Abstract

CO 2 adsorption is one of the promising CCS technologies, and activated coke is a solid adsorbent with excellent adsorption properties. In this study, activated coke was prepared by using bituminous coal and coconut shells activated with KOH or CaCl 2 in a physically activated atmosphere and modified with ammonia. The effect of the active agent impregnation ratio on the physicochemical properties of activated coke was investigated by N 2 adsorption isotherms, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR). The CO 2 adsorption performance of activated coke was tested, and the effect of nitrogen-containing functional groups on CO 2 adsorption was investigated by experiments and simulations. The results showed that the specific surface area of activated coke reached 629.81 m 2 /g at a KOH impregnation ratio of 0.5 and 610.66 m 2 /g at a CaCl 2 impregnation ratio of 1. The maximum CO 2 adsorption capacity of activated coke reached 71.70 mg/g and 90.99 mg/g for conventional power plant flue gas and oxy–fuel combustion flue gas, respectively. After ammonia modification, the CO 2 adsorption capacity of activated coke was further increased. Simulations showed that pyrrole and pyrrole functional groups changed the polarity of graphene and established weak interactions with CO 2 .
