Description
Summary:•Phase separation solvent enables to reduce the temperature difference between absorber and desorber.•The low temperature swing process economizes the energy requirement for the CO2 capture with reaction-heat recovery.•The energy requirement was estimated to be as low as 1.6 GJ/ton-CO2. We have developed a phase separation solvent which transforms into two liquid phases after CO2 absorption, in order to establish an energy-saving CO2 capture process. The CO2 loading changes strongly with temperature increase during the phase separation, which enables us to reduce the temperature difference between absorber and desorber. The low temperature swing process economizes the energy requirement for the CO2 capture process with highly-effective reaction-heat recovery. We evaluated the energy consumption of the CO2 capture process with our novel phase separation solvent based on the CO2 solubility. The energy requirement was estimated to be as low as 1.6 GJ/ton-CO2.
