Dual function materials (DFMs) comprised of 0.25 %Ru, 6.1 %Na₂O/γ-Al₂O₃//monolith were evaluated for about 250 hours time-on-stream (TOS) at various simulated ambient climate capture conditions followed by temperature swing methanation to 280 °C. Herein this paper focuses on the impact of thrifting Ru to low levels and the impact on performance. Results showed both stable CO₂ capture capacity and CH₄ production with 0.25 % Ru DFM deposited on a ceramic monolith. The CO₂ conversion to CH₄ production was decreased slightly by the Ru decrease from 1 % to 0.25 %. The capture capacity decreased since a lower Ru content reduces the complete decomposition of the Na₂CO₃ precursor producing fewer active adsorption sites (“Na₂O”). The deployment of a low Ru DFM monolith would significantly decrease the overall capital cost and give more potential for a large-scale direct air capture and methanation (DACM) application.
