Research Advances Toward Achieving the Combustion of Coal in CO sub 2 O sub 2 Atmosphere

摘要

Argonne National Laboratory (ANL), with the sponsorship of the US Department of Energy, is investigating a new approach to recovery carbon dioxide (CO sub 2 ) from stationary combustors. The approach also affects the simultaneous recovery of other gaseous combustion products, e.g., sulfur oxides (SO/sub x/) and nitrogen oxides (NO/sub x/). All the gaseous products exit the plant in a single stream. That stream, principally CO sub 2 , could be disposed of underground (e.g., salt caverns or depleted oil wells) or under ocean (e.g., below 500 m). 5 refs., 1 fig., 1 tab. (ERA citation 13:032119)
