Activation Strategies for Calcium-Based Sorbents for CO2 Capture: A Perspective

The chemical looping process (CLP) using calcium-based sorbents to capture CO2 through cyclic carbonation–calcination reaction (CCR) before, during, or after the conversion of carbonaceous fuel occurs, is a viable CO2 control technology. With extensive past and current research efforts, the basic process concept has been found to be attractive at larger scales. Additionally, process simulations based on experimental results indicate that the parasitic energy consumption for this high temperature process is relatively low compared to low temperature processes such as the amine-based process. The ability of the calcium-based sorbents to maintain stable reactivity and physical integrity in cyclic reaction under severe operating conditions is one of the most important criteria for the success of the calcium looping technology. Despite being abundant and cheap, calcium-based sorbents derived from naturally occurring precursors, such as limestone and dolomite, suffer from rapid reactivity deterioration after hi...
