Synthesis and Formation Mechanism of Limestone-Derived Porous Rod Hierarchical Ca-based Metal-Organic Framework for Efficient CO2 Capture.

ABSTRACT: Limestone is a relatively abundant and low-cost material used for producing calcium oxide as a CO2 adsorbent. However, the CO2 capture capacity of limestone decreases rapidly after multiple carbonation/calcination cycles. To improve the CO2 capture performance, we developed a process using limestone to transform the material into a rod Ca-based metal-organic framework (Ca-MOF) via a hydrothermal process with the assistance of acetic acid and terephthalic acid (H2BDC). The structural formation of rod Ca-MOF may result from the (200) face-oriented attachment growth of Ca-MOF sheets. Upon heat treatment, a highly stable porous rod network with a calcined Ca-MOF-O structure was generated with a pore distribution of 50-100 nm, which allowed the rapid diffusion of CO2 into the interior of the so
