Regeneration mechanisms of high-lithium content zirconates as CO2 capture sorbents: experimental measurements and theoretical investigations

By combining TGA and XRD measurements with theoretical calculations of the capture of CO 2 by lithium-rich zirconates (Li 8 ZrO 6 and Li 6 Zr 2 O 7 ), it has been demonstrated that the primary regeneration product during absorption/desorption cycling is in the form of Li 2 ZrO 3 . During absorption/...

Description
Summary:By combining TGA and XRD measurements with theoretical calculations of the capture of CO 2 by lithium-rich zirconates (Li 8 ZrO 6 and Li 6 Zr 2 O 7 ), it has been demonstrated that the primary regeneration product during absorption/desorption cycling is in the form of Li 2 ZrO 3 . During absorption/desorption cycles, lithium-rich zirconates will be consumed and will not be regenerated. This result indicates that among known lithium zirconates, Li 2 ZrO 3 is the best sorbent for CO 2 capture.
