Abstract

A significant factor influencing climate change is the release of carbon dioxide (CO₂) into the atmosphere as a consequence of human activities such as the combustion of fossil fuels. Climate change can be slowed down by taking action to mitigate industrial-scale CO₂ emissions. Currently, the most advanced technology for capturing CO₂ from industrial flue gases is the post-combustion CO₂ capture based on amine absorption. However, due to the high energy penalties of existing CO₂ capture technologies and insufficient carbon markets, it is necessary to develop methods that compete with these technologies or minimize their energy use. In this work, the absorption process is analyzed for the capture of CO₂ in post-combustion flue gases using modelling and simulation methodology. Based on the outcomes of the simulation, the CO₂ capture process demonstrates a noteworthy CO₂ capture efficiency of 90%, yielding a high-purity CO₂ output exceeding 98%.
