CO2载体CaO循环煅烧/碳酸化反应的分形特征

捕捉煤燃烧释放出的CO₂时,作为CO₂载体的CaO微观结构特性对其循环碳酸化性能具有显著影响。采用分形维数作为表征CaO微观结构的特征参数,研究在循环煅烧/碳酸化反应过程中CaO的分形特征及其对CO₂捕捉性能的影响规律。结果表明,随着循环次数的增加CaO分形维数逐渐下降,CaO孔道也由粗糙和不规则变得越来越平滑和有规则性。煅烧温度升高则CaO分形维数下降。分形维数较大的CaO具有较高的碳酸化速率。在碳酸化过程的前10 min内CaO的分形维数迅速减小,此后随时间变化缓慢。在分形维数D≤2.61的实验范围内,CaO分形维数与其循环碳酸化转化率呈线性正相关;当D＞2.61时,可能存在临界分形维数D_cr,当D＞D_cr时随着分形维数的进一步增大CaO转化率反而减小。     

钾基CO2吸收剂的碳酸化反应特性

对钾基CO₂吸收剂的碳酸化反应机理进行研究。利用热重分析、XRD、扫描电镜和氮吸附仪进行试验。结果表明：分析纯碳酸钾的组分为K₂CO₃·1.5H₂O,碳酸化反应速率缓慢;先将分析纯碳酸钾样品脱除结晶水后再进行碳酸化反应时,K₂CO₃与气氛中的水蒸气迅速生成K₂CO₃·1.5H₂O,不利于碳酸化反应的进行;由KHCO₃分解产生的K₂CO₃却表现出优越的碳酸化反应性能,20 min内转化率高达85%以上,经过多次循环试验后吸收剂仍保持很高的活性。从微观角度分析了两种改性钾基CO₂吸收剂碳酸化反应机理差异的原因,通过拟合计算得到了这3种钾基吸收剂的碳酸化反应速率常数,为干法K₂CO₃/KHCO₃循环脱除CO₂的研究提供了一定的基础数据。     

钙基CO2吸收剂的循环特性

对钙基CO₂吸收剂的循环特性进行了实验研究，考察了煅烧温度和碳酸化（吸收）温度对吸收剂最大转化率的影响，比较了常压煅烧-碳酸化（CC）过程和煅烧-水合-碳酸化（CHC）过程中吸收剂的最大吸收能力，并就添加剂对吸收剂循环性能的影响进行了实验研究.结果表明，随着循环次数的增加，吸收剂的吸收能力明显下降，未经处理的吸收剂，循环10次后，其吸收能力基本都下降到20％左右;温和的煅烧温度和较高的吸收温度下，吸收剂的最大转化率比较高;CC过程中吸收剂的最大转化率明显低于CHC过程;添加了氯化钠和碳酸钠的吸收剂的吸收能力急剧下降，但循环性能稳定;多次循环后对吸收剂进行再活化，可使其活性恢复到初始的95％.     

钙循环捕集CO2后CaO的水合/脱水热化学储热性能

提出了基于CaO的钙循环捕集CO₂与CaO/Ca(OH)₂体系热化学储热耦合新工艺，在双固定床反应器上，研究了循环捕集CO₂中煅烧条件和碳酸化条件对CaO储热性能的影响，探究CaO循环捕集CO₂过程和循环水合/脱水储热过程的相互作用。研究表明，多次循环碳酸化/煅烧捕集CO₂后CaO仍具有较高储热性能，10次循环捕集CO₂后再经10次储热循环，CaO水合转化率可达0.66mol/mol。与苛刻煅烧条件相比，温和煅烧条件下经历多次循环捕集CO₂后CaO的储热性能更高。在碳酸化气氛中加入水蒸气对经历多次循环捕集CO₂后CaO储热性能的影响不大。钙循环捕集CO₂过程和水合/脱水循环储热过程能够相互促进。该工艺有望同时实现CO₂捕集和储热，具有一定的应用前景。     

