PROCESS FOR THE SEPARATION OF PRESSURISED CARBON DIOXIDE FROM STEAM

摘要

This invention relates to the separation of carbon dioxide gas from a substantially particulate free pressurised gaseous stream of steam and carbon dioxide, such as that generated by the oxidation of a fossil feedstock used in the generation of electric power. Here the stream is cooled by direct water cooling at a pressure of at least 1 bar absolute to condense out essentially all of the steam therein and leave a carbon dioxide stream at pressure for capture or other use.
