镁负载CaO基吸附剂捕集CO2性能及抗烧结机理

复合钙基吸附剂制备成本过高是限制其工业化应用的主要瓶颈问题。本文以不可溶的CaCO₃和Ca(OH)₂作为钙源,通过燃烧合成法制备钙镁复合吸附剂,在双固定床反应器上研究了其循环捕集CO₂性能。结果显示：制备得到的钙镁复合吸附剂具有更发达的孔隙结构,吸附剂表面Ca和Mg分散均匀,MgO均匀分布于CaO晶粒之间,有效提高了钙镁复合吸附剂的抗烧结特性,因此钙镁复合吸附剂循环反应过程中具有高捕集CO₂活性。以Ca(OH)₂作为钙源时,燃烧合成过程中Ca和Mg均匀同时析出,分散更加均匀,有效避免了CaCO₃作为钙源时Mg的团聚问题,因此得到的钙镁复合吸附剂循环捕集CO₂性能最优。最佳的Ca/Mg摩尔比为(8∶2)~(7.5∶2.5)。本研究以不可溶钙源制备得到高活性钙镁复合吸附剂,有效控制了吸附剂成本,具有更好的工程应用前景。     

成型方法对Ni-CaO双功能材料CO2吸附与催化转化一体化性能的影响

CO₂捕集-转化一体化工艺是实现碳中和的关键负排放技术,而兼具吸附和催化活性的双功能材料(DFMs)构筑是关键。采用挤压法、挤压滚圆法和压片法构筑了柱状、球形和片状的Ni-CaO DFMs,探究了成型方法对Ni-CaO DFMs的结构和CO₂吸附-催化一体化性能的影响。研究发现,成型方法会破坏Ni-CaO DFMs的孔隙结构,对其CO₂体相扩散和吸附产生不利影响。在首次循环中,Ni-CaO粉体在650℃和体积分数为10%CO₂气氛下的吸附容量高达11.77 mmol CO₂/g,在体积分数为5%H₂气氛下原位逆水煤气变换的CO产量达4.81 mmol CO/g;而成型Ni-CaO DFMs的CO₂吸附容量降至9.67～10.33 mmol CO₂/g,CO₂催化转化率得到明显提升。成型方法有利于提升Ni-CaO DFMs的CO₂吸附循环稳定性。在12次循环后,未成型Ni...     

Application of engineered natural ores to intermediate- and high-temperature CO2 capture and conversion

Integrated CO₂ capture and conversion (ICCC) is a promising technology aiming at converting waste CO₂ to fuels and high value-added chemicals. Herein, we described a proof-of-concept study of applying engineered natural ores (dolomite, magnesite, and limestone) to two different ICCC processes—intermediate-temperature ICCC for CH₄ production (350–400°C) and high-temperature ICCC for syngas production (650–700°C). In the former process, a MgO-based CO₂ sorbent prepared from dolomite and magnesite was combined with a methanation catalyst in a dual-bed configuration, whereby a CH₄ yield of 7.1–7.3 mmol/g can be stably achieved per cycle over 20 consecutive ICCC cycles. In the latter process, a CaO-based sorbent derived from dolomite and limestone was coupled with a reforming catalyst also in a dual-bed mode, whereby syngas with a H₂/CO ratio of 0.9–1.0 can be produced over 20 cycles. This study will expand the application of natural ores in CO₂ emission reduction.     

Efficient MgO-doped CaO sorbent pellets for high temperature CO2 capture

Novel MgO-doped CaO sorbent pellets were prepared by gel-casting and wet impregnation. The effect of Na⁺ and MgO on the structure and CO₂ adsorption performance of CaO sorbent pellets was elucidated. MgO-doped CaO sorbent pellets with the diameter range of 0.5-1.5 mm exhibited an excellent capacity for CO₂ adsorption and adsorption rate due to the homogeneous dispersion of MgO in the sorbent pellets and its effects on the physical structure of sorbents. The results show that MgO can effectively inhibit the sintering of CaO and retain the adsorption capacity of sorbents during multiple adsorption-desorption cycles. The presence of mesopores and macropores resulted in appreciable change of volume from CaO (16.7 cm³∙mol⁻¹) to CaCO₃ (36.9 cm³∙mol⁻¹) over repeated operation cycles. Ca2Mg1 sorbent pellets exhibited favorable CO₂ capture capacity (9.49 mmol∙g⁻¹), average adsorption rate (0.32 mmol∙g⁻¹∙min⁻¹) and conversion rate of CaO (74.83%) after 30 cycles.     

