SEPARATION OF CO2 FROM FLUE GAS VIA CONTINUOUS HYDRATE FORMATION AND DISSOCIATION IN THE PRESENCE OF THF

摘要

Since Hammerschmidt' found the composition of natural gas hydrate (NGH) formed in gas pipelines was different from the composition of original gas in 1934, hydrate has been regarded as a potential novel separation technology. On account of the growing greenhouse effects, the separation of CO2 from exhaust gas via hydrate formation has attracted more attentions. However, most of the separation processes are batch-type and elementary, which may not be applied on an industrial scale. In this work, we set up a new apparatus and achieved continuous gas separation via sequential hydrate formation and dissociation.
