Abstract
A study was conducted to investigate improved CO2 capture efficiency and stability of gallium substituted hydrotalcites at elevated temperatures. Gallium substituted hydrotalcites (Ga-SHT) were prepared by a procedure slightly modified from the conventional hydrotalcite synthesis. Ga-SHT were customized by stirring a 1 g portion of the material in 50 mL of water containing 2.0 M potassium carbonate for 2 hours before removing the water at 70 °C under a slight vacuum. The SHTs were also converted into the CO2 adsorbents by calcining at 400 °C in an inert gas atmosphere. The CO2 experiments were conducted at 200 °C and the CO2 partial pressure was 0.7 atm. The CO2 adsorption capacities were obtained using a thermal gravimetric apparatus (TGA) to measure weight gain under a dry gas stream containing CO2 and an inert gas.
