Abstract

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is gathering the momentum to achieve the ultimate target of carbon neutrality. Temperature vacuum swing adsorption (TVSA) has uncovered its superiority due to large working capacity, CO2 purity and recovery rate. However, high energy demand in the regeneration process of adsorbent leads to the loss of net efficiency of coal-fired power plant (CFPP) after retrofitted. This paper initially proposes and evaluates an integrated system which is composed of an adsorption carbon capture unit (ADCCU) and a single-effect absorption heat transformer (SAHT). Then a general concept of sorption carbon capture integrated with heat pump could be introduced. Results indicates that CO2 purity and recovery rate of the integrated system vary from 91.20 % to 92.75 % and from 95.62 % to 98.11 % when flowrate range from 48 NL·min−1 to 60 NL·min−1. Under the condition of 140 °C regeneration temperature of ADCCU and 80 °C generation temperature of SAHT, exergy efficiency of SAHT achieves the maximum value of 85.28 %. Moreover, a vapor compression heat pump (VCHP) system is coupled to provide moderate temperature heat for SAHT when waste heat of CFPP is inadequate. The effect of waste heat and electricity consumed on performance of CFPP is also taken into consideration. When recovery rate is lower than 27 %, performance of the proposed integrated system is more favorable than that using steam evacuated from the turbine. It is demonstrated that heat pump assisted adsorption capture for CFPP may be a promising solution to reduce energy consumption in the near future.
