Abstract
The effects of alkali-metal carbonates and nitrates on the CO2 sorption and regeneration of MgO-based sorbents were investigated in the presence of 10 vol% CO2 and 10 vol% H2O in an intermediate temperature range, 300 to 450 °C. The CO2 capture capacities of the MgO-based sorbents promoted with Na2CO3 and K2CO3 were 9.7 and 45.0 mg CO2/g sorbent, respectively. On the other hand, a MgO-based sorbent promoted with both Na2CO3 and NaNO3 exhibited the highest CO2 capture capacity of 97.4mg CO2/g sorbent at 200 °C in 10 vol% CO2, which was almost ten-times greater than that of the MgO-based sorbent promoted with Na2CO3. The CO2 sorption rate of these sorbents was higher than that of the MgO-based sorbents promoted with alkali-metal nitrates due to the formation of Na2Mg(CO3)2 or K2Mg(CO3)2 by the alkali-metal carbonate and the eutectic reaction of the alkali-metal nitrates. In addition, the reproducibility problem of double-salt sorbents obtained by the precipitation method was completely resolved by impregnating MgO with alkali-metal carbonates and nitrates. Furthermore, we found that their desorption temperatures are lower than those of the MgO-based sorbents promoted with alkali-metal carbonates due to the eutectic reaction during the regeneration process.
期刊介绍:
The Korean Journal of Chemical Engineering provides a global forum for the dissemination of research in chemical engineering. The Journal publishes significant research results obtained in the Asia-Pacific region, and simultaneously introduces recent technical progress made in other areas of the world to this region. Submitted research papers must be of potential industrial significance and specifically concerned with chemical engineering. The editors will give preference to papers having a clearly stated practical scope and applicability in the areas of chemical engineering, and to those where new theoretical concepts are supported by new experimental details. The Journal also regularly publishes featured reviews on emerging and industrially important subjects of chemical engineering as well as selected papers presented at international conferences on the subjects.
