Abstract
![]()
The sulfation phenomena
of raw meal materials involved in calcium
looping (CaL) applications to capture CO2 from cement plants
are investigated. The effects on sulfur capture capacity and reaction
rates of different raw meals, temperatures, SO2 concentration,
and degree of belite conversions have been investigated using a thermogravimetric
analyzer. SO2 is shown to react with both free CaO and
CaO in belite. An apparent reaction order of 0.8 and activation energies
of 20.9 and 34.7 kJ/mol were estimated for cases with no-belite and
belite formations, respectively. Results indicate that CaL systems
for CO2 capture will also remove SO2 emissions
in cement plants.

Abstract
Carbon dioxide capture and mitigation form a key part of the technological response to combat climate change and reduce CO2 emissions. Solid materials capable of reversibly absorbing CO2 have been the focus of intense research for the past two decades, with promising stability and low energy costs to implement and operate compared to the more widely used liquid amines. In this review, we explore the fundamental aspects underpinning solid CO2 sorbents based on alkali and alkaline earth metal oxides operating at medium to high temperature: how their structure, chemical composition, and morphology impact their performance and long-term use. Various optimization strategies are outlined to improve upon the most promising materials, and we combine recent advances across disparate scientific disciplines, including materials discovery, synthesis, and in situ characterization, to present a coherent understanding of the mechanisms of CO2 absorption both at surfaces and within solid materials.

Abstract
The calcium looping CO2 capture process, CaL, represents a promising option for the decarbonisation of cement plants, due to the intrinsic benefit of using the spent CO2 sorbent as a feedstock for the plant.

Abstract
The use of cement raw meals as sorbent precursors for CO2 capture can reinforce the synergies between the cement production process and calcium looping CO2 capture technology. In this work, we measure the CO2-carrying capacity of different calcined samples of a particular marl, which were obtained under very different calcination conditions and setups (a thermogravimetric analyzer, a drop tube furnace, and an industrial calciner). We find that the reactivity toward CO2 of these calcined materials displays a strong sensitivity to the calcination conditions, in particular to calcination time. A pronounced competition between the belite (Ca2SiO4) formation reaction and the formation of free CaO needed for CO2 capture is detected. As the calcination of the raw meal approaches flash conditions (i.e., >90% calcination conversion in less than 10 s), the belite formation is shown to be minimized, leading to sorbents with CO2-carrying capacities of approximately 0.4 mol CO2/mol CaO.
