Proposed Process and Design Considerations for Air Separation and CO 2 Purification in a 100 MWe Oxy–Coal Power‐Generation System
Oxy–coal combustion is one of the most promising approaches for carbon capture and storage associated with large‐scale coal‐fired power stations. This paper presents the results of a study on air‐separation and CO 2 ‐purification processes in terms of a conceptual design for an oxy–coal combustion s...
