Construction of Three-Dimensional Moisture Swing Adsorption Cycle and Energy Efficiency Analysis
Moisture swing adsorption(MSA)method uses water as a lever to efficiently drive direct air carbon capture.At present,its cycle theory and energy efficiency research are relatively scarce.In this paper,MSA process is analyzed from the perspective of thermodynamic cycle,and a 6-step MSA cycle is constructed in the three-dimensional coordinate system of temperature,humidity,and adsorption capacity.Ideal specific energy consumption,thermodynamic efficiency and adsorbent efficiency of basic isothermal MSA cycle and the 6-step MSA cycle are compared,and the effects of temperature and humidity on each indicator are analyzed.Under the adsorption condition of 25℃ and 30%RH,the introduction of temperature swing process can reduce capture energy consumption by 28%at most,and increase the limit of thermodynamic efficiency by 119%.
