Popis: The increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration has lead to concerns about global warming. One of the options that can contribute to the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions is CO 2 sequestration by mineral carbonation. In this paper we will present a model of an oxyfuel combustion process integrated into a carbonation process using Mg(OH) 2 produced from magnesium silicate mineral. Therefore, the objective of this work is to develop integrated carbon dioxide capture and storage methods for an oxyfuel combustion process where CO 2 will be captured directly from the flue gas in a carbonation reactor. There it reacts with injected magnesium hydroxide Mg(OH) 2 solid, with thermodynamically stable MgCO 3 as the final product. In this paper we will present a process model that illustrates how the carbonation process integrated into oxyfuel combustion could be an alternative process for oxyfuel combustion followed by geological storage of CO 2 . We will also present a simulation model for this process by using Aspen Plus ® simulation software.
