Capture of CO2 from high humidity flue gas by vacuum swing adsorption with zeolite 13X

Capture of CO₂ from flue gas streams using adsorption processes must deal with the prospect of high humidity streams containing bulk CO₂ as well as other impurities such as SO _x , NO _x , etc. Most studies to date have ignored this aspect of CO₂ capture. In this study, we have experimentally examined the capture of CO₂ from a 12% synthetic flue gas stream at a relative humidity of 95% at 30 °C. A 13X adsorbent was used and the migration of the water and its subsequent impact on capture performance was evaluated. Binary breakthrough of CO₂/water vapor was performed and indicated a significant effect of water on CO₂ adsorption capacity, as expected. Cyclic experiments indicate that the water zone migrates a quarter of the way into the column and stabilizes its position so that CO₂ capture is still possible although decreased. The formation of a water zone creates a “cold spot” which has implications for the system performance. The recovery of CO₂ dropped from 78.5% to 60% when moving from dry to wet flue gas while the productivity dropped by 22%. Although the concentration of water leaving the bed under vacuum was 27%(vol), the low vacuum pressure prevented condensation of water in this stream. However, the vacuum pump acted as a condenser and separator to remove bulk water. An important consequence of the presence of a water zone was to elevate the vacuum level thereby reducing CO₂ working capacity. Thus although there is a detrimental effect of water on CO₂ capture, long term recovery of CO₂ is still possible in a single VSA process. Pre-drying of the flue gas steam is not required. However, careful consideration of the impact of water and accommodation thereof must be made particularly when the feed stream temperature increases resulting in higher feed water concentration.     

Growth characteristics of microalgae in high-concentration co2 gas,effects of culture medium trace components,and impurities thereon

In order to reduce release of CO₂ contained in the flue gas from a power plant, we assumed a system in which the flue gas was directly blown into a pond and CO₂ was fixed on microalgae. We have experimentally examined the basic growth characteristics, such as trace components of culture medium, effects of impurities from exhaust gas, and light utilization rate of algal productivity, mainly forNonnochloropsis sp. NANNP-2 from SERI collection. Although Ni and V contained in heavy oil burnt ashes dissolve into culture solution, their concentrations are low, and they have no particular adverse effect on growth as impurities. Culture medium trace component (i.e., heavy metals and vitamins) are essential for the NANNP-2. However, for the PHAEO-2(Phaeodactylum sp.), the growth rate hardly changes, even if vitamins and heavy metals other than Fe are eliminated.     

Adsorption separation of carbon dioxide, methane and nitrogen on monoethanol amine modified B-zeolite

A new type of composite adsorbents was synthesized by incorporating monoethanol amine (MEA) into β-zeolite. The parent and MEA-functionalized β-zeolites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), N₂ adsorption, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The adsorption behavior of carbon dioxide (CO₂), methane (CH₄), and nitrogen (N₂) on these adsorbents was investigated at 303 K. The results show that the structure of zeolite was well preserved after MEA modification. In comparison with CH₄ and N₂, CO₂ was preferentially adsorbed on the adsorbents investigated. The introduction of MEA significantly improved the selectivity of both CO₂/CH₄ and CO₂/N₂, the optimal selectivity of CO₂/CH₄ can reach 7.70 on 40 wt% of MEA-functionalized β-zeolite (MEA(40)-β) at 1 atm. It is worth noticing that a very high selectivity of CO₂/N₂ of 25.67 was obtained on MEA(40)-β. Steric effect and chemical adsorbate-adsorbent interaction were responsible for such high adsorption selectivity of CO₂. The present MEA-functionalized β-zeolite adsorbents may be a good candidate for applications in flue gas separation, as well as natural gas and landfill gas purifications.     

