Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>The calcium looping CO₂ capture process using calcium oxide as a regenerable solid sorbent has been under development at the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) of Taiwan for several years. The 3‐kW_th test facility built at ITRI is mainly composed of a fluidized‐bed carbonator and a rotary kiln calciner. The calcination efficiency, the CO₂ capture efficiency, and operating stability were investigated. In addition, a cold model test facility has been constructed and a 1.9‐MW_th pilot plant designed by ITRI is currently being erected. The combination of calcium looping and cement manufacturing process reduces the cost of adsorbent and calcination energy consumption.</p> </abstract>
