Abstract

See full text

This invention discloses a calcination process to produce high purity CO2 from solids containing CaCO3 which operates cyclically and continuously on the solids, arranged in a packed or a moving bed, and wherein each cycle comprises a first step where the combustion at atmospheric pressure of a fuel in the bed of solids containing CaCO3 heats them up to 800-900° C. and a second step wherein a vacuum pressure between 0.05 and 0.5 atm is applied to extract pure CO2 from the solids containing CaCO3 while cooling them by 30-200° C. Said combustion can be carried out directly with air, oxygen enriched air or O2/CO2 mixtures when the process is applied to the calcination of a continuous flow of limestone in a moving bed shaft kiln. The process is also applied to calcine CaCO3 formed in reversible calcium looping processes comprising a carbonation reaction step to form CaCO3 from CaO.
