[摘要]:The carbon dioxide storage capacity of magnesium oxide (MgO) particles was examined as a function of particle size, shape, and surface area. Two types of MgO nanocrystals (5 nm spheres and 23 nm disks) were synthesized and compared against commercially available MgO (325 mesh/44 mu m and 40 mesh/420 mu m). The surface area of the four types of particles was determined by N(2) gas adsorption. Carbon dioxide capture was measured at 60 degrees C and 600 degrees C using thermogravimetric analysis, with results indicating enhanced CO(2) capacity correlating with increased surface area. |
