abstract = {The industrial deployment of capture technologies for
purifying gases with low partial pressure (e.g., flue gas)
has been limited due to substantial economic hurdles.
Process intensification offers a pathway to enhance the cost
efficiency of sequestration. One approach that has garnered
significant attention is the process integration of
phase-change absorbents. Among these, bis(iminoguanidines)
have shown considerable promise in recent literature.
Particularly, glyoxal-bis(iminoguanidine) (GBIG) has
demonstrated the ability to precipitate with low
regeneration energy demand. However, GBIG and comparable
phase-change absorbents require the integration of alkaline
scrubbing with reactive precipitation in a single unit
operation (gas-liquid reactive precipitation), introducing
operational challenges such as scaling and clogging in
conventionally applied packed-bed columns. To mitigate these
issues, this study investigates the use of a spray tower as
a gas-liquid reactive precipitator for capture from a flue
gas surrogate. A pilot-scale spray tower is designed,
constructed, and operated. Contrary to expectations,
Rayleigh breakup of liquid jets induces a bimodal droplet
size distribution in the lower sections of the tower,
indicating limited scalability and highlighting the need for
liquid recycling. For comparative purposes, the
investigation includes a -precipitating system () and a
non-precipitating system (), alongside GBIG. All systems
demonstrate stable operability in single-pass and batch
modes. During liquid recycling, small amounts of solids are
entrained to the tower top. Nevertheless, no evidence of
scaling or clogging is detected at the orifice plate,
suggesting that the precipitated solids are significantly
smaller than the orifice diameter. In the final performance
comparison, the system demonstrates superior capture
efficiency relative to the system. However, achieving this
efficiency comes at the expense of process kinetics.},
