Abstract
The Calcium Carbonate Looping (CCL) process has the potential to increase net power output as well as reduce CO2 emissions. Even though there have been studies on CCL, most of them were focused on the reaction system of this process. Unlike previous studies, this work deals with the analysis of variables that may affect the separation efficiency of the cyclone separator in a CCL process. The analyses were divided according to five variables: (1) particle solid distribution (PSD), (2) diameter of cyclone, (3) number of cyclone, (4) inlet temperature, and (5) inlet pressure. The output of this work will help users to identify the variables that affect the efficiency of cyclone separators, thus allowing the users to decide on the best operation condition for high-efficiency cyclone separator designs. The findings showed that increasing PSD and inlet temperature could improve the efficiency of the cyclone. Meanwhile, increasing inlet pressure and cyclone diameter could reduce the effectiveness of the cyclone. � 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
