Effective Capture of Carbon Dioxide Using Hydrated Sodium Carbonate Powders
نویسندگان
چکیده
The emission of CO₂ has been considered a major cause of greenhouse effects and global warming. The current CO₂ capture approaches have their own advantages and weaknesses. We found that free-flowing hydrated sodium carbonate (Na₂CO₃) powders with 30 wt % water can achieve a very high CO₂ sorption capacity of 282 mg/g within 60 min and fast CO₂ uptake (90% saturation uptake within 16 min). The results suggest that the alkaline solution resulting from the dissolution of partial Na₂CO₃ can freely attach onto the hydrated Na₂CO₃ particles, which provides an excellent gas-liquid interface for CO₂ capture, leading to significantly enhanced CO₂ sorption capacity and kinetics.

World Resource Review Vol. 16 No.2 CAPTURING CARBON DIOXIDE DIRECTLY FROM THE ATMOSPHERE
The increasing concern over rising CO2 levels in the atmosphere and their potential climate effects is fuelling research aimed at carbon management. One area of research focuses on capturing the CO2 after combustion and sequestering it underground. Capture schemes would operate at the site of generation taking advantage of the elevated concentrations of CO2 in the effluent. Here, however, we pr...

متن کاملLow-energy sodium hydroxide recovery for CO2 capture from atmospheric air—Thermodynamic analysis
To reduce the risks of climate change, atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases must be lowered. Direct capture of CO2 from ambient air, ‘‘air capture’’, might be one of the few methods capable of systematically managing dispersed emissions. The most commonly proposed method for air capture is a wet scrubbing technique which absorbs CO2 in an alkaline absorbent, i.e. sodium hydroxide prod...

An electrochemical cell comprising a novel dual-component graphite and Earth-crust abundant metal anode, a hydrogen producing cathode and an aqueous sodium chloride electrolyte was constructed and used for carbon dioxide mineralisation. Under an atmosphere of 5 % carbon dioxide in nitrogen, the cell exhibited both capacitive and oxidative electrochemistry at the anode. The graphite acted as a s...
متن کاملSodium-carbonate co-substituted hydroxyapatite ceramics
Powders of sodium-carbonate co-substituted hydroxyapatite, having sodium content in the range of 0.25–1.5 wt.% with a 0.25 wt.% step, were prepared by a precipitation-solid state reaction route. Compacts of the powders were sintered in a CO2 flow (4 mL/min) at 1100 °C for 2 h. The sintered ceramics contained sodium and carbonate ions in the ranges of 0–1.5 wt.% and 1.3–6 wt.%, respectively, whi...
