Abstract

55% of global warming. According to research, the quantity of CO2 in the atmosphere corresponds well with the growth in the average global temperature of the planet's surface. The main aim of this work is to investigate different emerging Technologies for the carbon capture from power plants and its atmosphere. After capturing of CO2, it is used for the injecting in raceway ponds for micro algae cultivation. Mathematical and experimental analysis for the carbon capture and Sequestration from the coal power plant have been performed in the RKDF University and proposed the microalgae production using captured CO2. For that total 24 experiments were performed to get the efficiency of the CCS plant. The result shows that Input of 250 kg/ hr of flue gasses has been used to capture the CO2. Sodium Carbonate solution of 10% will be sprinkled on top of the packing in tower-A to increase the contact area. The gases are now subject to the counter-current of MEA solution of 30% contained with 1 kg of CO2. MEA-CO2 mixture is heated up to 155°C with the help of a Scheffler dish collector. CO2 gas released from the MEA-CO2 mixture when heated above 130°, the maximum efficiency of the CCS plant of 87.58 % on 04 Jan 2021 at 1200 Noon.
