Preliminary Assessment of Sorption Capacity on Solid CO2-Sorbents at Conditions for Sorption-Enhanced Processes

This work aims to assess solid sorbent capacity to operate CO2 capture under industrial conditions relevant to biogas/bio-syngas upgrading systems to green H2 and food-grade CO2 through Sorption-Enhanced Water Gas Shift (SEWGS) technologies. The pursued degree of innovation is the process intensific...

description This work aims to assess solid sorbent capacity to operate CO2 capture under industrial conditions relevant to biogas/bio-syngas upgrading systems to green H2 and food-grade CO2 through Sorption-Enhanced Water Gas Shift (SEWGS) technologies. The pursued degree of innovation is the process intensification to remove CO2 in a more sustainable industrial practice reducing the CO2 footprint of a potential H2 production process. A lab-scale apparatus is appropriately designed and built to operate at relevant industrial scale conditions. The core of the system is a fixed-bed reactor equipped with mass flow meters/controllers and online gas analyzers. CO2 capture experiments were carried out to investigate the effect of pressure (1.0-1.4 MPa) on different commercial and synthesized solid sorbent materials (hydrotalcite-like compounds). The best sorbent is a commercial hydrotalcite impregnated with 20 wt% of K2CO3, with an average sorption capacity of 0.85 mmolCO2/gad at 1.4 MPa and 623 K. The explored conditions are compatible with an industrial operation where syngas is available at low-to-moderate pressure.
