Dense particulate reaction system (DPRS) is quite common in many engineering fields such
as energy conversion, petro-chemical processing, mineral processing, chemical …

A nearly complete decarbonisation of the power sector is essential to meet the European
Union target for greenhouse gas emissions reduction. Carbon capture and storage …

Ca-Looping technology has experienced a substantial development in the technical
readiness level in the last years, especially in its application as post-combustion CO 2 …

Carbonate looping (CaL) is a promising technology for CO 2 capture from carbon-intensive
processes. The performance of CaL strongly depends on sorbent kinetics and carrying …

Cement sector is currently responsible for approximately 5% of the global CO 2 emissions.
CO 2 originates principally from the raw meal calcination stage and conventional fuel (eg …

Carbonate looping (CaL) technology has the potential to efficiently capture CO 2 from power
plants and carbon-intensive industries such as cement production. Its feasibility has been …

Carbon capture for coal-fired power plant draws an increasing attention, due to CO 2
emissions may have an impact on global climate change. Retrofitting existing power plants …

The calcium looping (CaL) process usually employs a dual-fluidized bed (DFB) solid
circulating unit. In the regenerator (calcinator or calciner), decomposition of CaCO3 …

This paper focuses on the CFD simulation of a CFB pilot-scale carbonator of a 1 MW th DFB
installation located at TU Darmstadt (TUD). The carbonator riser height and diameter are …