循环捕集CO2后煅烧石灰石的硫化特性

ZEC(zero emission coal)系统中,粗煤气进入碳酸化/重整炉前需先脱除H₂S,提出利用经过多次碳酸化/煅烧捕集CO₂循环的煅烧石灰石(CaO)脱除H₂S,并研究循环碳酸化/煅烧次数、硫化温度、H₂S浓度和微观结构对循环CaO硫化特性的影响。结果表明,多次循环碳酸化/煅烧捕集CO₂后CaO仍具有较高H₂S吸收性能。前20次循环,CaO硫化转化率随循环次数增加迅速降低;20次循环后,CaO硫化转化率缓慢下降。硫化120 min后,未循环CaO的硫化转化率接近100%,而经历1、20和100次循环后CaO的硫化转化率分别为94%、81%和74%。H₂S浓度对循环CaO硫化性能影响较大。硫化温度(800～1000℃)对循环CaO的硫化性能影响较小,最佳硫化温度为900℃。随循环次数增加,CaO颗粒发生高温烧结,导致比表面积降低和20～150 nm内孔隙减少,而这是与H₂S吸收密切相关的孔隙,导致CaO硫化转化率降低。     

溶液燃烧合成法制备自活化钙铜复合CO2吸收剂的性能

首次采用溶液燃烧合成法制备了钙铜复合吸收剂用于实现低成本CO₂捕捉。在热重分析仪上研究制备参数（燃烧背景温度、煅烧时间）对吸收剂循环载氧和CO₂捕捉性能的影响,并借助SEM和氮吸附分析其微观结构。结果表明,在燃烧背景温度800℃、煅烧时间为0.5h时制得的钙铜比例为1∶1的复合CO₂吸收剂15次循环之后,钙基吸收剂转化率为51.2%,比纯的CaO提高了44.9%;采用该方法制备的吸收剂具备自活化特性,15次循环内碳酸化性能随循环次数的增加不降反升,且载氧性能非常稳定,氧化率始终高于90%。微观结构表征表明,随着循环次数的增加,复合吸收剂未发生严重烧结并且BET比表面积没有下降。实验结果为溶液燃烧合成法制备高性能钙铜复合CO₂吸收剂的进一步研究提供了基础数据。     

O2/N2、O2/CO2和O2/CO2/NO气氛下煤粉燃烧NOx排放特性

利用滴管炉研究了O₂/N₂、O₂/CO₂和O₂/CO₂/NO气氛下煤燃烧过程中NO_x的排放特性。实验结果表明,在O₂/N₂和O₂/CO₂气氛下,高温或高O₂浓度均使NO排放量增加。O₂/CO₂气氛下NO排放量比O₂/N₂气氛下NO排放量低大约30%～40%。在O₂/CO₂/NO气氛下,温度不同时,O₂浓度变化对NO排放量的影响规律不同,对循环NO降解的影响规律也不同。高温不利于循环NO降解。随停留时间的延长NO排放量出现两个峰值。     

O2/CO2气氛下煤燃烧SO2/NO析出特性

在水平管式炉上研究了O₂浓度、CO₂浓度、温度及石灰石添加等各参数对O₂/CO₂气氛下徐州烟煤和龙岩无烟煤燃烧过程中SO₂/NO排放特性的影响。结果发现,O₂/CO₂气氛下,烟煤和无烟煤燃烧SO₂/NO的析出规律与空气气氛下不同,同等O₂浓度下析出量比空气气氛下小。O₂/CO₂气氛下,随着O₂浓度的提高,烟煤和无烟煤SO₂/NO排放量均增大;随着CO₂浓度的升高, SO₂/NO排放量均减小。O₂/CO₂气氛下,石灰石添加对SO₂排放的抑制作用低于空气气氛下;石灰石添加对NO的排放有一定减排作用。对煤灰的元素分析显示O₂/CO₂燃烧对SO₂的抑制主要是由于煤灰的自固硫能力增强,而对NO的减排作用则是促进燃料N向其他含N气体的转换。     

