SOCRATCES carbonation kinetics model

Leader: CSIC, involved USE, ZAR, AUTH,CNR The kinetic of carbonation is analyzed under different scenarios of pressure and temperature in which the reaction can occurs. As a conclusion, optimized conditions for improving reaction rate are selected. Furthermore, the progressive sorbent deactivation is analyzed under different scenarios: i) Carbonation under pure CO2 atmosphere ii) The effect of steam addition that might enhance reactivity. iii) The effect of another non-reactive gas atmospheres. iv) Analyzing the relative relevance of fast-reaction and diffusion controlled regimes.
