Abstract
The study of CO2 removal from air-CO2 mixture using coal fly ash (CFA) based adsorbent has been conducted. The sieved CFA was calcined at various temperature (200, 300 and 400 °C) for 4 hours. The calcined adsorbent pellets were characterized before utilizing in CO2 removal. Result suggested that calcination temperature slightly affected the yield of adsorbents. Increasing calcination temperature decreased the density and bulk density; but increased the percentage of adsorbed moisture of the adsorbents. SEM micrograph revealed various shape and size of the adsorbent and matched the result of XRD pattern and EDS analysis. The characterized adsorbents then were utilized to remove CO2 in an adsorption column. The inlet mixture contained 35%-vol of CO2 with flow rate of mixed gas of 200 ml/min. The highest removal was accomplished by using CFA based adsorbent pellet with particle size of 140 mesh, calcination temperature 300 °C for 4 hours. The CO2 removal efficiency was 71.43% with adsorbent capacity of 8.027 mg CO2/g adsorbent.
