    • Investigation into optimal CO2 concentration for CO2 capture from aluminium production 

      Mathisen, Anette; Sørensen, Henriette; Melaaen, Morten Christian; Müller, Gunn-Iren (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013-08-05)
      Capture of CO2 from aluminum production has been simulated using Aspen Plus and Aspen Hysys. The technology used for aluminum production is the Hall-Héroult and the current cell design necessitates that large amounts of ...
    • Optimization of biomass gasification reactor using Aspen Plus 

      Sun, Ke (Master thesis, 2015-10-30)
      Biomass is an ideal renewable and clean energy resource. Counties all over the world are paying more and more attention to biomass because it can effectively reduce greenhouse effect due to its zero carbon dioxide emission. ...
    • Process Simulation of Calcium Looping With Indirect Calciner Heat Transfer 

      Jayarathna, Chameera K.; Mathisen, Anette; Øi, Lars Erik; Tokheim, Lars-André (Conference object; Peer reviewed, 2015-11-25)
      In calcium looping (CL), calcium oxide (CaO) is used as a sorbent for carbon dioxide (CO2). The CO2 reacts with CaO to produce calcium carbonate (CaCO3) in a carbonator operating at about 650 °C. The CaCO3 is then sent to ...
