為了儘可能的減少來自燃煤發電廠等污染源之二氧化碳排放,本研究使用台灣東部開採之石灰石作為含鈣吸附劑的來源,進行反覆的煅燒/碳化循環來探討石灰石對於二氧化碳的移除能力。 實驗分別在固定床反應器與流體化床反應器兩個系統下進行,並利用水合處理來增加吸附劑對於二氧化碳的反應性與耐久性。實驗參數包括吸附劑粒徑大小、碳化溫度、碳化時間、二氧化碳濃度與水合反應條件。在不同的實驗條件下求得石灰石的反覆煅燒/碳化循環的轉化率。由反覆煅燒/碳化循環反應所得到之實驗結果,與前人之經驗關係式做一比較。
In an effort to reduce CO2 emission from the coal-fired power plants, dry calcium-based sorbents injected into combustors has been studied. Experiments have been carried out on domestic limestones from Eastern Taiwan to determine their ability to remove CO2 in multiple calcination/carbonation cycles. Two systems such as a fixed bed and a fluidized bed were employed to examine the capture ability. Repetitive calcination/carbonation reaction with the hydration treatment was operated to enhance the reactivity and durability of the sorbents for CO2 capture. The experimental parameters included the size of sorbent particle, the carbonation temperature, the carbonation time and the hydration treatment. Conversions for the calcination/carbonation of limestone were evaluated under different operating conditions. The empirical model for the decay of the CO2 capture capacity was presented in comparison with the experimental results.
