High Temperature CO2 Capture by Regenerable Calcium Aluminates Carbonates Sorbents

Article Preview

Abstract:

The calcium aluminates carbonates are prepared as mediumhigh temperature CO2 sorbents. The sorbent exhibited excellent performance with 53 wt% capacity and 99% stability in TGA test for 15 h. However, using the sorbent in a fixed-bed reactor, it was found that the stability rapidly decreased to about 35% after 10 cycles. Hence, development of regeneration methods for reusing this spent sorbents is critical to economic consideration toward CO2 capture technology. The calcium aluminates carbonates sorbent makes up layered structure including cations formation (Ca2+, Al3+) and lamella anions (CO32-, OH), which can be re-constructed under aqueous conditions. Aqueous hydrolysis provides an efficient route to reactive sorbent. The results showed that CO2 capacity could be recovered to around 50 wt% with 98% stability in TGA test for 15 h for spent sorbents. The reactive mechanism of sorbent is worthy to further discussing.
