Project Description: |
This project proposes to synthesize; characterize; and
evaluate novel sorbents for removal of CO2 from high temperature gas
streams. Existing sorbents are
typically based on aluminum zeolites which cannot
operate at elevated temperatures.
Also; these sorbents can only be used for low concentrations of CO2
and coadsorb water; which decreases their
saturation capacity. Sorbents which do
not have these disadvantages could be used to remove CO2 from hot flue gas;
coal gasification; fuel cell applications; and for purification of H2 from
the water gas shift reaction. CO2 is a
weak acid and therefore attracted by basic surfaces. It has been found that combinations of
alkali metals on rare earth oxides can result in superbasic
materials. The objectives of this
study are to synthesize sorbents with alkali metals (Li; Na; K; Rb; and Cs) on CaO and MgO. The sorbents
will be characterized with x-ray diffraction; XPS; FT-IR; Temperature
Programmed Desorption; and titrations to determine
the concentration and strength of basic sites. The sorbents will be screened with sorption
and desorption studies with CO2. The performance of the sorbents will be
correlated with their surface properties. |
