Experimental results of CO2 post-combustion capture for a TSA process including an internal heat-exchanger(indirect heating/cooling) are presented. The comparative experimental study is carried out on 13X and 5Azeolites, with a mixture 90% N2-10% CO2 modeling the flue gas. With 5A zeolite having given the bestperformances, we tested it with various operating conditions including one with nitrogen purge duringdesorption. This one showed a good compromise between CO2 capture rate, purity of the desorbate, volumetricproductivity, and specific-heat consumption. We obtained a volumetric productivity of 37 kgCO2/m3ads·h anda specific-heat consumption of 6 MJ/kgCO2 at our laboratory scale and 4.5 MJ/kgCO2 for the adiabatic estimate(in the same order of magnitude as those obtained industrially with the reference MEA amine process). Theseresults are promising because our process is not optimized yet and the scale-up on an industrial versioninvolves a reduction in specific-heat consumption.