反应条件对甲烷化法去除重整氢气中CO的影响

研究了在采用甲烷化法去除重整氢气中CO的过程中,反应温度、CO浓度和CO₂浓度对3个竞争反应即CO甲烷化反应、CO₂甲烷化反应、逆变换反应（RWGS）的影响。实验结果表明,随着温度升高,CO、CO₂甲烷化反应速率均增大,但CO甲烷化的选择性降低。CO浓度对CO甲烷化反应速率的影响在高温时较为明显,反应速率随CO浓度的升高而增大;CO对CO₂甲烷化反应的影响在较低温度下较为显著,CO₂甲烷化反应速率随CO浓度的升高而减小,表明CO对CO₂的甲烷化具有抑制作用,因而随着CO浓度的升高,选择性增大。另一方面,CO₂浓度对CO甲烷化反应几乎没有影响,而CO₂甲烷化反应速率和RWGS反应速率均随CO₂浓度的升高而增大,该趋势在高温下更加显著,并对3个竞争反应的宏观动力学进行了初步研究。     

O2/CO2气氛下煤燃烧SO2/NO析出特性

在水平管式炉上研究了O₂浓度、CO₂浓度、温度及石灰石添加等各参数对O₂/CO₂气氛下徐州烟煤和龙岩无烟煤燃烧过程中SO₂/NO排放特性的影响。结果发现,O₂/CO₂气氛下,烟煤和无烟煤燃烧SO₂/NO的析出规律与空气气氛下不同,同等O₂浓度下析出量比空气气氛下小。O₂/CO₂气氛下,随着O₂浓度的提高,烟煤和无烟煤SO₂/NO排放量均增大;随着CO₂浓度的升高, SO₂/NO排放量均减小。O₂/CO₂气氛下,石灰石添加对SO₂排放的抑制作用低于空气气氛下;石灰石添加对NO的排放有一定减排作用。对煤灰的元素分析显示O₂/CO₂燃烧对SO₂的抑制主要是由于煤灰的自固硫能力增强,而对NO的减排作用则是促进燃料N向其他含N气体的转换。     

CO2 Capture Using CaO Modified with Ethanol/Water Solution during Cyclic Calcination/Carbonation

The calcium‐based sorbent cyclic calcination/carbonation reaction is an effective technique for capturing CO₂ from combustion processes. The CO₂ capture capacity for CaO modified with ethanol/water solution was investigated over long‐term calcination/carbonation cycles. In addition, the SEM micrographs and pore structure for the calcined sorbents were analyzed. The carbonation conversion for CaO modified with ethanol/water solution is greater than that for CaO hydrated with distilled water and is much higher than that for calcined limestone. Modified CaO achieves the highest conversion for carbonation at the range of 650–700 °C. Higher values of ethanol concentration in solution result in higher carbonation conversion for modified CaO, and lead to better anti‐sintering performance. After calcination, the specific surface area and pore volume for modified CaO are higher than those for hydrated CaO, and are much greater than those for calcined limestone. The ethanol molecule enhances H₂O molecule affinity and penetrability to CaO in the hydration reaction so that the pores in CaO modified are obviously expanded after calcination. CaO modified with ethanol/water solution can act as a new and promising type of calcium‐based regenerable CO₂ sorbent for industrial applications.     

Effect of rice husk ash addition on CO2 capture behavior of calcium-based sorbent during calcium looping cycle

