It is urgent to develop excellent solid CO 2 sorbents with higher sorption capacity, simpler synthetic process, better thermal stability and lower costs of synthesis in CO 2 capture and storage technologies. In this work, a number of Li 4 SiO 4 -based sorbents synthesized by lithium carbonate with three different kinds of fly ashes in various molar ratios were developed. The results indicate that the Li 2 CO 3 :SiO 2 mole ratio used in the sorbents synthesis significantly affects the CO 2 absorption properties. The sorption capacity increased with the excess of Li 2 CO 3 first and then decreased when the excessive quantity was beyond a certain amount. The experiments found that FA-Li 4 SiO 4 _0.6, CFA-Li 4 SiO 4 _0.4, HCl/CFA-Li 4 SiO 4 _0.3 presented the best sorption ability among these fly ash derived Li 4 SiO 4 samples, and the corresponding weight gain was 28.2 wt%, 25.1 wt% and 32.5 wt%, respectively. The three sorbents with the optimal molar ratio were characterized using various morphological characterization techniques and evaluated by thermogravimetric analysis for their capacity to chemisorb CO 2 at 450 ° C - 650 ° C , diluted CO 2 (10%, 20%) and in presence of water vapor (12%). The adsorption curve of FA- Li 4 SiO 4 _0.6 at different temperatures was simulated with the Jander-Zhang model to explore the influence of carbon dioxide diffusion on adsorption reaction. Further experiments showed that the adsorbent had a good sorption capacity in a lower partial pressure of CO 2 and the presence of steam enhanced the mobility of Li + . What’s more, FA-Li 4 SiO 4 _0.6, CFA-Li 4 SiO 4 _0.4 and HCl/CFA-Li 4 SiO 4 _0.3 particles showed satisfactory sorption capacity in fixed-bed reactor and excellent cyclic sorption stability during 10 sorption/ desorption cycles.
