Utilization of calcium-magnesium based solid sorbents for high temperature co2 capture

This thesis deals with the carbon dioxide capture from gas streams obtained in the power generation industries, such as fossil fuel combustion and coal gasification processes. The technology investigated in this work of thesis is the carbon dioxide absorption on calcium-magnesium based solid sorbents. These materials allow to operate at high temperatures. The work of this thesis is divided into two main parts: 1) the computation and/or measurement of the thermodynamic and kinetic properties of the absorption reactions, and 2) the absorber design
