ABSTRACT

The CO₂ adsorption time for carbonate species and linear CO₂ formation onto bimetallic CaO/Fe₂O₃ was investigated. The total basicity for CaO/Fe₂O₃ was 52.85 cm³g^-1 which is located at a medium basic site with maximum CO desorption temperature at 454 ℃. The CO₂ adsorption was conducted by using a fluidized bed reactor at 4, 12, 24 and 36 h. The element distribution on the adsorbent showed carbonate formation through an increment of the C element when the CO₂ adsorption time was longer. At 4 h of CO₂ adsorption, the adsorbent is capable of generating bicarbonate, monodentate carbonate and bidentate carbonate species. The vibrational modes of the physisorbed linear CO₂ for CO₂ absorbed product at the absorption region of 2240-2402 cm^-1 was identified after 36 h of CO₂ adsorption. The absorption bands were assigned according to the adjacent CO₂ molecule interactions giving formation of the core layer and second layer linear CO₂ on the CaO/Fe₂O₃ surfaces. The results of the present work show that the addition of CaO on the Fe₂O₃ surfaces enhanced the basic site of the adsorbent which could generate several carbonate species and CO₂ adsorbed products at ambient condition.

Keywords: Bimetallic; calcium oxide; carbonate formation; CO₂ capture; iron(III) oxide

ABSTRAK

Masa penjerapan CO₂ bagi pembentukan karbonat dan CO₂ linear di atas dwilogam CaO/Fe₂O₃telah dikaji. Jumlah kebesan bagi CaO/Fe₂O₃ adalah sebanyak 52.85 cm³g^-1 terletak di tapak bes medium dengan suhu penyahjerapan CO maksimum pada 454 ℃. Penjerapan CO₂ dilakukan dengan menggunakan reaktor lapisan terbendalir selama 4, 12, 24 dan 36 jam. Taburan unsur pada penjerap telah menunjukkan bukti pembentukan karbonat melalui peningkatan bagi unsur C apabila masa penjerapan CO₂ semakin lama. Selepas penjerapan CO₂ selama 4 jam, penjerap berkeupayaan dalam menghasilkan spesies bikarbonat, karbonat monodentat dan karbonat bidentat. Mod getaran bagi CO₂ linear yang terjerap secara fizikal untuk hasil CO₂ terjerap pada bahagian serapan 2240-2402 cm^-1 adalah jelas dikenal pasti setelah 36 jam penjerapan CO₂. Jalur serapan ditentukan berdasarkan interaksi molekul CO₂ berdekatan yang memberikan pembentukan lapisan teras dan lapisan kedua CO₂ linear pada permukaan CaO/Fe₂O₃. Hasil kajian ini menunjukkan penambahan CaO pada permukaan Fe₂O₃ telah memperbaiki tapak bes bagi penjerap yang membolehkan pembentukan spesies karbonat dan CO₂ linear pada keadaan ambien.

Kata kunci: Dwilogam; ferum(III) oksida; kalsium oksida; pembentukan karbonat; penjerapan CO₂