Rice husk ash/CaO was proposed as a CO₂ sorbent which was prepared by rice husk ash and CaO hydration together. The CO₂ capture behavior of rice husk ash/CaO sorbent was investigated in a twin fixed bed reactor system, and its apparent morphology, pore structure characteristics and phase variation during cyclic carbonation/calcination reactions were examined by SEM-EDX, N₂ adsorption and XRD, respectively. The optimum preparation conditions for rice husk ash/CaO sorbent are hydration temperature of 75 °C, hydration time of 8 h, and mole ratio of SiO₂ in rice husk ash to CaO of 1.0. The cyclic carbonation performances of rice husk ash/CaO at these preparation conditions were compared with those of hydrated CaO and original CaO. The temperature at 660 °C–710 °C is beneficial to CO₂ absorption of rice husk ash/CaO, and it exhibits higher carbonation conversions than hydrated CaO and original CaO during multiple cycles at the same reaction conditions. Rice husk ash/CaO possesses better anti-sintering behavior than the other sorbents. Rice husk ash exhibits better effect on improving cyclic carbonation conversion of CaO than pure SiO₂ and diatomite. Rice husk ash/CaO maintains higher surface area and more abundant pores after calcination during the multiple cycles; however, the other sorbents show a sharp decay at the same reaction conditions. Ca₂SiO₄ found by XRD detection after calcination of rice husk ash/CaO is possibly a key factor in determining the cyclic CO₂ capture behavior of rice husk ash/CaO.     

Modified CaO-based sorbent looping cycle for CO2 mitigation

CaO-based sorbent looping cycle, i.e. cyclic calcination/carbonation, is one of the most interesting technologies for CO₂ capture during coal combustion and gasification processes. In order to improve the durability of limestone during the multiple calcination/carbonation cycles, modified limestone with acetic acid solution was proposed as an CO₂ sorbent. The cyclic carbonation conversions of modified limestone and original one were investigated in a twin fixed bed reactor system. The modified limestone shows the optimum carbonation conversion at the carbonation temperature of 650 °C and achieves a conversion of 0.5 after 20 cycles. The original limestone exhibits the maximum carbonation conversion of 0.15 after 20 cycles. Conversion of the modified limestone decreases slightly as the calcination temperature increases from 920 °C to 1100 °C with the number of cycles, while conversion of the original one displays a sharp decay at the same reaction conditions. The durability of the modified limestone is significantly better than the original one during the multiple cycles because mean grain size of CaO derived from the modified limestone is lower than that from the original one at the same reaction conditions. The calcined modified limestone shows higher surface area and pore volume than the calcined original one with the number of cycles, and pore size distribution of the modified limestone is superior to the original one after the same number of calcinations.     

负载型K2CO3/Al2O3二氧化碳吸收剂的碳酸化反应特性

The carbonation characteristics of K₂CO₃/Al₂O₃ supported sorbent for CO₂ capture was investigated with thermogravimetric apparatus（TGA）,X-ray diffraction（XRD）,scanning electron microscopy analysis（SEM）and N₂ adsorption.The results showed that the carbonation rate of K₂CO₃ before being loaded on Al₂O₃ was slow.However,the K₂CO₃/Al₂O₃ upported sorbent showed excellent carbonation performance.The difference in carbonation behavior between K₂CO₃ nd K₂CO₃/Al₂O₃ supported sorbent was analyzed from the microscopic view.The analytical reagent K₂CO₃ sample was of monoclinic crystal structure and could react quickly with H₂O in the experimental carbonation environment to produce K₂CO₃•1.5H₂O,which was unfavorable to carbonation reaction.When K₂CO₃was loaded on Al₂O₃,the surface area and porosity of the sorbent was improved greatly.So the carbonation properties of the K₂CO₃/Al₂O₃ supported sorbent was also improved.     

CO2 capture from syngas via cyclic carbonation/calcination for a naturally occurring limestone: Modelling and bench-scale testing

The intrinsic rate constants of the CaO-CO₂ reaction, in the presence of syngas, were studied using a grain model for a naturally occurring calcium oxide-based sorbent using a thermogravimetric analyzer. Over temperatures ranging from 580 to 700 °C, it was observed that the presence of CO and H₂ (with steam) during carbonation caused a significant increase in the initial rate of carbonation, which has been attributed to the CaO surface sites catalyzing the water-gas shift reaction, increasing the local CO₂ concentration. The water-gas shift reaction was assumed to be responsible for the increase in activation energy from 29.7 to 60.3 kJ/mol for limestone based on the formation of intermediate complexes. Changes in microporosity due to particle sintering during calcination have been credited with the rapid initial decrease in cyclic CaO maximum conversion for limestone particles, whereas the presence of steam during carbonation has been shown to improve the long-term maximum conversion in comparison to previous studies without steam present.     

