Chemical Engineering Journal, 2009

The sum of these features results in a competitively low cost CO 2 capture system. There are different options to design the carbonation loop. In this work, a basic configuration that makes use of two interconnected circulating fluidized beds (carbonator and calciner) has been studied. Among the key variables that influence the performance of these systems, the carbonation conversion of the sorbent and the heat requirement at calciner are the most relevant. Both variables are mainly influenced by CaO/CO 2 ratio and make-up flow (purge) of solids. A purge is necessary in order to reduce the sorbent deactivation and to compensate the formation of CaSO 4 from the SO x content in the flue gas. Large CaO/CO 2 ratios improve the carbonation conversion but also increase the cost of the system due to a more intensive solid circulation. High make-up flow also improves the carbonation conversion and hence the CO 2 capture, but increases the heat demand at calciner and the fresh sorbent cost. The aim of this paper is to calculate the optimum make-up flow and CaO/CO 2 ratio in order to minimize the capture cost of the system. Independent variables are make-up flow of fresh CaCO 3 and CaO/CO 2 ratio. The constraint equations are experimental data on carbonation reaction, mass and energy balances, oxygen requirement and fuel composition.

Many CO 2 reduction options have been proposed in literature for both sectors. They are mainly focused on CO 2 capture in power plants, but, in the short-term, industrial processes are going to play an important role in achieving this objective.

Among proposed configurations, outstanding schemes make use of a number of interconnected fluidized beds and may operate at bubbling or circulating regime. Fluidized bed behaviour is well-known since they are included in many industrial applications, such as power plants and chemical industries. However, there is a lack of knowledge about their operation when more than one fluidized bed are coupled in the same system. One promising configuration for Ca-based sorption looping systems relies on the use of two circulating beds as carbonator and calciner and two bubbling beds acting as loop-seal valves. Many theoretical and lab experimental studies point out the need of large solid circulation in the system to reach high carbonation efficiencies. The control of this flow in complex CFB looping systems, where also internal recirculation exists in the risers, becomes a difficult task and deserves further studies to characterize them. The challenge to solve, through experimental tests and mathematical modelling, is finding a comprehensive control method to operate two circulating beds in turbulent regime and two bubbling sealing devices. Experimental results supporting high carbonation efficiency or feasibility in scaling-up solid circulation rates and inventories are needed to make the system more reliable. A lab-scale cold flow facility has been designed based on Glicksman's scaling rules and constructed in order to conduct experimental tests. The mechanical design of the facility and the choice of solid material, fluidizing gas and operating conditions should be such as to ensure the circulation of solids between reactors and the presence of solids inventory in the carbonator which are necessary to achieve high capture efficiencies. Operation of the system has been tested for a long number of hours under very different conditions. Measurements of circulation rate, static pressure, voidage profiles and standpipe height of solids have been used to identify trends in the hydrodynamic behaviour of the whole system while varying gas velocities in the risers, loop-seals, inventories in the reactors or size distribution of the particles. The circulation rates attained in the cold flow plant are comparable, after scaling-up, to solid flows in the loop which lead to high enough carbonation efficiencies of the system.