CO2 conversion through combined steam and CO2 reforming of methane reactions over Ni and Co catalysts

Ni‐Co bimetallic and Ni or Co monometallic catalysts prepared for CO₂ reforming of methane were tested with the stimulated biogas containing steam, CO₂, CH₄, H₂, and CO. A mix of the prepared CO₂ reforming catalyst and a commercial steam reforming catalyst was used in hopes of maximizing the CO₂ conversion. Both CO₂ reforming and steam reforming of CH₄ occurred over the prepared Ni‐Co bimetallic and Ni or Co monometallic catalysts when the feed contained steam. However, CO₂ reforming did not occur on the commercial steam reforming catalyst. There was a critical steam content limit above which the catalyst facilitated no more CO₂ conversion but net CO₂ production for steam reforming and water‐gas shift became the dominant reactions in the system. The Ni‐Co bimetallic catalyst can convert more than 70% of CO₂ in a biogas feed that contains ~33 mol% of CH₄, 21.5 mol% of CO₂, 12 mol% of H₂O, 3.5 mol% of H₂, and 30 mol% of N₂. The H₂/CO ratio of the produced syngas was in the range of 1.8‐2. X‐ray absorption spectroscopy of the spent catalysts revealed that the metallic sites of Ni‐Co bimetallic, Ni and Co monometallic catalysts after the steam reforming of methane reaction with equimolar feed (CH₄:H₂O:N₂ = 1:1:1) experienced severe oxidation, which led to the catalytic deactivation.     

Simultaneous CO2 capture and thermochemical heat storage by modified carbide slag in coupled calcium looping and CaO/Ca(OH)2 cycles

The simultaneous CO_2 capture and heat storage performances of the modified carbide slag with by-product of biodiesel were investigated in the process coupled calcium looping and CaO/Ca(OH)_2 thermochemical heat storage using air as the heat transfer fluid. The modified carbide slag with by-product of biodiesel exhibits superior CO_2 capture and heat storage capacities in the coupled calcium looping and heat storage cycles. The hydration conversion and heat storage density of the modified carbide slag after 30 heat storage cycles are 0.65 mol·mol~(-1) and 1.14 GJ·t~(-1), respectively, which are 1.6 times as high as those of calcined carbide slag. The negative effect of CO_2 in air as the heat storage fluid on the heat storage capacity of the modified carbide slag is overcome by introducing CO_2 capture cycles. In addition, the CO_2 capture reactivity of the modified carbide slag after the multiple calcium looping cycles is enhanced by the introduction of heat storage cycles. By introducing 10 heat storage cycles after the 10 th and 15 th CO_2 capture cycles, the CO_2 capture capacities of the modified carbide slag are subsequently improved by 32%and 43%, respectively. The porous and loose structure of modified carbide slag reduces the diffusion resistances of CO_2 and steam in the material in the coupled process. The formed CaCO_3 in the modified carbide slag as a result of air as the heat transfer fluid in heat storage cycles decomposes to regenerate CaO in calcium looping cycles, which improves heat storage capacity. Therefore, the modified carbide slag with by-product of biodiesel seems promising in the coupled calcium looping and CaO/Ca(OH)_2 heat storage cycles.     

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。

Chemical solvent in chemical solvent: A class of hybrid materials for effective capture of CO2

Amino acid ionic liquids (AAILs) are chemical solvents with high reactivity to CO₂. However, they suffer from drastic increase in viscosity on the reaction with CO₂, which significantly limits their application in the industrial capture of CO₂. In this work, 1‐ethyl‐3‐methylimidazolium acetate ([emim][Ac]) which also exhibits chemical affinity to CO₂ but low viscosity, and its viscosity does not increase drastically after CO₂ absorption, was proposed as the diluent for AAILs to fabricate hybrid materials. The AAIL+[emim][Ac] hybrids were found to display enhanced kinetics for CO₂ absorption, and their viscosity increase after CO₂ absorption are much less significant than pure AAILs. More importantly, owing to the fact that [emim][Ac] itself can absorb large amount of CO₂, the AAIL+[emim][Ac] hybrids still have high absolute capacities of CO₂. Such hybrid materials consisting of a chemical solvent plus another chemical solvent are believed to be a class of effective absorbents for CO₂ capture. © 2017 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 64: 632–639, 2018     

