Abstract

Cost effective, easy to use and regenerate could be the desired properties of an adsorbent. Reusing of waste material as CO2 adsorbent can be a good alternative for solving the problem of waste disposal as well. Thus, in this study, aluminium-based drinking water treatment plant sludge as carbon dioxide adsorbent was reused. The sludge collected from a local drinking water treatment plant. It was dried and characterized using scanning electron microscope-energy disperse X-ray (SEM-EDX), Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Investigations of the effects of temperature, flow rate, concentration of CO2 and adsorbent dosage on CO2 adsorption capacity were performed using a fixed bed column at a pressure of 1 bar. The maximum capacity of 32.56 mg/g was found which was higher than that of some reported adsorbents.
