CO2 Capture From Post-Combustion Flue Gas Using VPSA Process With Zeolite 13X

For several years, the reduction of anthropogenic CO2 emissions from industries has become one of the most crucial issues to combat global warming. Shifting towards a low-carbon economy needs cost-effective novel carbon capture utilization or sequestration (CCUS) solutions. The current benchmark technique, the absorption amine-based process, suffers from high energy penalties due to solvent regeneration and high environmental impact. So, the adsorption process is widely considered as a promising alternative. However, the performances of adsorbents have not been fully evaluated in real industrial conditions. In this context, this study focuses on the determination of Zeolite 13X performances in the Vacuum Pressure Swing Adsorption (VPSA) process to capture CO2 from flue gases in post-combustion conditions.
