalts from Stapafell) under in situ P-T-containment conditions (Ptot=10-25 MPa; T=180-185°C; Pcont=15-28 MPa).The results allowed us to differentiate several reactions paths in these systems depending on the fluid transport, rock porosity, local hydrodynamic properties, mineralogy and/or local changes in the fluid composition. Mass balance calculations have revealed an efficient mineralization of CO2 in the samples. It is controlled by the chemical and the hydrodynamic properties of the rock at the pore scale. But some reactions associated with the alteration of (ultra-)mafic rocks (e.g. hydration) have negative feedbacks effects on the reservoir rock properties (porosity and permeability) that may compromise the sustainability of CO2 storage in natural aquifers in the long term.These new supporting data will allow numerical models to better simulate the carbonation of (ultra-)mafic rocks knowing the hydrodynamic properties and the structural heterogeneities of the reservoir. They also suggest that a better control of some injection parameters, such as the flow injection rate and the injected fluid composition (e.g. pCO2), would improve the rate and yield of CO2 mineralization in these systems

Повний текст джерелаRisk analysis of CO2 geological storage involves the simulation of the dynamics of the storage process and the evaluation of the probability of the possible leakage events. The approach followed here focuses on Gaussian Process response surface modelling in order to reduce the number of calls to the expensive reservoir simulator. Three major problems related to uncertainty analysis of CO2 storage are addressed: 1. Injection well placement 2. Reliability estimation 3. Reliability sensitivity analysis To tackle the first problem we provide a response surface method to handle discrete parameters (well positions) and discrete functional outputs to treat responses varying trough time (reservoir pressure evolutions). In addition, we introduce a new method for modelling functional outputs based on curves characterization and involving shape invariant model. To address the reliability problem, we introduce a subset simulation algorithm linked with the Gaussian Process model. It involves adaptive experimental design refinement and the model updating. To solve the last problem we suggest a new method for reliability sensitivity analysis. It is based on a perturbation of a probability distribution of input variables in order to evaluate which one contributes the most in the variability of the failure probability. All the proposed methods have been numerically tested on analytical and CO2 storage examples
