Adsorption of Trace Elements and Sulfur Dioxide on Calcium-Based Sorbents
نویسنده
چکیده
With the reduction of natural gas and petroleum sources and subsequent increases in their costs, energy from coal is becoming increasingly popular. However, coal is not a clean technology, so with this demand comes a demand to make this energy source more environmentally friendly. Trace elements, such as mercury, arsenic, and selenium, are highly volatile and are known to escape into the atmosphere from coal combustion flue gas.

Experimental Examination of Sulfur Dioxide Dry Removal from a Mixture of Gases by Calcium Oxide, Calcium Carbonate and Dolomite
This paper refers to an experiment of SO2 absorption to the three different sorbents: calcium-oxide (CaO), calcium-carbonate (CaCO3) and dolomite (CaMg(CO3)2). In the reactor under the condition of oxidation atmosphere with the mass of sorbent (sample) of 100 g with fractional composition of 500-700µm, the gas temperatur...
متن کاملAdsorption of Ammonia on Regenerable Carbon Sorbents
Results are presented on the development of reversible sorbents for the combined carbon dioxide, moisture, and trace-contaminant (TC) removal for use in Extravehicular Activities (EVAs), and more specifically in the Primary Life Support System (PLSS). The currently available life support systems use separate units for carbon dioxide, trace contaminants, and moisture control, and the long-term o...
متن کاملAIChE Letter: Separations: Materials, Devices and Processes Graphene and Other Carbon Sorbents for Selective Adsorption of Thiophene from Liquid Fuel
Four types of carbons (activated carbon, Maxsorb superactivated carbon, mesoporous templated carbon CMK-3, and graphene) were investigated as selective sorbents for adsorption of thiophene from its solution in n-octane. Graphene showed clearly the highest sulfur capacity. The relative sulfur capacities correlated well with the relative heats of adsorption. The carbene-type zigzag edge sites and...

Density-functional theory is used to investigate sulfur dioxide physisorption inside and outside of single-wall carbon nanotube of (5,0) and (5,5). This study is conducted at B3LYP/6-31G* level of theory. Sulfur dioxide molecule is studied with axis oriented parallel or perpendicular to the nanotube wall. Both internal and external adsorption on nanotubes is increased with the angle of interact...
