Abstract

The effects of coal rank, coal composition, and pressure on the CO ₂ adsorption capacity of five South African coal samples were evaluated. Adsorption isotherms of the flue gases on coal were measured at 35 °C and up to a maximum pressure of 88 bar using the volumetric method. The flue gases used were simulated industrial flue gases of a coal fired plant. Adsorption tests with flue gases were conducted to study the degree of coal preferential sorption of the individual components. It was observed that adsorption capacity of CO₂ onto coal is considerably reduced by the addition of other gases.
