In this study, the stability of a resin-based solid amine sorbent in a circulating fluidized bed temperature swing adsorption (CFB-TSA) process was evaluated. Thermal degradation, CO2-induced degradation and oxidative degradation were identified as possible types of degradation. The presence of water molecules was found to alleviate oxidative and CO2-induced degradation.
In this study, various types of degradation as well as attrition which are possibly encountered in a circulating fluidized bed temperature swing adsorption (CFB-TSA) process, were conducted experimentally to evaluate the stability of a resin-based solid amine sorbent. Other characterizations methods, such as elemental analysis (EA), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) etc. were applied to further reveal the degradation mechanisms. The results showed that thermal degradation occurs from 140-160 degrees C due to the decomposition of amine group. The CO2-induced degradation occurs from a higher temperature of 160-180 degrees C accompanied by the production of urea. Hydrothermal stability is good below 130 degrees C, but the ionic impurities in steam crystalized on particle surface can accelerate the degradation. Oxidative degradation is the most harmful, which starts at a lower temperature of 70-80 degrees C with the formation of aldehyde. The existence of H2O in atmosphere can alleviate the oxidative and CO2-induced degradations. The employed sorbent has a very low attrition index of 0.05, which is 1-2 orders lower than typical commercial fluidized bed catalysts. Based on the results of stability evaluation, some design suggestions for proper utilization of this sorbent or other similar resin-based sorbents have been provided in an industrial CFB-TSA process.
