The objective of this research was to investigate CO2 adsorption capacity of tetraethylenepentamine-functionalized basic-modified calcined hydrotalcite (TEPA/ b-cHT) sorbents at atmospheric pressure formed under varying TEPA loading levels,temperatures,sorbent weight to total gaseous flow rate (W/F) ratios and CO2 concentrations in the influent gas.The TEPA/b-cHT sorbents were characterized bymeans of X-ray diffraction (XRD),Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FT-IR),thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA),Brunauer-Emmet-Teller (BET) analysis of nitrogen (N2) adsorption/desorption and carbon-hydrogen-nitrogen (CHN) elemental analysis.Moreover,a full 24 factorial design with three central points at a 95% confidence interval was used to screen important factor(s) on the CO2 adsorption capacity.It revealed that 85.0% variation in the capacity came from the influence of four main factors and the 15.0% one was from their interactions.A face-centered central composite design response surface method (FCCCD-RSM) was then employed to optimize the condition,the maximal capacity of 5.5-6.1 mmol/g was achieved when operating with a TEPA loading level of 39%-49% (W/W),temperature of 76-90℃,W/F ratio of 1.7-2.60 (g·sec)/cm3 and CO2 concentration of 27%-41% (V/V).The model fitted sufficiently the experimental data with an error range of ± 1.5%.From cyclical adsorption/desorption and selectivity at the optimal condition,the 40%TEPA/b-cHT still expressed its effective performance after eight cycles.