Effect of the Ni size on CH4/CO2 reforming over Ni/MgO catalyst: A DFT study

Carbon deposition is sensitive to the metal particle sizes of supported Ni catalysts in CH4/CO2 reforming.To explore the reason of this phenomenon,Ni4,Ni8,and Ni12 which reflect the different cluster thicknesses supported on the MgO(100) slabs,have been employed to simulate Ni/MgO catalysts,and the reaction pathways of CH4/CO2 reforming on Nix/MgO(100) models are investigated by density functional theory.The reforming mechanisms of CH4/CO2 on different Nix/MgO(100) indicate the energy barriers of CH4 dissociated adsorption,CH dissociation,and C oxidation three factors are all declining with the decrease of the Ni cluster sizes.The Hirshfeld charges analyses of three steps as described above show only Ni atoms in bottom two layers can obtain electrons from the MgO supporters,and the main electron transfer occurs between adsorbed species and their directly contacted Ni atoms.Due to more electron-rich Ni atoms in contact with the MgO supporters,the Ni/MgO catalysts with small Ni particles have a strong metal particle size effect and lead to its better catalytic activity.     

K/Ni/β-Mo2C: A highly active and selective catalyst for higher alcohols synthesis from CO hydrogenation

Nickel and potassium promoted β-Mo₂C catalysts were prepared for CO hydrogenation to higher alcohols synthesis. The results revealed that β-Mo₂C produced mainly hydrocarbons, but the addition of potassium resulted in a remarkable selectivity shift from hydrocarbons to alcohols over β-Mo₂C. Moreover, it was found that potassium enhanced the ability of chain propagation of β-Mo₂C catalyst and led to a higher selectivity to C₂⁺OH. The addition of nickel further enhanced higher alcohols synthesis, which showed the optimum at 1/8–1/6 of Ni/Mo molar ratios. The characterization suggested that there might be a synergistic effect of potassium and nickel on β-Mo₂C, which favored the alcohols synthesis. The production of alcohols appeared to be relevant to the presence of Mo⁴⁺ species, whereas the formation of hydrocarbons was closely associated with Mo²⁺ and/or Mo⁰ species on the surface of β-Mo₂C-based catalysts.     

Integrated adsorption and absorption process for post-combustion CO2 capture

This study explored the feasibility of integrating an adsorption and solvent scrubbing process for post-combustion CO₂ capture from a coal-fired power plant. This integrated process has two stages: the first is a vacuum swing adsorption (VSA) process using activated carbon as the adsorbent, and the second stage is a solvent scrubber/stripper system using monoethanolamine (30 wt-%) as the solvent. The results showed that the adsorption process could enrich CO₂ in the flue gas from 12 to 50 mol-% with a CO₂ recovery of >90%, and the concentrated CO₂ stream fed to the solvent scrubber had a significantly lower volumetric flowrate. The increased CO₂ concentration and reduced feed flow to the absorption section resulted in significant reduction in the diameter of the solvent absorber, bringing the size of the absorber from uneconomically large to readily achievable domain. In addition, the VSA process could also remove most of the oxygen initially existed in the feed gas, alleviating the downstream corrosion and degradation problems in the absorption section. The findings in this work will reduce the technical risks associated with the state-of-the art solvent absorption technology for CO₂ capture and thus accelerate the deployment of such technologies to reduce carbon emissions.

Optimization-based identification of CO2 capture and utilization processing paths for life cycle greenhouse gas reduction and economic benefits

This paper introduces a mathematical formulation to identify promising CO₂ capture and utilization (CCU) processing paths and assess their production rates by solving an optimization problem. The problem is cast as a multi-objective one by simultaneously maximizing a net profit and life cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction. Three case studies are illustrated using an exemplary CCU processing network. The results indicate the optimal solution is greatly influenced by the scale of CO₂ emission source, market demand, and hydrogen availability. Moreover, with the current system of measuring the GHG reduction regarding a business-as-usual level, if the aim is to achieve a GHG reduction within a national boundary, the question of whether CCU plants producing a product of same functionality through conventional means, which the CO₂-based product can replace, exists in the country can come into consideration. This systematic identification will assist decision-making regarding future R&D investment and construction of large-scale CCU plants.
