Abstract (en)

[origin: US2012227440A1] Disclosed herein is a system comprising a first heat exchanger; the first heat exchanger being operative to reduce a temperature of a carbon dioxide rich flue gas stream to about −100 to about −60 C; an absorber; the absorber being located downstream of the first heat exchanger; wherein the absorber facilitates contact between the flue gas stream and a solvent to form a carbon dioxide rich solvent stream; the solvent being operative to selectively absorb carbon dioxide over other gases present in the flue gas stream; and a valve; the valve being located downstream of the absorber; the valve being operative to reduce a pressure on the carbon dioxide rich solvent stream to produce carbon dioxide and a lean carbon dioxide solvent stream.
