SiO2 coated nano CaCO3 sorbents were prepared by using CO2 as precipitant and Na2SiO3 as silica source.TEM results showed that nano CaCO3 was coated by SiO2
and SEM & EDX tested Si content was 0.67%-4.93%.TGA was used to investigate the decomposition temperature and sorption properties under the condition of 600℃
20% CO2 of absorbents.Compared with uncoated nano CaCO3
the decomposition temperature of SiO2 coated nano CaCO3 decreased by 9—42℃.With decreasing Si content
the cycle sorption ratio
cycle sorption capacity and sorption rate of SiO2 coated nano CaCO3 absorbents increased first but then decreased.The sample containing 1.05% Si had outstanding sorption properties.The 1st and 5th cycles sorption capacities were 8.9 mol·kg-1 and 6.0 mol·kg-1
11% and 50% higher than uncoated nano CaCO3.The 5th cycle sorption rate of rapid reaction section was improved by 10% compared with uncoated nano CaCO3.SiO2 coated nano CaCO3 possessed higher sorption capacity and cycle sorption ratio
and better cycle stability than uncoated nano CaCO3.
