Abstract:

In order to improve the stability and adsorption rate of lithium zirconate(Li2ZrO3),fine powders of pure Li2ZrO3 were prepared by means of citric acid-ethylene glycol complexation,with lithium nitrate and zirconyl nitrate as the starting materials.Then,the thermal decomposition of the precursor was analyzed using a comprehensive thermal analyzer,and the precursor and the Li2ZrO3 powders were characterized by means of XRD,SEM and TG-DSC.Moreover,the effects of calcination temperature and time on the formation of tetragonal crystalline grains were analyzed.The results indicate that the crystal phase of the Li2ZrO3 powders synthesized at 800 ℃ for 150 min is te-tragonal,holonomic and homogeneous,that the optimal temperature for CO2 adsorption by the powders under programmed heating and constant high-temperature status is 600 ℃,at which the 90 min adsorption capacity reaches 23.7% of the lithium zirconate mass when CO2 flows at a rate of 45 cm3/min.In addition,a new solution to the proposed adsorption model is also presented in this paper,which is verified with the adsorption data by simulation,and the simulated results accord well with the experimental ones.
