Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The disclosure generally relates to CCS sorbents, particularly for CO2/H2O displacement desorption process. The sorbent includes an aluminum oxide support and an alkali metal salt impregnated on the support, and a silicon modification of the sorbent to reduce water uptake by the sorbent and make it more hydrophobic. The silicon modification can be an organosilyl moiety added after the initial sorbent is complete, or a silica source added to the aluminum oxide structure, typically via impregnation. The sorbents demonstrate better H2O/CO2 ratios. Compositions and methods of making are disclosed.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A silicon-modified CO 2 /H 2 O displacement desorption sorbent, comprising an aluminum compound support; an alkali metal salt impregnated on the aluminum compound support; and 5% to 20% by weight of silica capping hydroxyl positions on the impregnated aluminum compound support. 2. The sorbent of claim 1 , comprising 7% to 15% by weight of silica capping hydroxyl positions on the impregnated aluminum compound support. 3. The sorbent of claim 1 , wherein the aluminum compound comprises aluminum oxide, aluminum oxide hydroxide, aluminum hydroxide, boehmite, or pseudoboehmite. 4. The sorbent of claim 1 , wherein the alkali metal salt comprises a potassium salt, a sodium salt, a lithium salt, or combinations thereof. 5. The sorbent of claim 1 , wherein the alkali metal salt is greater than about 5 weight % of the sorbent as M 2 O. 6. The sorbent of claim 1 , wherein the alkali metal salt is greater than about 8 weight % of the sorbent as M 2 O. 7. A silicon-modified CO 2 /H 2 O displacement desorption sorbent, comprising an aluminum compound support; an alkali metal salt impregnated on the aluminum compound support; and 5% to 15% by weight of silica capping hydroxyl positions on the impregnated aluminum compound support. 8. The sorbent of claim 7 , comprising 7% to 15% by weight of silica capping hydroxyl positions on the impregnated aluminum compound support. 9. The sorbent of claim 7 , wherein the aluminum compound comprises aluminum oxide, aluminum oxide hydroxide, aluminum hydroxide, boehmite, or pseudoboehmite. 10. The sorbent of claim 7 , wherein the alkali metal salt comprises a potassium salt, a sodium salt, a lithium salt, or combinations thereof. 11. The sorbent of claim 7 , wherein the alkali metal salt comprises a potassium salt, a sodium salt, or combinations thereof. 12. The sorbent of claim 7 , wherein the alkali metal salt is greater than about 5 weight % of the sorbent as M 2 O. 13. The sorbent of claim 7 , wherein the alkali metal salt is greater than about 8 weight % of the sorbent as M 2 O.
