CO2 sorption capacities and physical properties of the MgO-based sorbent, and the effect of steam during the sorbent regeneration were studied. Four MgO-based dry regenerable sorbents (P-A?¡«?D) were prepared by spray drying method for the application to pre-combustion CO2 capture. Physical properties of the sorbents were measured by standard ASTM methods. MgO-based sorbents satisfied with most of the physical requirements for commercial fluidized-bed process. All sorbents had a spherical shape and an average size of 106?¡À?10?¦Ìm. Most of the attrition index (AI) of the sorbents except for P-D was below 12 % , which was superior, compared to commercial fluidized catalytic cracking (FCC) catalysts. CO2 sorption capacities were evaluated by multi-cycle test in a high pressure bubbling fluidized-bed reactor at 473?K and 20?bar with 37 % CO2. The sorption capacities of the sorbents showed 3.3-14.5?wt % during 3 cycle. Particularly, P-A showed a high CO2 sorption capacity of more than 14?wt % . In this study, CO2 sorption capacity of steam-treated sorbent was higher than non-treated sorbent. This result can be explained by the presence of Mg(OH)2 formed by hydroxylation by MgO and increasing surface area of steam-treated sorbent.
