NASA is currently using a solid amine sorbent known as HSC + for regeneratively removing CO 2 in space shuttle applications. This sorbent may also be of value for CO 2 removal in various industrial processes such as greenhouse gas control, industrial syntheses, and natural gas purification. To design novel sorbents and to design a CO 2 scrubber based on HSC + , physical and thermochemical property data are required. In this paper, we present a detailed experimental investigation of property data and long-term performance results using HSC + as a CO 2 sorbent. Differential scanning calorimetry was used to determine the heat capacity of the material. Cyclic and equilibrium capacities of the material for CO 2 pickup were determined and long-term test data show excellent performance. In addition, we have determined the heat of adsorption associated with CO 2 pickup by HSC + and the effect of moisture, using isothermal flow calorimetry. We have also performed thermal gravimetric analyses on the materials to gain insight into the stability of the material and determine the temperatures at which CO 2 and constituents of HSC + leave the surface of the material.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
