Large-scale high-temperature solar energy storage using natural minerals
(Elsevier, 2017)
The present work is focused on thermochemical energy storage (TCES) in Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) plants by means of the Calcium-Looping (CaL) process using cheap, abundant and non-toxic natural carbonate minerals. CaL ...

CO2 capture performance of Ca-Mg acetates at realistic Calcium Looping conditions
(Elsevier BV, 2017)
The Calcium Looping (CaL) process, based on the cyclic carbonation/calcination of CaO, has emerged in the last years as a potentially low cost technique for CO2capture at reduced energy penalty. In the present work, natural ...

Effect of dolomite decomposition under CO2 on its multicycle CO2 capture behaviour under calcium looping conditions
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2016)
One of the major drawbacks that hinder the industrial competitiveness of the calcium looping (CaL) process for CO capture is the high temperature (∼930-950 °C) needed in practice to attain full calcination of limestone in ...

Ca-looping for postcombustion CO2 capture: A comparative analysis on the performances of dolomite and limestone
(Pergamon Press, 2015)
The low cost and wide availability of natural limestone (CaCO3) is at the basis of the industrial competitiveness of the Ca-looping (CaL) technology for postcombustion CO2 capture as already demonstrated by ~1Mwt scale ...

Influence of ball milling on CaO crystal growth during limestone and dolomite calcination: Effect on CO2 capture at Calcium Looping conditions
(American Chemical Society, 2016)
The multicycle CO2 capture performance of CaO derived from the calcination of ball-milled limestone and dolomite have been tested under high temperature and high CO2 concentration environment for the first time. Here it ...

Relevant influence of limestone crystallinity on CO2 capture in the Ca-looping technology at realistic calcination conditions
(American Chemical Society, 2014)
We analyze the role of limestone crystallinity on its CO2 capture performance when subjected to carbonation/calcination cycles at conditions mimicking the Ca-looping (CaL) technology for postcombustion CO 2 capture. The ...

Limestone calcination nearby equilibrium: Kinetics, CaO crystal structure, sintering and reactivity
(American Chemical Society, 2015)
In this work, we analyze limestone calcination kinetics at environmental conditions involving a CO2 partial pressure P close to the equilibrium pressure Peq by means of in situ X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermogravimetric ...

Effect of heat pretreatment/recarbonation in the Ca-looping process at realistic calcination conditions
(American Chemical Society, 2014)
Even though an increasing number of pilot-scale plants are demonstrating the potential efficiency of the Ca-looping technology to capture CO2 at a commercial level, a still standing matter of concern is the loss of carbonation ...

Steam-enhanced calcium-looping performance of limestone for thermochemical energy storage: The role of particle size
(Elsevier, 2022)
Steam injection has been proposed to attenuate the decay of CaO reactivity during calcium looping (CaL) under operating conditions compatible with carbon capture and storage. However, it is yet unknown whether the perceived ...
