Abstract

Coal combustion flue gas contains CO 2 , a greenhouse gas and driver of climate change. Therefore, CO 2 separation and removal is necessary. Fortunately, 5A zeolites are highly porous and can be used as a CO 2 adsorbent. In addition, they act as nuclei for hydrate formation. In this work, a composite technology, based on the physical adsorption of CO 2 by 5A zeolite and hydrate-based gas separation, was used to separate CO 2 /N 2 gas mixtures. The influence of water content, temperature, pressure, and particle size on gas adsorption and CO 2 separation was studied, revealing that the CO 2 separation ability of zeolite particles sized 150–180 μm was better than that of those sized 380–830 μm at 271.2 K and 273.2 K. When the zeolite particles were 150–180 μm (type-B zeolite) with a water content of 35.3%, the gas consumption per mole of water ( n g a s / n H 2 O ) reached the maximum, 0.048, and the CO 2 separation ratio reached 14.30%. The CO 2 molar concentration in the remaining gas phase ( x C O 2 g a s ) was lowest at 271.2 K in the type-B zeolite system with a water content of 47.62%. Raman analysis revealed that CO 2 preferentially occupied the small hydrate cages and there was a competitive relationship between N 2 and CO 2 .
