This study focused on the carbon dioxide (CO2) separation and recovery by an internally heated and cooled thermal swing adsorption process. As part of the preliminary investigation, the CO2capture and enrichment performance of carbon molecular sieve (CMS), a typical hydrophobic adsorbent, and high silica zeolite (HSZ), which indicates hydrophobic behavior among zeolites, were examined in a simulated dry exhaust gas. In addition, the hydroscopic adsorbent, CaA type zeolite, was employed for comparison. The effects of the regeneration temperature and the regeneration air flow rate on the separation performance were primarily investigated. In general, the CaA type of zeolite indicated a greater CO2concentration performance and recovery ratio due to its relatively larger adsorption capacity. Comparison between HSZ and CMS showed that the CO2separation and recovery performance of HSZ were greater than that of CMS. A CO2concentration four times higher than that of the feed gas was obtained at a regeneration temperature of 80 °C. Moreover, further enrichment of CO2at the desorption outlet was achieved by reducing the regeneration air flow rate to 1/40 of the feed gas of the adsorption process in exchange for lowering the CO2recovery ratio. In contrast, CMS could only produce three times greater the concentration of enriched CO2when compared to the feed gas. The enriched CO2concentration was almost independent of the regeneration air flow rate. This behavior was due to a lower CO2adsorption selectivity of CMS; this interpretation was supported by time profiles of desorption gas outlet volume and the CO2concentration.
