Abstract

The high regeneration energy consumption and ammonia escape in the ammonia regeneration process are regarded as the main barriers for the commercial application of CO 2 capture technology based on ammonia solutions. Metal oxides can enhance the CO 2 desorption process and inhibit the ammonia escape at the same time, which can reduce the energy consumption of CO 2 capture systems. Both ammonium carbamate (NH 2 COONH 4 ) and ammonium bicarbonate (NH 4 HCO 3 ) are examined as the rich ammonia solution. The results show that when the concentration of tungsten trioxide (WO 3 ) was 0.1 mol/L, the CO 2 desorption efficiency could be promoted by 18.8% and the ammonia escape efficiency could be reduced about 14%. The mechanism by which WO 3 increased the CO 2 desorption process was clarified by XRD analysis as the production of ammonium tungstate. In addition, the other nine metal oxides exert no catalytic influence on the regeneration process.
