Understanding and Improving the Kinetics of Bulk Carbonation on Sodium Carbonate حسب Tianyi Cai (1511026)

"…We find that the kinetics of Na₂CO₃ bulk carbonation is controlled by the <i>I</i>_H⁺/<i>V</i>_Na^– defect pair generation in Na₂CO₃; we predict that the kinetics can be enhanced by doping lithium into Na₂CO₃, which decreases the defect formation energy by 0.13 eV. This prediction was confirmed by our fixed-bed experiments, which found a 125% increase in the initial CO₂ absorption rate and a 29% increase in CO₂ uptake after 36 min exposure in 0.7 wt % (1.0 at. %) Li-doped Na₂CO₃ compared with undoped Na₂CO₃.…"
