CFD investigation of CO2 absorption/desorption by a fluidized bed of micro-encapsulated solvents

Micro-encapsulated solvents (MECS) have been proposed for flue gas CO2 capture. However, relatively little is known about the collective behavior of MECS in fixed or fluidized beds. Therefore, we extended our model for microcapsule CO2 capture (Finn and Galvin, 2018) to a CFD-DEM framework. Temperat...
