A novel sorbent consisting of Mg(OH){sub 2} was developed for carbon dioxide (CO{sub 2}) capture at 200-315{sup o}C suitable for CO{sub 2} capture applications such as coal gasification systems. Thermodynamic analysis conducted with the FactSage software package indicated that the Mg(OH){sub 2} sorbent system is highly favorable for CO{sub 2} capture up to 400{sup o}C at 30 atm. MgCO{sub 3} formed during sorption decomposes to release CO{sub 2} at temperatures as low as 375{sup o}C up to 20 atm. MgO rehydroxylation to form Mg(OH){sub 2} is possible at temperatures up to 300{sup o}C at 20 atm. The experimental data show that the sorbent is regenerable at 375{sup o}C at high pressure and that steam does not affect the sorbent performance. A multicycle test conducted in a high-pressure fixed-bed flow reactor at 200{sup o}C with 28% CO{sub 2} showed stable reactivity during the cyclic tests. The capture capacity also increased with increasing pressure. The sorbent is unique because it exhibits a high CO{sub 2} capture capacity of more than 3 mol/kg at 200 {sup o}C and also is regenerable at a low temperature of 375 {sup o} C and high pressure. High-pressure regeneration is advantageous because the CO{sub 2} compression costs required for sequestration can be reduced.
