Carbon Dioxide Adsorption and Desorption Study Using Bimetallic Calcium Oxide Impregnated on Iron (III) Oxide

Bimetal adsorbent system of calcium oxide impregnated on iron (III) oxide were evaluated as a potential source of basic sites for CO2 capture. The adsorbents were prepared by impregnation method were calcined at 200 until 600 °C. Several characterizations were carried out using XRD, BET and CO2-TPD analysis. The CaO loading increased the basicity of the adsorbent significantly enhance the CO2 chemisorption. Furthermore, it drastically reduced the desorption temperature to 310-490 °C, which is important in chemisorption aspect. The CaO/Fe2O3200 which calcined at 200 °C was found to be most efficient. The CO2 chemisorption (81.29 mg CO2/g adsorbent) was contributed most compared to physisorption (4.64 mg CO2/g adsorbent).

Serapan karbon dioksida oleh tetradesilamina disokong pada silika gel

Carbon dioxide emissions generated from fossil fuel-based power plants and other industries has reached 400 ppm in atmosphere. This negatively impact the environment, infrastructures and wildlife in particular. A lot of efforts are needed to produce CO2 gas sorbent in order to reduce high CO2 concentration. Therefore, porous silica gel (SG) is modified with amine compound for carbon dioxide capture. Calcinated silica gel functionalized with tetradecylamine (TDA) using wet impregnation has been developed as a porous media. The prepared sorbents is characterized by N2 physisorption technique Brunauer-Emmet-Teller analysis (BET). Significant changes in physical properties of the sorbents further ascertained the dispersion of TDA on the internal channels and external surface of the SG. Reactivity of porous sorbent towards CO2 was evaluated using isothermal CO2 adsorption desorption technique. This study shows 65TDA/SG enable to adsorb CO2 in the highest capacity which is 23.22 cm3CO2per gram sorbent. Moreover, CO2 capture consists of two type sorption which are physisorption and chemisorption. 55TDA/SG is the best sorbent in capturing CO 2by chemisorption (19.62 cm3CO2per gram adsorbent).

Studies of Fe Metal Carburization by Carbon Monoxide Using XRD and TPR Techniques

This study was undertaken to investigate the effect of carburization of metallic Fe by (20%,v/v) carbon monoxide (CO). Carburization of Fe by carbon monoxide was examined by using temperature-programmed reduction (TPR), X-Ray powder diffractometry (XRD) and Carbon Hydrogen Nitrogen Sulfur (CHNS) technique. Based on a thermodynamic calculation, the free energy Gibb’s value to produce carbon is-8.08 kcal/mol which are favorable. However, production of iron carbide from the same reaction, the free energy Gibb’s value is +9.24 kcal/mol which is not feasible. From the XRD results, shows that after carburization of Fe, the peak appears only for Fe but there is a broad peak between 20 – 30°. The peak might be indicated as carbon in amorphous form. This finding is supported by the percent of carbon content in CHNS analysis which are increasing when the temperature is increased. This shows that after carburization the carbon content is increasing with increasing in temperature due to carbon deposited on metallic iron. In this research, three different temperatures were used which are 300°C, 500°C and 700°C.

Characterizations and Application of Supported Ionic Liquid [bmim][CF3SO3]/SiO2 in CO2 Capture

Supported ionic liquid (IL) [bmim][CF3SO3] on SiO2 was prepared, characterized and its potential evaluated for CO2 capture via adsorption and desorption studies using gas adsorption analyzer. The physical and chemical properties were determined using N2 adsorption/desorption and CO2-TPD analysis. The increasing IL loading caused a drastic decrease in the surface area as well as pore volume due to the confinement of IL within the micropore and mesopore area. However, the increasing IL loading increased the basicity of the sorbent which significantly enhanced CO2 chemisorption. Supported [bmim][CF3SO3] on SiO2 revealed the physical and chemical adsorption of CO2 and resulted in a remarkable CO2 adsorption capacity at atmospheric pressure and room temperature (66.7 mg CO2/gadsorbent) which has great potential in industrial applications.

XRD and CO2 Adsorption Studies of Modified Silica Gel with Octadecylamine

Porous surface of silica gel (SG) have been modified with long and straight chain fatty amine compounds (octadecylamine, ODA) via wet impregnation process. SG was undergo heat treatment with various temperature which are 100, 200, 400 and 600 °C before continuing with impregnation process. Characterization by XRD of the treated samples were showed no significant different in their diffractograms. The best temperature for heat treatment was 600 °C and it was referred to the ability of the SG600 type adsorbents in adsorbing CO2 resulted from adsorption desorption isotherm of CO2. The 5 and 35 wt. % of ODA supported on the SG (ODA/SG600) was further characterized using XRD analysis which displayed the increasing intensity of crystalline ODA with higher percent amine loaded and shifting of the several crystalline peak of ODA verified the interaction of SG600-ODA. These further strengthen the prevailing dispersion of ODA on the surface of SG600.

CO2 capture on NiO supported imidazolium-based ionic liquid

CO2 capture on NiO supported imidazolium-based ionic liquid, NiO/[emim][HSO4]/SiO2 as an adsorbent was investigated using gas adsorption analyzer and physicochemical properties of the adsorbent were characterized using X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), surface area analyzer (BET method) and temperature-program-desorption analysis (TPD). Immobilization of ionic liquid on silica, [emim][HSO4]/SiO2 slightly decreased the surface area compared to bare silica from 266 to 256 m2/g due to the pore blocking by the confinement of IL in SiO2 pore. Interestingly, introduction of NiO on supported ionic liquid, NiO/[emim][HSO4]/SiO2 was increased the surface area as well as pore volume from 256 to 356 m2/g and 0.14 to 0.38 cm3/g, respectively. The enhancement of surface area and pore volume was significantly increased the CO2 adsorption performance with capacity of 48.8 mg CO2/g adsorbent compared to [emim][HSO4]/SiO2 27.3 mg CO2/g adsorbent).

Iron oxide (α-Fe2O3) as adsorbent was no longer new in CO2 adsorption studies. However, its contributions in the industry still in limited wherein lack of convincing results of quantifying of adsorbed CO2. This work presents an analysis for α-Fe2O3 was prepared by simple mixing method with identified the adsorption capacity that applied in CO2 capture. The synthesized α-Fe2O3 from different concentrations of precursor were analyzed using XRD, N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms with BET and BJH method, TEM, FTIR, CO2 adsorption at 298 K, CO2-TPD and TGA-DTG. It was noted that 2M concentration of precursor (s2M) with highest crystallite peaks shows highest surface area among all samples which indicative of well generated pores. The different concentration of precursor was found generated more porosity rather than particle size according to TEM micrograph. The sphere shape crystallite particle with high surface area (50.5 m2/g) and porosity were desirable properties in CO2 adsorption. Consequently, physically adsorbed CO2 with adsorption at 298 K was highest with adsorption capacity of at 17.0 mgCO2/gadsorbent. Finally, chemically adsorbed CO2 was successfully identified from CO2–TPD analysis with adsorption capacity of 0.19 mgCO2/gadsorbent and 1.31 mgCO2/gadsorbent at maximum desorption temperature of 375 °C and 749 °C respectively.
