Inorganic carbonate composites as potential high temperature CO₂ sorbents with enhanced cycle stability.

ABSTRACT: A calcium magnesium carbonate composite (CMC) material containing highly porous amorphous calcium carbonate (HPACC) and mesoporous magnesium carbonate (MMC) was synthesized. CMCs with varying HPACC : MMC mol ratios and high BET surface area (over 490 m² g^-1) were produced. The CMCs retained the morphology shared by HPACC and MMC. All these materials were built up of aggregated nanometer-sized particles. We tested the CO₂ uptake properties of the synthesized materials. The CMCs were calcined at 850 °C to obtain the corresponding calcium magnesium oxide composites (CMOs) that contained CaO : MgO at different mol ratios. CMO with CaO : MgO = 3 : 1 (CMO-3) showed comparable CO₂ uptake at 650 °C (0.586 g g^-1) to CaO sorbents obtained from p
