In recent years, Carbon Capture and Storage (Sequestration) (CCS) has been proposed as a potential method to allow the continued use of fossil-fuelled power stations whilst preventing emissions CO2 from reaching atmosphere. Gas, coal (and biomass)-fired can respond changes in demand more readily than many other sources electricity production, hence importance retaining them an option energy mix. Here, we review leading capture technologies, available short long term, their technological...
In this paper, a model that couples reduced alkali kinetic mechanism for sulfate formation during biomass combustion with an ash deposition using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) techniques is presented. Starting detailed gas-phase chemistry, systematic reduction procedure has been performed sensitivity analysis to reduce the reaction level can be implemented into CFD calculation. This validated against full under temperature conditions typically occur in furnaces. Both mechanisms are...
A novel process design and techno-economic performance assessment for methanol synthesis from Blast Furnace Gas (BFG) is presented. Methanol using BFG as a feedstock, based on direct CO2 hydrogenation at commercial scale was simulated Aspen Plus software to evaluate its technical economic viability. The applied steps involve first conditioning adsorption desulfurisation, water-gas shift, dehydration, then separation of components into N2, H2 rich streams pressure swing adsorption. stream...
Among available modes for transport of captured CO2, pressurised pipelines are generally preferred long distances and attract the most attention. However, limitations such as high capital expenditure implementation time have introduced more focus on emerging marine transportation CO2 especially offshore transport. This flexible mode requires liquefaction before shipping study investigates systems ship with different feed streams representative three types capture routes (pre-combustion,...
ABSTRACT For birds breeding in the Arctic, nest success is affected by timing of initiation, which partially determined local conditions such as snow cover. However, during non‐breeding season can carry over to affect breeding. We used tracking and data from 248 individuals 8 species subspecies Arctic‐breeding shorebirds estimate how initiation related like snowmelt phenology versus prior conditions, measured speed migration. Using path analysis, our global model showed that have similar...
Abstract Background/Aims A 52-year-old man of Chinese origin who worked in a water sanitation laboratory was admitted to hospital with 2 months increasing abdominal pain, myalgia, lethargy, 10kg weight loss and fever. His past medical history travel were unremarkable. Methods Admission bloods showed haemoglobin 96g/L platelets 102x109/L, alkaline phosphatase 356U/L, bilirubin 68umol/L CRP 306mg/dL. He treated for presumed biliary infection. Subsequent investigations revealed positive...
This paper presents a global sensitivity analysis of simulations low-temperature isothermal cyclohexane oxidation under fuel-rich conditions using the method high-dimensional model representation (HDMR). The is used to investigate important features process, as well possible factors underlying qualitative discrepancies between and experiments. particular feature interest characteristic quadratic autocatalysis, which observed experimentally leads maximum rate reaction occurring at 50%...
A techno‐economic assessment of options for large scale combustion based power generation in the United Kingdom is presented. Three main technologies large‐scale are examined: Pulverised Fuel (PF), Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC), and Natural Gas (NGCC), with without CO 2 capture. The effect three different capture studied: Post‐Combustion Capture (PCC) applied to PF NGCC plants, Oxyfuel Combustion (OCC) while precombustion IGCC. Different suboptions PCC namely: amine...
