[PMID: 37130879 PMCID: PMC10154391 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-34360-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/11/2022] [Accepted: 04/28/2023] [Indexed: 05/04/2023] Open
Abstract
In this work, the potential of monohydrate Lithium hydroxide (LiOH) as a high capacity adsorbent for CO2 capture was investigated experimentally and theoretically. The effects of operating parameters, including temperature, pressure, LiOH particle size and LiOH loading, on the CO2 capture in a fixed-bed reactor have been experimentally explored using response surface methodology (RSM) based on central composite design. The optimum conditions obtained by the RSM for temperature, pressure, mesh and maximum adsorption capacity were calculated as 333 K, 4.72 bar, 200 micron and 559.39 mg/g, respectively. The experiments were evaluated using isotherm, kinetic and thermodynamic modeling. Isotherm modeling showed that Hill model could deliver a perfect fit to the experimental data, based on the closeness of the R2-value to unity. The kinetics models showed that the process was chemical adsorption and obeyed the second order model. In addition, thermodynamic analysis results showed that the CO2 adsorption was spontaneous and exothermic in nature. In addition, based on the density functional theory, we investigated the chemical stability of LiOH atomic clusters and examined the effects of LiOH nanonization on the physical attraction of carbon dioxide.

[PMID: 36903270 PMCID: PMC10003791 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28052024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2023] [Revised: 02/17/2023] [Accepted: 02/19/2023] [Indexed: 02/25/2023] Open
Abstract
Lithium-air batteries (LABs) have attracted extensive attention due to their ultra-high energy density. At present, most LABs are operated in pure oxygen (O2) since carbon dioxide (CO2) under ambient air will participate in the battery reaction and generate an irreversible by-product of lithium carbonate (Li2CO3), which will seriously affect the performance of the battery. Here, to solve this problem, we propose to prepare a CO2 capture membrane (CCM) by loading activated carbon encapsulated with lithium hydroxide (LiOH@AC) onto activated carbon fiber felt (ACFF). The effect of the LiOH@AC loading amount on ACFF has been carefully investigated, and CCM has an ultra-high CO2 adsorption performance (137 cm3 g-1) and excellent O2 transmission performance by loading 80 wt% LiOH@AC onto ACFF. The optimized CCM is further applied as a paster on the outside of the LAB. As a result, the specific capacity performance of LAB displays a sharp increase from 27,948 to 36,252 mAh g-1, and the cycle time is extended from 220 h to 310 h operating in a 4% CO2 concentration environment. The concept of carbon capture paster opens a simple and direct way for LABs operating in the atmosphere.

Abstract
In recent years, global warming has become an important topic of public concern. As one of the most promising carbon capture technologies, solid amine adsorbents have received a lot of attention because of their high adsorption capacity, excellent selectivity, and low energy cost, which is committed to sustainable development. The preparation methods and support materials can influence the thermal stability and adsorption capacity of solid amine adsorbents. As a supporting material, it needs to meet the requirements of high pore volume and abundant hydroxyl groups. Industrial and biomass waste are expected to be a novel and cheap raw material source, contributing both carbon dioxide capture and waste recycling. The applied range of solid amine adsorbents has been widened from flue gas to biogas and ambient air, which require different research focuses, including strengthening the selectivity of CO2 to CH4 or separating CO2 under the condition of the dilute concentration. Several kinetic or isotherm models have been adopted to describe the adsorption process of solid amine adsorbents, which select the pseudo-first order model, pseudo-second order model, and Langmuir isotherm model most commonly. Besides searching for novel materials from solid waste and widening the applicable gases, developing the dynamic adsorption and three-dimensional models can also be a promising direction to accelerate the development of this technology. The review has combed through the recent development and covered the shortages of previous review papers, expected to promote the industrial application of solid amine adsorbents.

