Abstract - The reaction of calcium oxide with carbon dioxide is one of the most important methods for the capture and concentration of greenhouse gas from the flue gases of industrial plants. In this work, the carbonation reaction of CaO obtained from various sources with CO2 was investigated by a thermogravimetric
method. These sources include commercial lime or CaO, CaCO3, Ca(OH)2, CaC2O4.H2O, a synthesized
nanoporous sorbent, limestone and acetic acid washed limestone. The effect of structural parameters of the sorbents on the reactivity and CO2 capture capacity were studied using pore size distribution data. Also, the
changes in the solid texture during the carbonation reaction were investigated. It was found that there is a direct relation between the pore volume of the sorbents and their reactivity. It was found that sintering is one of the main reasons for decreased activity in the carbonation/calcination cycles.

INTRODUCTION
Global accumulation of CO2 greenhouse gas in the
atmosphere has increased from 280 ppm in around 1860 to approximately 316 ppm in 1957 and rapidly to 390 ppm in 2010 (Kenarsari et al., 2013). Fossil fuels are the dominant form of energy utilized in the world (86%), and are responsible for more than 75% of the current CO2 emission (Houghton et al., 2001).
The need to reduce CO2 emissions is globally
ac-cepted and represents the driving force to reconsider the environmental aspects of current technologies used for power generation plants (Herzog, 2001).
The use of CaO as a regenerable CO2 sorbent has
been reported from several works. For example, a process using twin circulating fluidized bed reactors for the large scale carbon dioxide capture from flue
gas by lime has been proposed (Shimizu et al., 1999). Also, the reversible carbonation-calcination reactions of calcium oxide have been suggested as the basis of energy storage systems (Aihara et al., 2001), and as the basis of a moderate temperature separation of CO2 for hydrogen purification (Silaban,
Narcida and Harrison, 1996). The effective capture of CO2 by CaO has been demonstrated in a fluidized
bed reactor or carbonation site (Abanades et al., 2004). The reacted sorbent is then transferred to an-other fluidized bed reactor (calciner) operating at higher temperatures (>900 ºC) to produce a concen-trated (>95%) CO2 stream (Hughes et al., 2005, Lu,

Effect of Sorbent Pore Volume on the Carbonation Reaction of Lime with CO2 385
Brazilian Journal of Chemical Engineering Vol. 33, No. 02, pp. 383 - 389, April - June, 2016
MwCO2 is the molecular weight of CO2. Nitrogen
adsorption was used to evaluate the pore size distri-butions of the samples (pellets after decomposition) and their specific surface areas. The pore size distri-butions were determined according to the HK+BJH model for micro-meso pores, respectively. Also, the BET method was used to determine the specific sur-face of the samples.
The various types of lime used in this work as starting materials for investigating the carbonation reaction behavior were as follows:
A) Commercial lime (CaO, Merck Art. No.102109). B) CaO from calcination of calcium carbonate (CaCO3, Merck Art. No.102059).
C) CaO from calcination of natural limestone. The natural limestone used in this work was from Abyek mine. The XRF analysis of this sorbent is shown in Table 1.

D) CaO from calcination of limestone washed with acetic acid solution. For this sample, 105 g lime-stone was added to 500 mL of 3M acetic acid. The reaction time was about 3 h. Then it was filtered and dried at 120 ºC for 4 h.
E) CaO from decomposition of commercial cal-cium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2, Merck Art No. 102047).
F) CaO from decomposition of commercial calcium oxalate (CaC2O4.H2O, Aldrich).
G) CaO from calcination of a synthesized nano calcium carbonate. This sample was prepared by reaction of calcium nitrate with sodium bicarbonate solutions under ultrasonic treatment (Nouri, Ale Ebrahim and Naser Nejad, 2014).
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
The carbonation reactions were carried out in the TGA at 650 ºC. The conversion-time profiles of dif-ferent sorbents are shown in Figure 2. It is clear that the reactivity and CO2 capture capacity of the
differ-ent sorbdiffer-ents are not similar.
The differences in the reactivity are due to the differences in the sorbent textures. The XRD (X-Ray Diffraction) patterns show that the crystal size and structure of the sorbents are almost the same (Figure 3). Therefore, the surface reaction rate of calcium oxide with CO2 is not different for the various
sorbents. The pore size distributions of calcium ox-ides obtained by calcination of various sources are shown in Figure 4. Also, Table 2 shows the pore volume values and BET surface areas of the different sorbents. There is a direct relation between the pa-rameter β (which is the pore volume of the sorbent per unit surface) and the reactivity of the sorbent, especially in the fast stage of reaction (about the first 200 s of reaction). As can be seen in Figure 2, the sorbents obtained from calcium oxalate and nano calcium carbonate show the best performance, espe-cially in the fast stage of carbonation. The fast reac-tion period is practically important in order to main-tain the reactor sizes economically feasible.

The overall reaction rate is a function of sur-face reaction kinetics, diffusion through the CaCO3
product layer surrounding the CaO grains, diffusion through the macropores of the pellet, and the gas film around the pellet. In the fast kinetic control stage, the thickness of the CaCO3 product layer is
thin. Thus, the sorbent with higher surface area and pore volume shows higher reactivity because there is more space for the surface reaction. The sudden change in the reaction rate can be explained by the change in the morphology of the sorbent during the reaction.

of the sorbent during the cyclic reaction is obvious. During the calcination, the calcium carbonate de-composes to calcium oxide, causing micro and meso pores to be created. On the other hand, some of these pores sinter together creating macropores. This phe-nomenon decreases the activity of the sorbent during the cycles in which this decay is more rapid in the preliminary cycles. However, the difference between the final points in Gigure 6 is negligible, and thus this process approached a constant final conversion.
CONCLUSION
In this work, the rate of the carbonation reaction of lime produced from various sources was investi-gated by the thermogravimetric method. The increase in the porosity of these samples is due to the gaseous products evolved during the decomposition stage of the initial materials. Calcium oxide obtained from the calcination of calcium oxalate and nanoporous calcium carbonate show the best CO2 capture capacity
among the sorbents. The reactivity and CO2 uptake
capacity of the sorbents are proportionally related to their pore volumes and BET surface areas. The be-havior of calcium carbonate sorbent (B) during the multiple carbonation/calcination cycles was also studied. The decay in the sorbent reactivity during the cycles is one of the major problems that is still open for investigation. It seems that, during the mul-tiple calcinations, the pore structure of the sorbent is changed due to the sintering and its highly reactive microporous structure changes to a sintered macro-porous texture.
