Carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide concentration monitoring for improved carbon capture and storage: from laboratory to a field test in a cement plant

摘要

The cement industry is facing pressure to find technological solutions in reducing greenhouse gas emissions owing to the large amount of process emissions originating from the calcination of limestone. In this communication, an all-fibre gas monitoring system based on anti-resonant hollow-core fibres is proposed. An on-field test was performed in the harsh environment of a cement factory and it demonstrated the feasibility of using this system for low-concentration carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide monitoring in exhaust fumes.
