Terry Wall in OpenAIREAbstract Oxyfuel combustion is a CO2 capture technology which is approaching commercial demonstration. Of practical interest is the use of the compression circuit to allow low-cost cleaning options for various flue gas impurities. This work has focussed on three species – NOx SOx and Hg – and their removal during compression of “real” oxyfuel flue gas sampled as a slip stream from the demonstration Callide Oxyfuel Project. The flue gas slip stream was compressed using a bench-scale piston compressor developed to allow measurements of impurity concentrations after each compression stage using adjustable pressures. Several operating configurations were investigated including variable pressures from 5 to 30 bar, interstage temperature changes and flow rate. Slip streams taken before and after SOx removal allowed the impact of mixed NOx/SOx gases to also be investigated. The results from the “real” oxyfuel flue gas experiments for the three species were similar to those performed in the laboratory using synthetic flue gas and reported previously. The capture of SO2 was found at be greater at low pressures than NOx capture, with 90% removal of SO2 by a pressure of 10 bar, with NOx capture extending to higher pressures. The effect of residence time during compression had the greatest influence at higher pressures (>10 bar) where the kinetic rate of NO oxidation to NO2 increases less with pressure increase. Capture of NOx was increased from 55% to 75% by doubling the residence time in the compressor and could be further extended to 83% by increasing back end pressure from 24 bar to 30 bar. Lowering the temperature during compression produced the greatest NOx and Hg capture. Overall, the results indicate that capture of mercury during compression occurred as a consequence of high pressure, longer residence time and concentration of NO2.

A comprehensive set of total (Hgtot), elemental (Hg0) and oxidized (Hg2+) mercury as well as SO3 concentrations was obtained before and after the combustion rig's baghouse filter for in total 14 air and oxy-fuel experiments with 3 Australian coals. Based on this data, an assessment in respect to Hg oxidation, SO2/SO3 conversion and Hg and SO3 capture on the test rig's filter was performed. The air and the oxy-fuel experiments with different extents of recycle gas cleaning, revealed differences in the Hg and SO3 formation and capture behavior: The Hg2+/Hgtot ratios in the flue gas are higher during oxy-fuel combustion compared to air-firing. This effect is even more pronounced at the filter outlet, after flue gas has passed through the filter ash. In some experiments, even a net oxidation of Hg0 entering the filter to Hg2+ was observed. The Hg capture by ash in the baghouse filter has been found to reduce the Hg emissions considerably. However, the Hg capture was altered by the different oxy-fuel recycle configurations, leading to decreased Hg capture efficiencies on the filter for one of the coals. A coal-specific trend of increased SO2/SO3 conversion ratios with increased flue gas SO2 levels was observed that could be related to the ash composition of the three different coals. This and the higher SO2 concentrations in the flue gas lead to considerably higher SO3 levels in oxy-fuel combustion with SO2 recycling. During the experiments, also a considerable capture of SO3 in the baghouse filter was observed (up to 80% under air- and up to 66% under oxy-fired conditions). A reduction of the SO3 capture on the filter under oxy-fuel conditions may be related to the higher SO3 levels in this process.
