- Abstract
- This chapter discusses the importance of flue-gas treatment and the effect of its impurities on post-combustion CO2 capture (PCC) process performance. Important consequences of nonoptimized flue-gas treatment include atmospheric emissions, amine degradation, extra maintenance requirements through corrosion or fly ash deposition, and waste handling. Each of these areas is strongly dependent on the others. We briefly describe existing flue-gas separation technologies and compare them to the requirements of PCC. Further pretreatment technologies are suggested to improve the composition and thereby the properties of the flue gas entering the PCC plant. For optimal plant operation, the overall process from boiler to atmosphere and waste needs to be analyzed holistically, because: certain approaches can increase efficiency when treating multiple contaminants compared with treating each component separately;most "cleaning" steps influence or generate other compounds that could reduce the performance of the process chain;all costs associated with the treatment chain increase production costs, with little or no increase in value. © 2016 Copyright © 2016 Elsevier Ltd All rights reserved.
