Despite the fact that Na-silicates have been indicated as a sorbent at ambient temperature, their potential as high temperature CO2 sorbent has not yet been examined. In this work, CO2 sorption of fly ash derived sodium silicates was evaluated at 500, 600, and 700 degrees C. The effect of 2-12 vol % moisture, 12.5-100 vol % CO2, and CO2 sorption promoters on CO2 sorption was also evaluated. The results indicate that the carbonate:silica ratio used in the sorbents synthesis significantly affects the CO2 sorption capacity and regeneration temperature. Calcination at 800 degrees C is preferred due to formation of metastable sodium silicate phases, which resulted in higher CO2 uptake. Among the developed sorbents, Na-FA 0.5:1 was preferred because it was able to maintain CO2 sorption/desorption capacity after five cycles (compared to 1:1 and 1.5:1). NA-FA 0.5:1 had good capacity at postcombustion conditions (12.5% CO2, 12% H2O, 700 degrees C). The presence of 20% Li2CO3 additive enhanced the CO2 sorption of 20%. Overall, the Na-FA 0.5:1 sorbent showed a CO2 capture capacity and recyclability comparable to those of other high-temperature sorbents.
