Abstract:
Carbon capture and utilization or sequestration (CCUS) from industrial point sources and direct air capture (DAC) are both necessary to curb the rising atmospheric levels of CO2. Amine scrubbers, the current leading carbon capture technology, suf-fer from poor oxidative and thermal stability, limiting their long-term cycling stability under oxygen-rich streams such as air and the emissions from natural gas combined cycle (NGCC) power plants. Herein, we demonstrate that the hydroxide-based cyclodextrin metal-organic framework (CD-MOF) Rb2CO3 CD-MOF ST possesses high CO2 capacities from dry dilute streams at low temperatures and humid streams at elevated temperatures. Additionally, it displays good thermal, oxidative, and cycling stabilities and selective CO2 capture under mixed gas conditions in dynamic breakthrough experiments. Unex-pectedly, under dry, hot conditions, a shift in the CO2 adsorption mechanism—from reversibly formed bicarbonate to irre-versibly formed carbonate—is observed, as supported by gas sorption and spectroscopic studies. This mechanistic switch, akin to urea formation in amine-functionalized sorbents, has not been previously reported in a hydroxide-based material and sheds new light on the interplay between bicarbonate and carbonate species during CO2 capture. Our findings provide valuable insight for the design of next-generation materials containing oxygen-based nucleophiles for carbon capture appli-cations.Keywords:

Flue gas treatment technology for NOχ control is required to treat the flue gases from complicated and wide varieties of fuels and combustion systems. The properties of flue gases influence on NOχ control in various ways.In this paper, these influences on NOχ control are classified discussed and several countermeasures against these influences are presented.

Abstract The speciation of Hg in coal-fired flue gas can be important in determining the ultimate Hg emissions as well as potential control options for the utility. The effects of NOx control processes, such as selective catalytic reduction (SCR) and selective non-catalytic reduction (SNCR), on Hg speciation are not well understood but may impact emissions of Hg. EPRI has investigated the reactions of Hg in flue gas at conditions expected for some NOx control processes. This paper describes the methodology used to investigate these reactions in actual flue gas at several power plants. Results have indicated that some commercial SCR catalysts are capable of oxidizing elemental Hg in flue gas obtained from the inlets of SCR or air heater units. Results are affected by various flue gas and operating parameters. The effect of flue gas composition, including the presence of NH3, has been evaluated. The influence of NH3 on fly ash Hg reactions also is being investigated.

In the present work, a simultaneous SO2 and CO2 capture method was proposed for coal-fired flue gas based on the desublimation phenomena of SO2 and CO2 under cryogenic conditions. The fundamentals of the method were introduced, and a separation and poly-generation scheme was presented, which can capture nearly 100% SO2 and > 95% CO2 of the flue gas, and can produce clean and concentrated nitrogen (>95 v% N2), natural gas, H2SO4, and high purity CO2 (>99.9 mol%). The scheme does not introduce any separation agent in the flue gas and uses only the cold energy of LNG for the separation. The operational cost is also investigated and compared with that of other carbon capture methods. The results indicate that the present method has lower energy consumption, and its advantage is more profound considering the offered economic products.

Abstract When the wet flue gas of a gas power plant is discharged, a white wet plume of flue gas will be produced, causing environmental and visual pollution. Local governments require the treatment of white wet Plume of flue gas. This paper establishes a model of the process of flue gas emission to produce white wet plume of flue gas, and the numerical method is used to solve it. The effects of factors such as flue gas emission temperature and flue gas moisture content on the generation of white wet plume of flue gas are studied respectively. The results show that the numerical simulation method has a good simulation effect for studying the generation conditions and factors of the white wet Plume of flue gas. It is possible to obtain the limit emission temperature and the emission moisture content of the flue gas emission without producing white wet Plume of flue gas. It is possible to study the generation of white wet plume of flue gas under the conditions of different flue gas emission temperature and emission moisture content, and provide reference and guidance for the engineering practice of power plant flue gas reduction or elimination of white wet plume of flue gas.
