An improved process for the separation of carbon dioxide from the flue gas of an oxy-combustion power plant is provided. The flue gas is compressed, cleaned, cooled and dried. This clean, compressed dry flue gas is then further cooled, partially condensed and separated into liquid and vapor streams.
An improved process for the separation of carbon dioxide from the flue gas of an oxy-combustion power plant is provided. The flue gas is compressed, cleaned, cooled and dried. This clean, compressed dry flue gas is then further cooled, partially condensed and separated into liquid and vapor streams. The liquid streams, which contain a high concentration of carbon dioxide, are vaporized, compressed and exported to an end user. The vapor streams are heated and expanded, in order to extract useable energy. At least two expanders are used to extract this energy, with an intermediate warming step.

1. An improved carbon dioxide separation process for oxy-combustion coal power plants comprising; a) warming at least a portion of waste stream separated from a flue gas stream, andb) expanding said waste stream, thereby resulting in a cool vapor exhaust stream, wherein said cool vapor exhaust stream cools said flue gas stream through indirect heat exchange, wherein said waste stream separation from said flue gas stream comprises; i) cooling a compressed dry flue gas, partially condensing and phase separating said cooled dry flue gas into a first vapor stream and a first liquid stream,ii) further cooling said first vapor stream, partially condensing and phase separating said further cooled first vapor stream into a second vapor stream and a second liquid stream, wherein said waste stream comprises said second vapor stream, and wherein said cool vapor exhaust stream is vented. 2. The process of claim 1, further comprising repeating steps a) and b) at least once. 3. The process of claim 1, further comprising; c) warming and venting said cool vapor exhaust stream. 4. The process of claim 1, wherein steps i) and ii) comprise; iii) warming and vaporizing said first liquid stream, and said second liquid stream;iv) warming said second vapor stream, thereby, resulting in a warm third vapor stream;v) expanding said third vapor stream, thereby, resulting in a cool fourth vapor stream;vi) warming said fourth vapor stream, thereby, resulting in a warm fifth vapor stream;vii) expanding said fifth vapor stream, thereby, resulting in a cool sixth vapor stream; andviii) warming and venting said sixth vapor stream. 5. The process of claim 4, wherein said third vapor stream has a temperature of between about 35° C. to about 80° C. 6. The process of claim 4, wherein said fifth vapor stream has a temperature of between about 35° C. to about 80° C. 7. The process of claim 4, wherein said first liquid stream comprises at least 90% carbon dioxide. 8. The process of claim 4, wherein said second liquid stream comprises at least 90% carbon dioxide. 9. The process of claim 4, wherein said vaporized and warmed first and second liquid streams of step (iii) are extracted at a temperature of between about 35° C. and −40° C. 10. The process of claim 4, wherein said vaporized and warmed first and second liquid streams of step (iii) are further compressed. 11. The process of claim 1, wherein the SO2 and NO2 impurities of the compressed dry flue gas are removed in a distillation column prior to said partially condensing and phase separating of step (i). 12. The process of claim 1, wherein steps i) and ii) comprise; iii) warming and vaporizing at least a portion of said first liquid stream, and at least a portion of said second liquid stream, thereby, creating a high pressure vapor stream;iv) warming said second vapor stream, thereby, resulting in a warm third vapor stream;v) expanding said third vapor stream, thereby, resulting in a cool fourth vapor stream;vi) warming said fourth vapor stream, thereby, resulting in a warm fifth vapor stream;vii) expanding said fifth vapor stream thereby, resulting in a cool sixth vapor stream; andviii) warming and venting said sixth vapor stream. 13. The process of claim 12, wherein said third vapor stream has a temperature of between about 35° C. to about 80° C. 14. The process of claim 12, wherein said fifth vapor stream has a temperature of between about 35° C. to about 80° C. 15. The process of claim 1, wherein said first liquid stream comprises at least 90% carbon dioxide. 16. The process of claim 1, wherein said second liquid stream comprises at least 90% carbon dioxide. 17. The process of claim 12, wherein said warmed and vaporized first and second liquid streams of step (iii) are extracted at a temperature of between about 35° C. and about −40° C. 18. The process of claim 12, wherein said warmed and vaporized first and second liquid streams of step (iii) are further compressed. 19. The process of claim 12, wherein at least a portion of said first liquid stream remains a liquid. 20. The process of claim 12, wherein at least a portion of said second liquid stream remains a liquid.
