Facile, time-saving cigarette butt-assisted combustion synthesis of modified CaO-based sorbents for high-temperature CO2 capture

Hewen Li et al.

Summary: Highly efficient and stable Zr-incorporated CaO-based sorbents were synthesized using a cigarette butt-assisted combustion synthesis (CAC) method. The CAC method showed superior cyclic CO2 capture capability and shorter synthesis time compared to wet-mixing and sol-gel methods. The optimal combustion temperature for synthesizing Zr-incorporated CaO-based sorbents using CAC method was found to be 750 degrees C. Synthetic sorbents with 25 wt% ZrO2 exhibited outstanding CO2 capture performance due to the generation of extensive CaZrO3 grains. The combination of cigarette butt-assisted combustion and graphite-moulding enabled the preparation of practical Zr-incorporated CaO-based pellets.

Xiaoxuan Wang et al.

Summary: The behaviors and kinetics of Chlorella pyrenoidosa fodder (CPF) pyrolysis were investigated using TG-FTIR and Py-GC/MS techniques. The results showed that pyrolysis mainly occurred in the temperature range of 150-600 degrees C. Higher temperatures resulted in the conversion of longer carbon chains to shorter ones. Additionally, a multi-step pyrolysis model and a modified kinetic compensation effects (KCE) model were developed to accurately describe the process.
