Solid sorbents for carbon capture applications
The recently released Resifa™ Solesphere™ fine silica (photo) is designed for reliable, efficient carbon capture. These silica particles have a unique microspherical shape and exceptional pore volume, allowing the advanced mesoporous silica grades to deliver superior performance as solid sorbents for carbon capture, the company says. The solid silica product is available in three versatile forms — bare silica, silica pellets and this company’s proprietary amine-treated silica pellets. A key feature of Solesphere fine silica that maximizes CO2-capture efficiency is the highly porous structure, with pore volumes of up to 2.0 ml/g, and pore diameters of 50 nm, to effectively trap and retain CO2 molecules. Also, the amines are air-stable and heat-resistant, ensuring thermal stability and reliable capture efficiency. Other key features include energy-efficient design and customizability. The product is available in various particle sizes and porosities to meet specific carbon capture needs. — AGC Chemicals Americas, Exton, Pa.
