The catalytic complex made by a spray technique has a dual function containing Ni as a catalytic material and CaO as an adsorption material used in the ReSER process. The attrition characteristics of the catalytic complex are acceptable for the commercial used. The nano GaCO3 material used as a precursor of CaO showed a desirable durability with a CO2 sorption capacity of 0.6 mol CO2/kg after 10 repeating cycles under the carbonation temperature of 600 ℃, a CO2 partial pressure of 0.02 MPa, and a calcination temperature of 750 ℃ in N2 measured by a thermal gravimetric analyzer. The testing of the catalytic complex for ReSER showed a hydrogen yield of over 95 % （v/v） in the laboratory fixed fluidized bed reactor. The catalytic system has an attractive prospect in the ReSER process for hydrogen production, especially in the fluidized mode where reactor and regenerator combined in a cycling process.展开更多

The CO2 absorption capacity of those sorbents was investigated in a fixed-bed reactor in the temperature range of 350-650 ℃. It was found that all of those sorbents showed higher capacity for CO2 absorption when the operating temperature higher than 450 ℃. The CaAc2-CaO sorbent showed the highest CO2 absorption capacity of 299 mg.g-1. The mor- phology of those sorbents was examined by scanning electron microscope （SEM）, and the changes of composition before and after carbonation were also determined by X-ray diffraction （XRD）. Results indicated that those sorbents have the similar chemical compositions and crystalline phases before carbonation reaction [mainly Ca（OH）2], and CaCO3 is the main component after carbonation reaction. The SEM morphology shows clearly that the sorbent pores were filled with reaction products after carbonation reaction, and became much denser than before. The N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms indicated that the CaAc2-CaO and CaCO3-CaO sorbents have higher specific surface area. lar2er oore volume and anoropriate pore size distribution than that of CaO-CaO and Ca（OH）2-CaO.展开更多
