Efficient Carbon Capture for Coal Power Plants

Informationen zum Autor Detlef Stolten is the Director of the Institute of Energy Research at the Forschungszentrum Jülich. Prof. Stolten received his doctorate from the University of Technology at Clausthal!Germany. He served many years as a Research Scientist in the laboratories of Robert Bosch and Daimler Benz/Dornier. In 1998 he accepted the position of Director of the Institute of Materials and Process Technology at the Research Center Jülich. Two years later he became Professor for Fuel Cell Technology at the University of Technology (RWTH) at Aachen. Prof. Stolten's research focuses on fuel cells! implementing results from research in innovative products! procedures and processes in collaboration with industry! contributing towards bridging the gap between science and technology. His research activities are focused on energy process engineering of SOFC and PEFC systems! i.e. electrochemistry! stack technology! process and systems engineering as well as systems analysis. Prof. Stolten represents Germany in the Executive Committee of the IEA Annex Advanced Fuel Cells and is on the advisory board of the journal Fuel Cells. Viktor Scherer is the Head of the Department of Energy Plant Technology at the University of Bochum! Germany. He received his doctorate from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technolgy (KIT)! Germany. Prof. Scherer worked for more than 10 years in the power plant industry for ABB and Alstom. In 2000 he was appointed as a Professor in Energy Plant Technology at the University of Bochum. His research activities are focused on the analysis and description of chemically reacting flow fields in the energy related industry! like power plant! steel and cement industry. Another research aspect is the integration of membranes for carbon capture into Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) power plants. Prof. Scherer is a member of the scientific advisory board of the VGB Power Tech! the European Association of power and heat generation. Klappentext Carbon Capture and Storage is a key technology for a sustainable and low carbon economy. This book unites top academic and industry researchers in search for commercial concepts for CCS at coal power ploants. This reference focuses on power plant technology and ways to improve efficiency.It details the three principal ways of capturing the CO2 produced in power plants: oxyfuel combustion! postcombustion and precombustion! with the main part concentrating on the different approaches to removing carbon dioxide. Wtih an eye on safety! the authors explain how the three parts of the CCS chain work - capture! transport and storage - and how they can be performed safely.The result is specific insights for process engineers! chemists! physicists and materials engineers in their relevant fields! as well as a sufficiently broad scope to be able to understand the opportunities and implications of the other disciples.
