Abstract

A reaction-based process has been developed for the selective removal of carbon dioxide from a multicomponent gas mixture. The proposed process effects the separation of CO2 from a mixture of gases by its reaction with metal oxides. The Calcium based Reaction Separation for CO2 process consists of contacting a CO2 laden gas with calcium oxide in a reactor such that CaO captures the CO2 by the formation of calcium carbonate. Once “spent”, CaCO3 is regenerated by its calcination leading to the formation of fresh CaO sorbent. The “regenerated” CaO is then recycled for the further capture of more CO2. This process also identifies the application of a mesoporous CaCO3 structure, that attains >90% conversion over multiple carbonation and calcination cycles. Lastly, thermal regeneration (calcination) under vacuum provided a better sorbent structure that maintained reproducible reactivity levels over multiple cycles.

  1. 1. A method for separating carbon dioxide from a flow of gas comprising carbon dioxide, said method comprising the steps of: directing said flow of gas to a gas-solid contact reactor, said gas-solid contact reactor containing at least one mesoporous sorbent, said at least one mesoporous sorbent comprising at least one metal oxide; reacting said carbon dioxide with said at least one sorbent so as to remove said carbon dioxide from said flow of gas at a temperature of about 600° C. to about 700° C., thereby converting said at least one mesoporous sorbent into spent sorbent; calcining said spent sorbent so as to liberate said carbon dioxide from said spent sorbent, thereby regenerating said mesoporous sorbent; and repeating the aforementioned steps.
  2. 10. A method for separating carbon dioxide from a flow of gas comprising carbon dioxide, said method comprising the steps of: directing said flow of gas to a first gas-solid contact reactor, said first gas-solid contact reactor containing at least one sorbent, said sorbent comprising calcined modified mesorporous preciritated calcium carbonate; reacting said carbon dioxide in said flow of gas on said sorbent in said first gas-solid contact reactor so as to remove said carbon dioxide from said flow of gas at a temperature of about 600° C. to about 700° C.; directing said flow of gas to a second gas-solid contact reactor when said sorbent in said first gas-solid contact reactor is spent thereby forming spent sorbent, said second gas-solid contact reactor containing at least one sorbent, said sorbent comprising calcined modified mesoporous preciritated calcium carbonate; reacting said carbon dioxide in said flow of gas on said sorbent in said second gas-solid contact reactor so as to remove said carbon dioxide from said flow of gas at a temperature of about 600° C. to about 700° C.; calcining said spent sorbent from said first gas-solid contact reactor so as to generate carbon dioxide and to regenerate said sorbent; directing said flow of gas to said first gas-solid contact reactor when said sorbent in said second gas-solid contact reactor is spent, thereby forming spent sorbent; and calcining said spent sorbent from said second gas-solid contact reactor so as to generate carbon dioxide and to regenerate said sorbent.
  3. 20. A method of separating carbon dioxide from a flow of gas comprising carbon dioxide, said method comprising the steps of: calcining a modified Precipitated Calcium carbonate so as to produce a mesoporous sorbent; directing said flow of gas into contact with said sorbent, said sorbent at a temperature of about 600° C. to about 700° C.; reacting said carbon dioxide with said sorbent so as to remove said carbon dioxide from said flow of gas, thereby converting said sorbent into a spent sorbent; calcining said sorbent so as to liberate said carbon dioxide from said spent sorbent, thereby regenerating said sorbent; and repeating the aforementioned steps.
