Fundamental research on gas–solid reaction between CO{sub 2} and Li{sub 2}CuO{sub 2} linking application for solid CO{sub 2} absorbent
We compared reactivity between CO{sub 2} and Li{sub 2}CuO{sub 2} with that between CO{sub 2} and Li{sub 4}SiO{sub 4} by using XRD, SEM observation, and thermogravimetry in order to study fundamentally a potential of Li{sub 2}CuO{sub 2} oxide for application to solid CO{sub 2} absorbents. The CO{sub 2} absorption ability of Li{sub 2}CuO{sub 2} was examined by measuring rate constants for the gas–solid reaction between perfectly single-phase Li{sub 2}CuO{sub 2} and CO{sub 2} at various temperatures in 100 vol% CO{sub 2} atmosphere using the rate theory with thermogravimetry using rapid heating. The measured rate constants were compared with those reported previously for Li{sub 4}SiO{sub 4} at various temperatures. Almost no difference was found between these rate constants of Li{sub 2}CuO{sub 2} and Li{sub 4}SiO{sub 4} at temperatures less than 660 °C, but at temperatures higher than 670 °C, the rate constants of Li{sub 2}CuO{sub 2} were greater than those of Li{sub 4}SiO{sub 4}. These results demonstrate that Li{sub 2}CuO{sub 2} can outstrip the ability of Li{sub 4}SiO{sub 4} to absorb CO{sub 2}. Moreover, different from Li{sub 4}SiO{sub 4}, the CO{sub 2} absorption ability of Li{sub 2}CuO{sub 2} decays only slightly, even if the atmospheric CO{sub 2} concentration decreases. -- Graphical abstract: Surface changes of Li{sub 2}CuO{sub 2} and Li{sub 4}SiO{sub 4} particles by progression of the gas–solid reactions between CO{sub 2} and these oxides. Highlights: • The CO{sub 2} absorption ability of perfect single-phase Li{sub 2}CuO{sub 2} is reported. • Results show that Li{sub 2}CuO{sub 2} can outstrip the Li{sub 4}SiO{sub 4} ability to absorb CO{sub 2}. • The oxide particle CO{sub 2} absorption ability is size- and surface-state-dependent.
