CO2-filling capacity and selectivity of carbon nanopores: synthesis, texture, and pore-size distribution from quenched-solid density functional theory (QSDFT).
Environmental Science & Technology 2011 August 16
Porous carbons synthesized by KOH activation of petroleum coke can have high surface areas, over 3000 m(2)/g, and high CO(2) sorption capacity, over 15 wt % at 1 bar. This makes them attractive sorbents for carbon capture from combustion flue gas. Quenched solid density functional theory (QSDFT) analysis of high-resolution nitrogen-sorption data for such materials leads to the conclusion that it is the pores smaller than 1 nm in diameter that fill with high-density CO(2) at atmospheric pressure. Upon increasing pressure, larger and larger pores are filled, up to about 4 nm at 10 bar. An ideal CO(2)/N(2) selectivity of such carbon materials tends to decrease substantially upon increasing pressure, for example, from about 8-10 at 1 bar to about 4-5 at 10 bar. All in all, this work confirms the robust CO(2)-filling properties of porous carbon sorbents, their low-pressure selectivity advantages, and points to the critical role of <1 nm pores that can be controlled with activation conditions.
