Easily fluidizable agglomerates of a nanostructured silica powder serve as a fluidization vehicle of CO2 adsorbent Ca(OH)2 particles.
The increase of the effective contact time and contact surface in a fluidized bed reactor caused by the homogenization of fluidization gives rise to a significant enhancement of the CO2 adsorption efficiency by Ca(OH)2.
