Abstract:
Li
4SiO
4 used as a revolving CO
2 absorbent at determinate temperature can be synthesized with SiO
2 and Li
2CO
3 by solid state reaction at high temperature. The crystal structure and microstructure of Li
4SiO
4 were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), respectively. The CO
2-adsorption capability of Li
4SiO
4 was studied by TGA preliminarily, and then was tested in a small experimental apparatus. The results show that the CO
2-adsorption capability is influenced by the preparation temperature of Li
4SiO
4 synthesis, and it was the largest at 700 ℃. The maximum adsorption capability could achieve 34%. Besides, the adsorption capability increases as the adsorption temperature going up and longer time. When CO
2 concentration was 75%, 67%, 60%, the adsorption capability could respectively reach 6.68 mmol/g, 3.37 mmol/g, 2.02 mmol/g.
