To separate CO₂ from coal-fired power plant emissions, semicoke, which is cheap and easy to obtain, was further activated to use as the carrier and tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA) was impregnated in the activated semicoke to prepare solid amine sorbents. The effects of activating agents, adsorption temperature, and the presence of water on CO₂ sorption were investigated in a fixed-bed reactor, and the regenerability and adsorption kinetics for prepared sorbents were also studied. The equilibrium adsorption capacity for N₂-activated semicoke (SE-N₂) was 2.70 and 2.14 mmol/g at 20 °C when water was absent and present, respectively, and the equilibrium adsorption capacity for 10 wt % TEPA-modified N₂-activated semicoke (SE-N₂-TEPA10%) was 3.24 and 3.58 mmol/g at 60 °C when water was absent and present, respectively. After 10 cyclic regenerations, the adsorption capacity for SE-N₂-TEPA10% reduced by 7.7% under dry conditions, and SE-N₂-TEPA10% showed good regenerability.