Electronic structure of X2 Y3 molecules (X = B, Al, Ga; Y = O,S): A theoretical study

Ab initio molecular orbital and density functional theory calculations on X₂Y₃ (X = B, Al,Ga; Y = O,S) indicate a bent structure withC _2v symmetry to be the preferred arrangement for B₂ O₃, B₂ S₃ and Al₂S₃. In contrast, the linear isomer is favoured for Al₂ O₃ and Ga₂ O₃. These are in agreement with the experimentally observed structures. The electronegativity difference between X and Y, the MO patterns and the ionic nature of the bonding explain variations in the molecular structure. The results from the two theoretical approaches (MP2/6-31G* and Becke3LYP/6-311 +G* level) are comparable.     

Heteroatom Effects on Singlet–Triplet Energy Gaps of Divalent Five-Membered Ring X2C2H2C (X = N,P, As,and Sb)

Thermal energy gaps, ΔE_s–t; enthalpy gaps, ΔH_s–t; and Gibbs free energy gaps, ΔG_s–t between the singlet (s) and triplet (t) states of X₂C₂H₂C, 1_X (X = CH, N, P, As, and Sb) were calculated and compared with those analogues, XC₂H₃C, 1′_X (X = N, P, As, and Sb) at the B3LYP/6-311++G** level of theory. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations indicated that the ΔG_s-t, for 1_X (X = N and P) should be lower with respect to their monosubstituted 1′_X . In contrast, the ΔG_s-t for 1_X (X = As and Sb) should be larger with respect to 1′_X . The ΔG_s-t for 1_X and 1′_X were increased in the following order: 1_Sb > 1_As > 1_C > 1_P > 1_N ; 1′_Sb > 1′_As > 1′_P > 1_C > 1′_N , respectively.

Study of NOx and CO2 production of cultivated soil in closed microcosm experimental system

The aim of present project was to develop a microcosm experimental method for estimation of NO_x and CO₂ emission of microbial origin from cultivated soil. The effect of different factors (such as temperature, water supply, mineral-N source and organic matter addition, role of soil organisms and heavy metal contamination) that controlling the accumulation of N₂O and CO₂ in soil atmosphere and release to air was studied in closed microcosm laboratory model experiments. The headspace gas composition of closed glass vessels of 800-1200 cm³ containing 100-200 g brown forest soil sample was analysed. The N₂O and CO₂ concentration of gas samples was analysed by gas chromatographic methods and NO-content by means of chemiluminescent detection. Concerning the results, it can be stated that the applied microcosm experimental model proved to be a suitable tool for detecting the effect of factors influencing the NO_x and CO₂ release from agricultural soil. The temporal changes of N₂O and CO₂ concentration demonstrated the impact of the coupled microbial processes resulting in these greenhouse gases. The gas production depended on the soil moisture level, temperature and C/N ratio significantly. The inhibitory effect of toxic heavy metals (e.g. Cd) could also be affected by the C/N ratio. The appearance of NO as an intermediate of microbial processes was observed as well.     

New (p, ρ, T) data for carbon dioxide – Nitrogen mixtures from (250 to 400) K at pressures up to 20 MPa

Comprehensive (p, ρ, T) measurements on two binary mixtures (0.10 CO₂ + 0.90 N₂ and 0.15 CO₂ + 0.85 N₂) were carried out in the gas phase at seven isotherms between (250 and 400) K and pressures up to 20 MPa using a single sinker densimeter with magnetic suspension coupling. A total of 69 (p, ρ, T) data for the first mixture and 69 (p, ρ, T) data for the second are presented in this article. The uncertainty in density was estimated to be (0.02 to 0.15)%, while the uncertainty in temperature was 3.9 mK and the uncertainty in pressure was less than 0.015% (coverage factor k = 2). Experimental results were compared with densities calculated from the GERG equation of state and with data reported by other authors for similar mixtures. Results yielded that, while deviations between experimental data and values calculated from the GERG equation were lower than 0.05% in density for low pressures, the relative error at high pressures and low temperatures increased to about (0.2 to 0.3)%. The main aim of this work was to contribute to an accurate density data base for CO₂/N₂ mixtures and to check or improve equations of state existing for these binary mixtures.     

