Patent

CA 2479886

The invention relates to a method for separating CO2 from combustion gases, which can be used in large emissions sources (such as thermal power plants that use any type of carbonaceous fuel). The said method consists in bringing the combustion gases into contact with a calcareous sorbent (calcined limestone or dolomite) at 650-750°C, thereby producing a CO2 capture reaction by means of the rapid carbonation of the sorbent. The sorbent is regenerated in another reactor (calciner) producing a concentrated stream of CO2. This inventive method consists in arranging the combustion chamber in such a way as that the large heat demand in the calciner can be supplied from the said combustion chamber by a solid heat carrier circulating between the combustion chamber and the calciner or through metallic walls separating the combustion chamber and the calciner. To facilitate this heat transfer at the very high temperatures of the calciner, the calciner can be operated at low partial pressures of CO2. These low partial pressures can be achieved by feeding steam to the calciner or by applying a certain vacuum to the calciner.

L'invention concerne un procédé servant à séparer le CO¿2? de gaz de combustion et destiné à être appliqué à des points à grande émission (centrales thermiques d'un quelconque combustible charbonneux). Le courant de CO¿2? séparé est susceptible d'être utilisé et/ou confiné dans des formations géologiques. Le procédé selon l'invention est destiné à réduire les coûts élevés de séparation de CO¿2?, qui empêchent l'utilisation à grande échelle de ces solutions de confinement de CO¿2?, recueillies dans les rapports de l'IPCC de l'ONU. L'invention consiste à mettre en contact les gaz de combustion avec un sorbant calcareux (calcaire, dolomite calcinés) à 650-750 ·C, ce qui entraîne la réaction de capture du CO¿2? au moyen de la carbonatation rapide du sorbant. La régénération du sorbant est réalisée dans un autre réacteur (calcinateur), lequel travaille dans des atmosphères de CO¿2? ou CO¿2?/H¿2?O et à pression égale ou inférieure à la pression atmosphérique.?¿
