Study on the interaction between NOx and K2CO 3 during CO2 absorption

Abstract

The trend toward global warming has become more and more apparent in recent years. It has been widely accepted that CO2 is the main contributor to this process and that CO2 emissions urgently need to be reduced. However, the capital cost for CO2 capture from a coal-fired power station using aditional solvent absorption technology is relatively high. A possible solution to reduce the cost is to achieve absorption of SO2, NOx, and CO2 in a one-step process. Potassium carbonate K2CO3) is a potential solvent for absorbing all of these components simultaneously. To apply this absorption process in an industrial situation, it is very important to understand the interaction between the solvent and ..
