Acquiring an effective CaO-based CO₂ sorbent and achieving selective methanation of CO₂.

ABSTRACT: CO₂ capture, utilization, and storage are promising strategies to solving the problems of superfluous CO₂ or energy shortage. Here, mechanochemical reduction of CO₂ by a MgH₂/CaH₂ mixture was first performed, by which we achieve selective methanation of CO₂ and acquire an effective CaO-based CO₂ sorbent, simultaneously. The selectivity of methanation is near 100% and the yield of CH₄ reaches 30%. Four MgO and carbon-doped CaO-based CO₂ sorbents (MgO/CaO/C, MgO/2CaO/C, MgO/4CaO/C, and MgO/8CaO/C) were formed as solid products in these reactions. Among them, the MgO/4CaO/C sorbent shows high initial adsorption amount of 59.3 wt% and low average activity loss of 1.6% after 30 cycles. This work p
