Abstract

Current commercial CO2 removal technology in the manufacture of ammonia and synthesis gas utilizes aqueous K2CO3 solvent. CO2 capture capacity is enhanced while significantly increasing bed utilization efficiency and reducing overall system weight and volume by introducing microfibrous media. K2CO3 sorbents supported on high surface area activated carbon particulates are prepared by pseudo-incipient wetness at different K2CO3 loadings. K2CO3 loading negatively correlates to K2CO3 utilization. The presence of K2CO3 phase appears at K2CO3 loading of 30 wt %. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the AIChE Annual Meeting and Fall Showcase (Cincinnati, OH 10/30/2005-11/4/2005).