EtOH-H2O对钙基吸收剂分离CO2的影响

采用不同体积浓度的乙醇溶液分别对石灰石和石灰石的煅烧产物CaO进行调质处理,研究它们的碳酸化反应,并与水合调质CaO的碳酸化进行比较。通过SEM和N2吸附法考察吸收剂多次煅烧的微观结构特性,进一步揭示了乙醇溶液促进CaO碳酸化的机理。结果表明：随着循环反应次数的增加,乙醇溶液调质后CaO的碳酸化转化率明显高于石灰石和水合调质的CaO,对于石灰石,乙醇溶液则没有明显的调质效果。CaO经乙醇溶液调质后在650～700℃内有利于碳酸化的进行。乙醇浓度越高,则经调质后CaO的转化率越高,抗烧结性能越好。经乙醇溶液调质的CaO煅烧后比表面积和比孔容均比单纯水合大,远高于煅烧后的石灰石;比孔容分布和孔比表面积分布明显优于煅烧后的水合CaO和石灰石。乙醇溶液调质对CaO的孔有明显的增扩效应。     

Cyclic calcination/carbonation looping of dolomite modified with acetic acid for CO2 capture

The dolomite modified with acetic acid solution was proposed as a CO₂ sorbent for calcination/carbonation cycles. The carbonation conversions for modified and original dolomites in a twin fixed-bed reactor system with increasing the numbers of cycles were investigated. The carbonation temperature in the range of 630 °C–700 °C is beneficial to the carbonation reaction of modified dolomite. The carbonation conversion for modified dolomite is significantly higher than that for original sorbent at the same reaction conditions with increasing numbers of reaction cycles. The modified dolomite exhibits a carbonation conversion of 0.6 after 20 cycles, while the unmodified sorbent shows a conversion of 0.26 at the same reaction conditions, which is calcined at 920 °C and carbonated at 650 °C. At the high calcination temperature over 920 °C modified dolomite can maintain much higher conversion than unmodified sorbent. The mean grain size of CaO derived from modified dolomite is smaller than that from original sorbent with increasing numbers of reaction cycles. The calcined modified dolomite possesses greater surface area and pore volume than calcined original sorbent during the multiple cycles. The pore volume and pore area distributions for calcined modified dolomite are also superior to those for calcined unmodified sorbent during the looping cycle. The modified dolomite is proved as a new and promising type of regenerable CO₂ sorbent for industrial applications.     

Enhanced cyclic stability of CO<Subscript>2</Subscript> adsorption capacity of CaO-based sorbents using La<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>3</Subscript> or Ca<Subscript>12</Subscript>Al<Subscript>14</Subscript>O<Subscript>33</Subscript> as additives

To improve the stability of CaO adsorption capacity for CO₂ capture during multiple carbonation/calcination cycles, modified CaO-based sorbents were synthesized by sol-gel-combustion-synthesis (SGCS) method and wet physical mixing method, respectively, to overcome the problem of loss-in-capacity of CaO-based sorbents. The cyclic CaO adsorption capacity of the sorbents as well as the effect of the addition of La₂O₃ or Ca₁₂Al₁₄O₃₃ was investigated in a fixed-bed reactor. The transient phase change and microstructure were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FSEM), respectively. The experimental results indicate that La₂O₃ played an active role in the carbonation/calcination reactions. When the sorbents were made by wet physical mixing method, CaO/Ca₁₂Al₁₄O₃₃ was much better than CaO/La₂O₃ in cyclic CO₂ capture performance. When the sorbents were made by SGCS method, the synthetic CaO/La₂O₃ sorbent provided the best performance of a carbonation conversion of up to 93% and an adsorption capacity of up to 0.58 g-CO₂/g-sorbent after 11 cycles.
