Process for removal of carbon dioxide from flue gases

摘要

A process to removal and capture of carbon dioxide from flue gas is provided. Carbon dioxide is extracted from flue gas by contacting the flue gas with a solvent in a solvent extraction zone (1) to obtain a carbon dioxide-depleted flue gas, regenerating the solvent in a solvent regeneration zone (2) by heating the carbon dioxide-containing solvent to obtain a regenerated solvent and a carbon dioxide stream and reacting the carbon dioxide stream obtained in step (b) with a bivalent alkaline earth metal silicate in a mineral carbonation zone (3) by contacting the carbon dioxide stream with silicate particles dispersed in an aqueous solution.
