Area of Interest 3: SOLID SORBENTS Solid particles can be used to capture CO2 from flue gas through chemical absorption, physical adsorption, or a combination of the two effects. Possible configurations for contacting the flue gas with the solid particles include fixed, moving, and fluidized beds. Key technical challenges to sorbent based systems for capturing CO2 from coal-fired power plants include: (1) large flue gas volume; (2) relatively low CO2 concentration; (3) flue gas contaminants; and (4) high parasitic power demand for sorbent recovery.
