A method for integrating a carbon capture process with a process for cement production.

Method for capturing carbon dioxide

A carbon capture system includes a Carbonator for adsorbing carbon dioxide with a carbon dioxide lean sorbent generating a carbon dioxide rich sorbent, a first Calciner for thermally decomposing a carbon dioxide rich sorbent into a carbon dioxide lean sorbent and carbon dioxide, a supply of raw material to be calcined into the first Calciner containing a carbon dioxide rich sorbent, a connection between the first Calciner and the Carbonator, a second Calciner for thermally decomposing a carbon dioxide rich sorbent into a carbon dioxide lean sorbent and carbon dioxide, a connection between the Carbonator and the second Calciner, and a connection between the second Calciner and the Carbonator.

Carbon capture system and method for capturing carbon dioxide

A method for calcination includes providing a heated coarse solid particle stream with a carbon dioxide rich sorbent to a reactor having a rotatable container.

Method for calcination of a carbon dioxide rich sorbent

A method for calcination of a carbon dioxide rich sorbent (containing CaCO) includes combusting in a furnace a fuel with an oxidizer, supplying heat transfer (HT) solids into the furnace and heating them, transferring the HT solid particles from the furnace to a reactor having a rotatable container, supplying a carbon dioxide rich solid sorbent (containing CaCO) into the rotatable container, rotating the rotatable container for mixing the solid particles and the carbon dioxide rich solid sorbent for transferring heat from the solid particles to the carbon dioxide rich solid sorbent and generating carbon dioxide and carbon dioxide lean solid sorbent (mainly CaO), discharging the carbon dioxide and the carbon dioxide lean solid sorbent from the rotatable container and the subsequent classification of the HT solids from the lean sorbent.
