摘要：

This paper presents the results of ASPEN simulations of a carbon-dioxide (CO(2)) removal and recovery plant that captures CO(2) from a 500 MWe (net) conventional coal-fired power plant flue gas stream. At a constant CO(2) recovery rate of 86.5% by weight, the performance of aqueous ammonia solution as an alternative to various aqueous amino solvents (MEA, AMP and MDEA) is compared in terms of the process scenarios, solvent loadings and overall energy consumption. The overall mass transfer co-efficient and CO(2) loading data generated for aqueous ammonia solutions using a laboratory scale wetted wall gas-liquid contactor are also presented. The ASPEN simulation results in conjunction with the laboratory data show, that capturing CO(2) from coal-fired power plant flue gas, using aqueous ammonia solvent, will require ammonia concentration no more than 5% by weight and absorber temperature 10 degrees C or lower, if the vapor phase ammonia losses are to be contained and the precipitation of ammonium bi-carbonate in the absorber is to be avoided. Under such an operating scenario, the aqueous ammonia based CO(2) capture process has overall energy requirement comparable to the conventional 30% by weight aqueous MEA based process. The ASPEN results further show that 30% by weight AMP based process has the lowest overall energy requirement among the solvents considered in this paper. (c) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
