Abstract:
A method of regenerating an absorbent includes preparing a reactor having a gas inlet portion and a discharge portion, filling the reactor with a reforming catalyst and an absorbent for absorbing carbon dioxide, feeding the feedstock gas and the steam via the gas inlet portion to the reactor to allow a steam reforming reaction to take place, allowing the absorbent to absorb carbon dioxide generated with hydrogen at the steam reforming reaction, and releasing the carbon dioxide from the absorbent after the carbon dioxide absorption capacity of the absorbent has been degraded. In this method, the temperature in an inside of the reactor is set to 625° C. or more at the release of the carbon dioxide, and an inert gas is fed via the discharge portion to the reactor.

Abstract:
A method for manufacturing hydrogen includes supplying ethanol to a reactor which is filled with a reforming catalyst and a carbon dioxide absorbent containing a lithium composite oxide, and heating the reactor under the condition that the inside thereof is pressurized to 3 to 15 atm to carry out water-vapor reforming of the ethanol.
Abstract:
A chemical reaction apparatus includes a reaction chamber and a carbon dioxide absorbent chamber disposed behind the reaction chamber in adjacent to it. The reaction chamber generates a gas containing hydrogen and carbon dioxide from the material gas, and the carbon dioxide absorbent chamber absorbs carbon dioxide from the gas generated from the reaction chamber.
Abstract:
A method of regenerating a carbon dioxide gas absorbent includes heating a carbon dioxide gas absorbent containing lithium silicate, which has been absorbed a carbon dioxide gas, under a reduced pressure atmosphere to release the carbon dioxide gas.
Abstract:
The carbon dioxide absorbent contains a lithium-containing oxide, an alkali halide, has a high carbon dioxide absorption capability, and sufficiently maintains the carbon dioxide absorption capability even in repeated used for absorption and desorption of carbon dioxide.
Abstract:
A carbon dioxide absorbent of the invention comprises (a) a lithium silicate and (b) an absorption promoter containing potassium carbonate and sodium carbonate at a mole ratio of (sodium carbonate)/(potassium carbonate) in a range from 0.125 to 0.4, and the absorption promoter (b) is contained in an amount from 0.5 to 4.9% by mole based on the total amount of the lithium silicate (a) and the absorption promoter (b).
