Synergy of Pore Size and Specific Surface Area on the CO2 Sorption Performance of Nano CaO-Based Sorbents

摘要

This study focuses on the synergy effect of pore size and specific surface area (SSA) on the carbon dioxide sorption performance. Nano CaO-based CO2 sorbents with various pore size (15-55 nm) under similar SSA, and different SSA (14.50-48.90 m(2)/g) under similar pore size are prepared using selected organic templates. Results indicate that increasing the proportion of macropore in 47-96 nm could significantly improve sorbent's sorption rate and corresponding sorption capacity. Besides, sorption capacity could be also by SSA. Moreover, partial correlation analysis reveals that sorption capacity is slightly more dependent on average pore size than SSA.
