Abstract

In this work, a new design for post-combustion capture (PCC) of CO 2 is introduced, using green deep eutectic solvent Choline chloride/Urea (1:2). A multi-objective optimization using meta-heuristic algorithm differential evolution and tabu list (MODE-TL) considering environmental and economic objectives is preformed to obtain a sustainable process design. The proposed process was analyzed for treating flue gases from combustion of the most common fuels used in power plants. The process performs with a lower cost and environmental impact when treating flue gases from the combustion of coal. Through a simulation in Aspen Plus, it is shown that using ChCl/Urea (1:2) it's possible to obtain a process capable of recovering more than 95% of the CO 2 contained in the combustion gases with a purity of 95% molar. A sustainable capture processes according to the objectives of green chemical engineering and circular economy is developed.
