Popis: High-pressure CO 2 capture was evaluated on Li 8 SiO 6 . Several different high-pressure experiments were performed using CO 2 , and the sample products were analyzed using XRD, N 2 adsorption, SEM and DSC. The results clearly showed that CO 2 is chemically and physically trapped and that the CO 2 chemisorption improved as a function of temperature. Depending on the temperature, Li 8 SiO 6 reacted with 2 mol or less of CO 2 to produce an external shell composed of Li 4 SiO 4 , Li 2 CO 3 and Li 2 O in a non-stoichiometric reaction. Independently of the external shell composition, the final surface area and pore volume increased independent of the external shell composition and favored the second sorption process: CO 2 adsorption. Therefore, high pressures enhance CO 2 capture between 30 and 350 °C, promoting the chemisorption and adsorption processes.
