Abstract
This study focuses on enhancing CO2 uptake by modifying limestone with acetate solutions under pressurized carbonation condition. The multicycle tests were carried out in an atmospheric calcination/pressurized carbonation reactor system at different temperatures and pressures. The pore structure characteristics (BET and BJH) were measured as a supplement to the reaction studies. Compared with the raw limestone, the modified sorbent showed a great improvement in CO2 uptake at the same reaction condition. The highest CO2 uptake was obtained at 700°C and 0.5MPa, by 88.5% increase over the limestone at 0.1MPa after 10cycles. The structure characteristics of the sorbents on N2 absorption and SEM confirm that compared with the modified sorbent, the effective pores of limestone are greatly driven off by sintering, which hinders the easy access of CO2 molecules to the unreacted-active sites of CaO. The morphological and structural properties of the modified sorbent did not reveal significant differences after multiple cycles. This would explain its superior performance of CO2 uptake under pressurized carbonation. Even after 10cycles, the modified sorbent still achieved a CO2 uptake of 0.88.