Insights on Cryogenic Distillation Technology for Simultaneous CO2 and H2S Removal for Sour Gas Fields

Natural gas demand has dramatically increased due to the emerging growth of the world economy and industry. Presently, CO₂ and H₂S content in gas fields accounts for up to 90% and 15%, respectively. Apart from fulfilling the market demand, CO₂ and H₂S removal from natural gas is critical due to their corrosive natures, the low heating value of natural gas and the greenhouse gas effect. To date, several gas fields have remained unexplored due to limited technologies to monetize the highly sour natural gas. A variety of conventional technologies have been implemented to purify natural gas such as absorption, adsorption and membrane and cryogenic separation. The application of these technologies in natural gas upgrading are also presented. Among these commercial technologies, cryogenic technology has advanced rapidly in gas separation and proven ideally suitable for bulk CO₂ removal due to its independence from absorbents or adsorbents, which require a larger footprint, weight and energy. Present work comprehensively reviews the mechanisms and potential of the advanced nonconventional cryogenic separation technologies for processing of natural gas streams with high CO₂ and H₂S content. Moreover, the prospects of emerging cryogenic technologies for future commercialization exploitation are highlighted.     

Influence of Humidity on Electrochemical CO2 Sensors Based on Sol-Gel Processed NASICON with New Compositions

Sol-gel processed NASICON-type with new compositions in the Na₃Zr_2–(x/4)Si_2–x P_1+x O₁₂ system showed an improved sinterability with an increase in the x value. This is attributed to liquid phase sintering. This dense electrolyte system is suitable for the application as gas sensors. The CO₂ gas sensors using highly dense x = 0.667 (sample B) and x = 1.333 (sample C) samples show a stable EMF response in dry atmosphere which is very close to the theoretical value. Although a lower sensitivity and slower response were obtained in humid CO₂ gas, the sensor performance recovered after switching from humid gas to dry gas.     

Hydrogen gas mixture separation by CVD silica membrane

In this work we investigate the performance of high flux chemical vapour deposition (CVD) silica membranes for the separation of gas mixtures containing H₂ and CO₂ at various temperatures. The membranes were prepared by a counter diffusion CVD method where tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) and O₂ were used as reactants. Single gas permeation resulted in activated transport for the smaller kinetic diameter gases (H₂ and He) whilst the larger kinetic diameter gases (CO₂ and N₂) showed negative activation energy. The single gas permeation of H₂ increased from 5.1 × 10⁻⁷ to 7.0 × 10⁻⁷ mol m⁻² s⁻¹ Pa⁻¹ in the temperature range 100–400 °C, and H₂/CO₂ and H₂/N₂ selectivities reached 36 and 57 at 400 °C, respectively. The H₂ purity in the permeate stream also increased with temperature for H₂:CO₂ binary gas mixture, thus being beneficial for H₂ diffusion. H₂ competitively permeated through the membrane at a several range of gas mixtures, and a saturation level was achieved at H₂:CO₂ 60:40 feed concentration, where the diffusion of CO₂ molecules became negligible delivering ∼99% H₂ purity in the permeate stream. These results substantiate that the counter diffusion CVD method produced thin silica film membranes with a very precise pore size control, in particular suggesting a narrow pore distribution with average pore radius of about 3.1 Å.     

Reduction of nitric oxide to elemental nitrogen byThiobacillus Denitrificans

A need exists for new technology for the disposal of concentrated NO_x streams obtained from certain regenerable, dry scrubbing processes, such as the NOXSO process, and the removal and disposal of NO_x from more dilute gas streams produced by nitric acid plants. It has been demonstrated that the facultative anaerobe and autotroph, Thiobacillus denitrificans, may be cultured anaerobically in batch reactors using NO (g) as a terminal electron acceptor. Thiosulfate served as an energy source, CO₂ (g) as a carbon source, and ammonium ion as a source of reduced nitrogen. The growth of T.denitrificans was indicated by depletion of thiosulfate and ammonium ion and the accumulation of biomass. The feed gas consisted of 5000 ppmv NO, 5%, CO₂, and balance nitrogen. The NO concentration in the outlet gas was typically 200 ppmv.     

