Post-combustion chemical looping uses a calcium looping (CaL) process for CO2 capture. This process has 2 steps: calcination and carbonation. The calciner heats calcium carbonate (CaCO3), thereby breaking it down into CaO and CO2. The CO2 is removed for purification and storage. The CaO is removed from the calciner and fed to the carbonator, which cools it and exposes it to the flue gas. The CaO combines with the CO2 in the flue gas to produce CaCO3, thereby reducing the concentration of CO2 in the flue gas. For more details, see "IECM Technical Documentation: Calcium Looping Cycle for Post-Combustion CO2 Capture", available in the Publications section of our website at https://www.iecm-online.com/.
