Abstract
High-temperature solid adsorbent Li4SiO4 has received broad attention due to its high theoretical adsorption capacity, high regeneration capacity, and wide range of raw materials for preparation. In this paper, a Li4SiO4 adsorbent was prepared by MCM-48 as the silica precursor and modified by doping with metal ions (Ca2+ and Na+) for high-temperature capture of low-concentration CO2. The results showed that the surface of the Ca-doped (or Na-doped) Li4SiO4 adsorbent developed some particles that are primarily composed by Li2CaSiO4 (or Li3NaSiO4). Furthermore, the grains of the adsorbents became finer, effectively increasing the specific surface area and enhancing adsorption performance. Under 15 vol% CO2, the maximum CO2 adsorption was 25.63 wt% and 32.86 wt% when the Ca2+ doping amount was 0.06 and the Na+ doping amount was 0.12, respectively. These values were both higher than the adsorption capacity before the metal ion doping. After 10 adsorption/desorption cycles, the adsorption capacity of Na-doped Li4SiO4 increased by 9.68 wt%, while that of Ca-doped Li4SiO4 decreased by 7.98 wt%. This difference could be attributed to the easy sintering of the Ca-containing adsorbent. Furthermore, a biexponential model was used to fit the CO2 adsorption curve of the adsorbent in order to study the adsorption kinetics. Compared to the conventional Li4SiO4, the Ca/Na-doped adsorbent offers several advantages, such as a high CO2 adsorption capacity and stable cycling ability.
