Sodium cobaltate (NaCoO2) was analyzed for CO2 cyclic carbonation-decarbonation process at low temperatures (30–80 ºC) with relative humidity (RH) values between 0 and 80 %, using water vapor as catalytic intermediate. The presence of H2O clearly enhanced the CO2 capture at T < 100 °C, compared to dry conditions, where the amount of CO2 captured increased as a function of relative humidity. These improvements were attributed to NaHCO3 and Na2CO3 formation during carbonation. In the NaHCO3 case, water vapor becomes part of carbonation, favoring reactivity. After the carbonation analysis, decarbonation process was analyzed using a N2 flow, where results evidenced that only NaHCO3 decomposition took place at low temperatures, producing NaOH and CO2. This result indicates that NaCoO2 can be partially regenerated, suggesting a possible CO2 cyclic carbonation. CO2 carbonation–decarbonation tests were performed, confirming cyclic capacity and stability. Moreover, NaCoO2 sample was modified adding different transition metals (Fe, Cu and Ni), trying to improve CO2-H2O sorption under similar physicochemical conditions. Results indicated that Fe-containing samples presented the best properties. Lastly, CO2 partial pressure effect was analyzed on NaCoO2 and Fe-containing samples using similar relative humidities.
