This paper firstly conducted the experiments of CO2 capture from flue gas by vacuum pressure swing adsorption (VPSA) based on the two-bed experimental set-up using industrial silica as adsorbent. The mathematical model of VPSA process was built in gPROMS and its validity was well verified by comparing the results of simulation with experiment. The concentration of CO2 can be enriched to 74% from 15% with recovery of 91.52% by the two-bed VPSA process. Based on the model
the relationship of product concentration
recovery
energy consumption of CO2 with feed flowrate
adsorption time and blowdown pressure was investigated. The influence of bed pressure and feed flowrate on compressor energy consumption was also studied. Results showed that the concentration of CO2 can be enriched significantly by increasing feed flowrate
extending adsorption time and decreasing counter-blowdown pressure
but all of them were companied with reduction in recovery and the former two led to a higher energy consumption. The higher in adsorption pressure and larger in feed flowrate
