Abstract
CO2 capture by CaO dissolved or partly dissolved in a molten salt shows high, reversible CO2 sorption because of rapid gas–liquid interactions. Using previously obtained data on CaO reactivity with CO2 in a CaCl2 melt, we describe here the application of the CaF2–CaCl2 molten salt for CaO dissolution or partly dissolution in a CO2 capture process. The effects of the CaO concentration in CaF2–CaCl2 (ratio fixed to the eutectic composition), temperature, and gas composition (CO2–N2) on the carbonation/decarbonation reactions in a one-chamber atmospheric pressure reactor were established by means of a Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) gas detector and gravimetric analysis. The CO2 uptake efficiency by CaO dissolved or partly dissolved in the metal halides was found to enhance and stabilize with concentrations of CaO exceeding 10 wt % in CaF2–CaCl2 in the temperature range of 670–710 °C. Desorption of CO2, performed by a thermal swing technique, proceeded rapidly and completely at 927–946 °C. The CaO activity...
