Le résumé fourni par la source
The conversion of gaseous CO 2 into a solid constitution through mineralization is an active area of carbon capture, and alkaline earth metal hydroxides (M(OH) 2, M = Ca 2+, Mg 2+ ) are frontrunners in this area. As model systems, nanolime samples are excellent templates for the study of this reaction. Here, we have examined these under ambient pressure conditions with controlled humidity and CO 2 . Utilizing a broad range of analytical methods, we first established the purity and structures of the selected materials. We then examined the structural changes due to carbonation, using infrared spectroscopy, X-ray scattering, and neutron scattering. The resulting structural changes are resolved from nanoscale to mesoscale and from early-stage to late-stage carbonation. Ca(OH) 2 and Mg(OH) 2 are found to behave quite differently. As expected from prior work, the carbonation of Ca(OH) 2 is kinetically favored. Our structure studies suggest this is due to a facile reaction at the fractal interface of the particles. From early- to late-stage carbonation, there is a consistent increase in the fractal roughness. This is in contrast to Mg(OH) 2 where the same surface evolves into a smooth conformal coating. For this material the major reacting component is at the mesoscale, suggesting globular particle growth or evolving macro-porosity. Because neutron scattering is sensitive to hydrogen content, we expected a significant change as M(OH) 2 evolves to MCO 3 . Such a change is found for Ca(OH) 2 but not for Mg(OH) 2, providing evidence for the formation of hydrated carbonates for the later material. The formation of a conformal layer along with water-rich carbonate formation is an impediment to the use of Mg(OH) 2 for carbon capture. For energy-efficient carbon capture, it would be desirable to enhance carbonation rates for Mg(OH) 2, and one possible route would be the use of anhydrous fluids.
