The reactivity of calcium oxide towards carbon dioxide and its use for energy storage

Barker, Ronald·1974·Journal of Applied Chemistry and Biotechnology

Abstract

By using calcium carbonate powder of particle size ∼ 10 nm (and therefore of high surface area) it has been shown that the reaction CaCO 3 ⇄ CaO + CO 2 can be made almost wholly reversible. A reactivity of 93% was achieved, (i.e. 93% of the calcium oxide reacted with carbon dioxide) and this was maintained for 30 24‐h decomposition‐back reaction cycles at 629 °C with no detectable decrease. This material has an energy storage capacity of 200 Wh/lb, but only about 1 kWh/ft.3 When this calcium carbonate was pressed, however, to increase its bulk density (from 0.1 to ∼ 1 g/ml) there was a large decrease in its surface area and a smaller decrease in its reactivity on undergoing a few decomposition and back reaction cycles. Scaling up of the sample size from 20 mg to 10 g only had a small (× 3) effect on the rates of decomposition and back reaction.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