Ab initio studies on several species of the formula X3YO and X3YOH

Ab initio molecular orbital calculations using both minimal and extended basis sets have been applied to two isoelectronic sets of molecules. One set corresponds to the 18 electron species H₃NO, H₃CO^– and H₃COH while the second set contains the 42 electron fluorinated molecules F₃NO, F₃CO^– and F₃COH. The geometries of these molecules have been optimized, using both the minimal STO-3G and the extended 4-31G basis sets. These comparative calculations reveal that the 4-31G basis produced structural parameters in much better agreement with experiment. The effect of includingd-orbitals in the basis set was also investigated. For the fluorinated oxides it has been found that the optimized 4-31G structures were only slightly altered by the addition ofd-orbitals. For H₃NO, on the other hand, the inclusion ofd-orbitals considerably shortens the N-O bond distance. Both H₃NO and CF₃OH, which are unknown experimentally, are theoretically predicted to be capable of existence. The electronic structures of these molecules have also been examined using electronic partitioning according to the Mulliken scheme.

Enthalpies of solution of polyvinylacetate in chloroform,acetone, and methanol using titration calorimetry

Heats of mixing of the solvents chloroform, methanol, and acetone with their solutions in polyvinylacetate have been measured at 25°C using a titration calorimeter. Titration of pure solvent to solutions as well as titration of solutions to the pure solvent or to diluted solutions have been performed. The second method, called reverse titration, proved to be more sensitive than normal dilution titration at sufficiently low polymer concentration. Equations describing the relative sensitivity of both titration methods have been developed. The concentration range covered by the experiments is restricted to volume fractions of polyvinylacetate not higher than 0.1–0.15 due to the high viscosities of concentrated solutions. The interaction parameterX _H of the Flory-Huggins theory has been determined from the calorimetric data.X _H is positive for methanol solutions and negative for chloroform and acetone solutions reflecting endothermic and exothermic heat effects respectively.     

Chemistry of ruthenium in N2P2X2 (X = Cl, Br) coordination sphere: Synthesis, characterization and reactivities

Reaction of 2-(phenylazo)pyridine (pap) with [Ru(PPh₃)₃X₂] (X = Cl, Br) in dichloromethane solution affords [Ru(PPh₃)₂(pap)X₂]. These diamagnetic complexes exhibit a weakdd transition and two intense MLCT transitions in the visible region. In dichloromethane solution they display a one-electron reduction of pap near − 0.90 V vs SCE and a reversible ruthenium(II)-ruthenium(III) oxidation near 0.70 V vs SCE. The [Ru^III(PPh₃)₂(pap)Cl₂]⁺ complex cation, generated by coulometric oxidation of [Ru(PPh₃)₂(pap)Cl₂], shows two intense LMCT transitions in the visible region. It oxidizes N,N-dimethylaniline and [Ru^II(bpy)₂Cl₂] (bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine) to produce N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylbenzidine and [Ru^III(bpy)₂Cl₂]⁺ respectively. Reaction of [Ru(PPh₃)₂(pap)X₂] with Ag⁺ in ethanol produces [Ru(PPh₃)₂(pap)(EtOH)₂]²⁺ which upon further reaction with L (L = pap, bpy, acetylacetonate ion(acac⁻) and oxalate ion (ox²⁻)) gives complexes of type [Ru(PPh₃)₂(pap)(L)]ⁿ⁺ (n = 0, 1, 2). All these diamagnetic complexes show a weakdd transition and several intense MLCT transitions in the visible region. The ruthenium(II)-ruthenium(III) oxidation potential decreases in the order (of L): pap > bpy > acac⁻ > ox²⁻. Reductions of the coordinated pap and bpy are also observed.
