Abstract:
To achieve efficient CO
2 capture from industrial exhaust gases and enhance the resource utilization value of honeycomb coal slag, this study developed a composite adsorbent using yeontan waste as a carrier and monoethanolamine (MEA) as the active component. A composite adsorption system was constructed by loading 75% MEA solution onto 65-mesh(0.21 mm) coal slag powder. The surface morphology, elemental composition, mineral structure, and functional groups of the adsorbent were characterized by SEM, EDS, XRD, and FTIR. Using a self-designed fixed-bed reactor, the effects of gas flow rate (0.23−5.00 L/min) and CO
2 concentration (400×10
−6−2 000 ×10
−6) on the capture performance were systematically investigated. The cyclic stability was evaluated through thermal regeneration, and practical validation was conducted using real vehicle exhaust (containing NO
x/SO
2). The results showed that under conditions of 5.00 L/min flow rate and nearly
2000×10
−6 CO
2 concentration, the instantaneous capture efficiency reached 86.3%. The maximum capture capacity of 1 mL of MEA solution is 0.04 L of CO
2 under standard conditions. Under thermal regeneration at 145 ℃, the CO
2 desorption efficiency for simulated flue gas reached 97.9%, and the capture capacity retention rate remained at 70% after 15 cycles. In the real vehicle exhaust test, the CO
2 capture capacity reached 0.96 L CO
2 with a single-cycle desorption rate of 90.7%. This study innovatively proposes a low-cost technology for the capture and utilization of CO
2 from exhaust gases.
