  • Patent number: 10391447
    Abstract: A method and plant for capturing CO2 from a CO2 containing exhaust gas (1), where the exhaust gas is compressed (10) and thereafter cooled (13, 15, 22) before the exhaust gas is introduced into an absorber (30), where the exhaust gas is brought in counter-current flow with an aqueous CO2 absorbent solution (49), to give a lean exhaust gas (31) that is withdrawn from the absorber (30), reheated 22, 13) against incoming compressed exhaust gas, and thereafter expanded (34) and released into the atmosphere (4), where the aqueous CO2 absorbent solution is an aqueous potassium carbonate solution, and that the steam and CO2 withdrawn from the regenerator (40) is cooled in a direct contact cooler (61) by counter-current flow of cooling water (62), to generate a gaseous flow (70) of cooled CO2 and steam that is withdrawn for compression and drying of the CO2, and a liquid flow (64) of cooling water and condensed steam that is withdrawn and flashed (80), to give a cooled liquid phase (84) that is recycled as cooling wa
