Popis: The current work addresses the investigation of phase-change solvents behaviour during the design of post-combustion CO2 capture processes. The use of phase-change solvents leads to energetic gains due to their lower regeneration energy demands. The latter are enhanced in this work by the consideration of systematic structural and operating modifications imposed on a reference absorption/desorption flowsheet. Such modifications are realized with the help of a rigorous and flexible model that can represent the phase-change behaviour and includes stream redistribution options that aim to enhance the main process driving forces. An aqueous N-methylcyclohexylamine (MCA) solution is employed in an effort to exploit the solvent’s phase separation behaviour towards the reduction of the total process cost and energy requirements.
