Case Study of Applying Adsorption Based Carbon Capture for a Pulp Mill
Short Introductive summary
This study presents a process modelling and techno-economic assessment of a hybrid adsorption and low-temperature swing (HALT) process for industrial CO2 capture. The system, designed for pulp mill flue gas, employs activated carbon in a dual-cycle vacuum temperature swing adsorption (VTSA) configuration. Simulation results demonstrate 98% CO2 purity and 93.8% recovery with an estimated capture cost of €42 per ton, reducible to €36.7 per ton through energy integration. The findings highlight the feasibility of adsorption-based carbon capture as a cost-effective and scalable solution for bio-based industrial applications.
