- W1946836601 abstract "The aim of this project was to identify and assess all possible solutions to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from coal power plants in South Africa, identify the most likely solution to be implemented industrially in the short to mid-term future, and contribute towards its development through lab measurement and further research. This thesis thus contains a substantial literature review conducted on the current state of CO2 emissions in South Africa, conventional and novel coal power plant processes, modes of CO2 capture, criteria regarding the implementation of CO2 capture techniques, and the various CO2 capture techniques currently investigated with varying levels of development. The study found gas absorption using solvents to be the most likely mid-term CO2 capture technique to reach industrial implementation. However, certain challenges still need to be overcome, particularly due to numerous limitations of current solvents, to make this technique feasible for CO2 capture. In an attempt to overcome the main challenge of solvent absorption capacity, it was decided to investigate the use of ionic liquids for CO2 absorption. An in-depth review of ionic liquids was conducted, as well as a review of measurement techniques and modelling of gas absorption in alkanolamine and ionic liquid solvents. Four ionic liquids, namely methyl trioctyl ammonium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide [MOA][Tf2N], 1-butyl-3-methyl imidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide [Bmim][Tf2N], 1-butyl-3-methyl imidazolium tetrafluoroborate [Bmim][BF4], and 1-butyl-3-methyl imidazolium methyl sulphate [Bmim][MeSO4] were tested for CO2 and O2 absorption by measuring equilibrium Pressure-Temperature-Liquid mole fraction (P-T-x) data. Measurements were conducted using an Intelligent Gravimetric Analyser (IGA-01) at 303.15, 313.15, and 323.15 K. CO2 partial pressures of 0.05 to 1.5 MPa and O2 partial pressures of 0.05 to 0.7 MPa were investigated. Furthermore, density and refractive index measurements were conducted for all solvents. The ionic liquids were benchmarked against other ionic liquids and conventional alkanolamine solvents for CO2 absorption capacity and selectivity. The study found that ionic liquids achieved higher CO2 absorption capacity at high pressure than conventional alkanolamine solvents, but very low absorption capacity at low pressure. Of the ionic liquids studied, [Bmim][BF4] and [Bmim][Tf2N] achieved high CO2 absorption and high CO2 selectivity over O2. Therefore, these two ionic liquids were selected to be combined with conventional alkanolamine solvents, namely Monoethanolamine (MEA), Diethanolamine (DEA), and Methyl Diethanolamine (MDEA), in order to form hybrid solvents." @default.
