Description:
Numerous chemical absorbents and solid adsorbents are being developed for improved performance and reduced costs to capture CO2 from power plant flue gases or industrial plant effluents. Rigorous process simulation and development of all separation processes, absorption and adsorption included, starts with accurate correlation and reliable prediction of thermodynamic properties for multicomponent mixtures. This presentation reviews fundamental chemical thermodynamics and recent advances in applied thermodynamics as applied to CO2 capture process development. Recommended thermodynamic frameworks for CO2 capture with aqueous potassium carbonate solutions and CO2 capture with solid adsorbent zeolite 13X are presented and discussed.
