The CO2 capture characteristics of dry potassium-based sorbents were investigated with thermogravi metric analysis (TGA) and a bubbling fluidized-bed reactor. Potassium-based sorbents were prepared by Impregnation with potassium carbonate on supports such as coconut. activated charcoal (AC1), coal active carbon (AC2), silica gel (SG), and activated alumina (Al2O3). Sorbents Such as K2CO3/AC1, K2CO3/AC(2), and K2CO3/Al2O3 showed excellent carbonation capacity, The total conversion rates of those sorbants were 97.2, 95.9, and 95.2%, respectively in the TG test, and 89.2, 87.9, and 87.6%, respectively, in the fluidized-bed test, However, K2CO3/SG showed poor carbonation capacity, the total conversion rates were only 34.5 and 18.8%, respectively, in TG and fluidized-bed tests. The differences in carbonation capacity of those sorbents were analyzed by studying the microscopic structure and crystal structure of the supports and the sorbents with X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and N-2 adsorption tests.