Post combustion CO 2 capture with calcium and lithium hydroxide. Sci Rep 2022; 12:10518. [PMID: 35732859 PMCID: PMC9218122 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-14235-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2022] [Accepted: 06/03/2022] [Indexed: 11/08/2022] Open
Abstract
A small-scale plant was built for measuring the ability of solid sorbents towards the capture of carbon dioxide (CO2) in exhaust flue gas from an internal combustion engine. The investigated sorbents were calcium and lithium hydroxides. Both sorbents are low cost and used in the breathing gas purification systems. The carbonation capacity of each sorbent was measured for different sorbent granulometry (pellets and powder), different temperature (from ambient up to 300 °C), gas space velocity, moisture content and chemical composition of the gaseous stream. The aim was, in fact, to expose the sorbents to a gas stream with chemical and physical parameters close to those at the exhaust of an internal combustion engine. Carbonation capacity was measured with a double technique: on-line by continuously CO2 measurement with a non-dispersive infrared analyzer and off-line by using scanning electron microscopy on carbonated sorbents. Experimental results showed good CO2 uptake capacity of calcium hydroxide at low temperature (between 20 and 150 °C). Performance improvements came from the fine granulometry due to the increased exposed surface area; moreover, the presence of the moisture in gas stream also enhanced CO2 capture. The presence of sulphur dioxide and nitric oxide, instead, greatly decreased the carbonation capacity of sorbents.

Abstract
The objectives of the research were to develop synthesis and estimation of each factor on carbon dioxide adsorption of advanced functional zeolite NaY material derived from bagasse ash and rice husk ash with different crystallization temperatures and weight percentages of zinc by the ion exchange method. The adsorbents were tested in a packed bed reactor at different temperatures and flow rates of carbon dioxide. The Minitab program was used to estimate the effects of each factor on carbon dioxide adsorption properties. The results showed that extracted silicon dioxide from bagasse ash and rice husk ash could be successfully used as raw material for zeolite NaY synthesis with a crystallization temperature of 298.15 K. The zeolite NaY crystalline structure was well-preserved after ion exchange. The highest capacity of carbon dioxide adsorption was at 10.33 mmol/g with zeolite 5B298-373-1. The results of the Minitab program showed that the carbon dioxide adsorption decreased with increasing crystallization temperature and carbon dioxide flow rate parameters. However, the increased weight percentage of zinc loading on zeolite NaY resulted in better carbon dioxide adsorption. The factors of the types of adsorbents and adsorption temperature showed interaction with each other.

Abstract
Due to the global menace caused by carbon emissions from environmental, anthropogenic, and industrial processes, it has become expedient to consider the use of systems, with high trapping potentials for these carbon-based compounds. Several prior studies have considered the use of amines, activated carbon, and other solid adsorbents. Advances in carbon capture research have led to the use of ionic liquids, enzyme-based systems, microbial filters, membranes, and metal-organic frameworks in capturing CO2. Therefore, it is common knowledge that some of these systems have their lapses, which then informs the need to prioritize and optimize their synthetic routes for optimum efficiency. Some authors have also argued about the need to consider the use of hybrid systems, which offer several characteristics that in turn give synergistic effects/properties that are better compared to those of the individual components that make up the composites. For instance, some membranes are hydrophobic in nature, which makes them unsuitable for carbon capture operations; hence, it is necessary to consider modifying properties such as thermal stability, chemical stability, permeability, nature of the raw/starting material, thickness, durability, and surface area which can enhance the performance of these systems. In this review, previous and recent advances in carbon capture systems and sequestration technologies are discussed, while some recommendations and future prospects in innovative technologies are also highlighted.

Abstract
For air pollution control in confined space such as submarine and spacecraft, copper-manganese-cerium ternary oxide catalysts coupled with KOH sorbent were synthesized through the wet impregnation method, solid-state impregnation method A and B, and wet/solid-state impregnation method. The samples were tested for CO and CO2 removal dynamically and isothermally from 30 °C to 150 °C using two fixed bed reactors, and then characterized by XRD, nitrogen adsorption and desorption, and FE-SEM/EDS. The results showed that all the coupled CuMnCe/KOHs were able to catalyze CO and capture the produced CO2 in situ. While the coupling treatments affected the CO oxidation and CO2 absorption performance of the samples significantly and differently. Among all samples, CuMnCe/KOH-WSI with the large KOH bulk phase exhibited the outstanding CO catalytic activity and CO2 sorption efficiency, higher than the uncoupled CuMnCe/KOH. While for CuMnCe/KOH-WI and CuMnCe/KOH-SI-I samples demonstrating high-dispersed KOH species in the catalyst, the addition of the sorbent could inhibit the catalyst activity due to the occupation of the surface site and pore structure. Furtherly, the effect of the temperature was varied for CO conversion and CO2 capture performances of the sample, while they achieved an optimization balance at 150 °C for CuMnCe/KOH-WSI.
