To counter CO2 emissions caused by anthropogenic activities, different materials have been studied as adsorbent materials for Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) technologies. To increment their industrial applicability, they should be able to satisfy some requirements as good CO2 adsorption capacity in a wide range of temperature, weak regeneration conditions, low costs and availability into shaped form.
Already shaped hydrotalcite seems to be a good candidate for CO2 adsorption for high temperature industrial applications. The UniTo Chemistry department in collaboration with Department of Industrial Engineering of the University of Padova is developing some 3D printed samples with different loading of hydrotalcite for CO2 adsorption at high temperature.
The thesis work will be mainly focused on the characterization of those materials by means of multi-technique approach concerning volumetric techniques, adsorption microcalorimetry and in situ and operando IR spectroscopy.
