Abstract

Carbon Dioxide is one of the important and major Green House Gas, It is mandatory to be removed after any combustion process (from the flue gases). In this Research work the removal rate of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) in the flue gases coming from the combustion process of Boiler would be removed. There are common processes available for the removal/ separation of Carbon dioxide, but it takes more amount of energy. By comparing with this formerly the combustion process with the pure oxygen can be done for removal of carbon dioxide. With this the redesign of boiler is required and secondary option is chemical solvents (like monoethanolamine, diethanolamine and methyl diethanolamine etc) process can be adopted and modified in the boiler system. The later one gives the significant reduction of electricity bills. By utilizing the different special chemical solvents in the vertical column, the Mathematical model will be introduced to compare the rate of removal, further it is simulated using MATLAB and chemCAD software and by comparing the simulation results one of the best Special solvent is selected for greater energy efficiency and lowering the electricity costs.
