Calcium phosphates are suggested as a CO2 adsorbent via pressure swing adsorption. Amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) and biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) (composed of hydroxyapatite and beta-tricalcium phosphate) were investigated for the capture/immobilization of the gas. A fluidized bed was set up to assess the levels of CO2 adsorption by ACP and BCP. A gaseous mixture was synthesized, mimicking the conditions for possible industrial use. The results show a significant reduction in CO2 concentrations. Using DFT calculations, we show that CO2 adsorption increases the stability by reducing the surface energy. The energies involved and preferential adsorption sites were also theoretically predicted.

双相和无定形磷酸钙对CO 2的吸附:实验和理论分析
建议通过变压吸附将磷酸钙作为CO 2吸附剂。研究了无定形磷酸钙(ACP)和双相磷酸钙(BCP)(由羟基磷灰石和β-磷酸三钙组成)用于气体的捕集/固定化。设置流化床以评估ACP和BCP对CO 2的吸附水平。合成了气态混合物,模拟了可能的工业用途条件。结果表明CO 2浓度显着降低。使用DFT计算,我们表明CO 2吸附通过降低表面能来增加稳定性。理论上还预测了所涉及的能量和优先吸附位。
