Abstract

Abstract: Ammonia carbon capture technology has the advantages of low cost and high efficiency in removing CO₂,which has great potentials in several applications,particularly in stationary power generation systems. However,ammonia escape is one of the main obstacles. This paper presented a review on the development of mechanism and applications of reducing ammonia escaping technology in the recent years. Firstly,the mass transfer phenomenon of ammonia escaping in absorption and desorption process was described,and the factors influencing the ammonia escaping were analyzed and discussed. Then,the typical technologies of ammonia escaping control were outlined and highlighted,including water(acid)washing,additive,parameter optimization,in terms of their advantages and disadvantages. Finally,the outlook of ammonia escape suppression technology was presented. The combination of different options is believed as a significant development trend. At the same time,low cost and energy consumption,as well as high efficiency will be focused in the future research.
