Abstract
CO2 capture by fixed-bed sorption has been evaluated using Supported Ionic Liquid Phase (SILP) based on the ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate ([bmim][acetate]). The SILP sorbent was prepared with three remarkably different mean particle sizes and characterized by porous texture, morphology, thermal stability, and elemental composition. The thermodynamics and kinetics of the CO2 capture process has been studied, testing the effects of SILP particle size, sorption temperature, gas flow rate, and CO2 partial pressure. The CO2 sorption isotherms at different temperatures were obtained by gravimetric measurements, revealing that the equilibrium sorption capacity is only due to the IL incorporated on the silica support of SILP. The experimental isotherms were successfully fitted to the Langmuir–Freundlich model. Fixed-bed experiments of CO2 capture were carried out to evaluate the performance of the SILP sorbents at different operating conditions. All the breakthrough curves were well described b...
