A new environmentally friendly method for synthesizing ultramicroporous carbon spheres was developed using a simple one-step non-catalytic CVD process at 800 degrees C. The carbon spheres exhibited high CO2 capture capacity and good regeneration performance.
A new and environmentally friendly non-caustic route to synthesize ultramicroporous carbon spheres (CS) via a simple one-step non-catalytic and activation-free chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method is described. The CVD method was applied at different temperatures, 600-900 degrees C; 800 degrees C was identified as the optimum for CS formation using a safe solid feedstock. The ultramicropores allow the effective interaction of the sorbent with CO2, resulting in high carbon capture capacity at both atmospheric and lower pressures. Specific surface area and total pore volume were influenced by the deposition temperature, leading to an appreciable change in overall carbon dioxide capture capacity. At atmospheric pressure, the highest CO2 adsorption capacities were ca. 4.0 mmol.g(-1) and 2.9 mmol.g(-1) at 0 degrees C and 25 degrees C, respectively, for the best CS. At lower pressure, 0.15 bar, the CO2 adsorption capacities were 2.0 mmol.g(-1) and 1.1 mmol.g(-1), again at 0 degrees C and 25 degrees C. The CS showed good sorption/desorption cyclability, ease of regeneration, favorable selectivity over N-2 of 30:1 at 25 degrees C, and rapid kinetics. The proposed method is suitable for large-scale adoption since high pyrolysis temperatures are already used in multi-million-ton industries such as that of carbon black production.
