The sol-gel combustion synthesis is an effective method to prepare high-performance CaO sorbent, and this study investigated the effects of different variables on the sorbent performance, finding the optimal ratios and conditions.
The sol-gel combustion synthesis is a superior method to prepare high-performance CaO-based sorbent which is applicable for flue gas decarbonization and thermochemical energy storage. To optimize this synthesis, this study investigated different preparation variables in the sol-gel formation process and combustion process. The effects of these variables on the cyclic CO2 sorption performance, micromorphology, and physical parameters of the prepared pure CaO sorbents were studied. First, worse cyclic performance was shown when the H2O/Ca2+ molar ratio was over 100:1, and the optimal ratio was 80:1. Second, the citric acid/calcium nitrate ratio influenced the formation of the complex as well as the gas production and adiabatic flame temperature in the combustion process, and the optimal molar ratio was 1:1. Third, the NH4NO3 and Ca-based precipitate would be produced when the pH value of the precursor solution was over 3. The optimal pH value was 2, and the carbonation conversion of the prepared sorbent reached 99% in the 2nd cycle within the 10 min carbonation at 650 ?degrees C under 15% volume CO2. After 20 cycles, the conversion was 70.4%. Fourth, a higher heating rate facilitated better cyclic performance and the optimal heating rate was 10 degrees C/min. Finally, a higher initial ignition temperature accelerated grain growth and particles agglomeration of the combustion product, and the optimal temperature was 300 degrees C.
