description |
Carbon dioxide (CO2) gas emission to the atmosphere contributes to global
warming and climate changes processes. To mitigate the effects of carbon dioxide
release to the atmosphere, this study explores the usage of activated palm kernel shell
adsorbent (APKS) and zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) in pressure swing
adsorption (PSA) processes to remove carbon dioxide from a binary mixture of flue
gas containing CO2 and nitrogen (N2) gas. CO2 is the more strongly adsorbed species
compared to nitrogen in a flue gas. The adsorbents were both prepared and
characterized using Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) Analysis, Scanning Electron
Microscope (SEM) analysis, Energy Dispersive X-Ray (EDX) analysis,
Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Particle Size Analysis and X-Ray Diffraction
(XRD) analysis. Breakthrough studies were performed on the adsorbents with the
effect of adsorbent types and feed gas composition (15% - 25% CO2) investigated.
APKS proved to be a better adsorbent with larger breakthroughs at the tested feed
CO2 concentrations. The breakthrough time was adopted into the PSA and the
performance of both adsorbents in the process were evaluated. The effects of
adsorbent type and feed gas composition in PSA were investigated. The purity of
carbon dioxide gas was able to be concentrated to 82.99% and a recovery of 99.61%
was also determined. These results provide some promising insight into the
application of APKS and ZIF-8 in carbon dioxide capture in PSA which could be
useful for environmental remediation and nitrogen purification. |
