K2CO3/Al2O3 is one potential medium that could be used for CO2 capture technology. In recent years, its carbonation and regeneration behaviors have been well-studied, and it is understood that K2CO3/Al2O3 demonstrates quite a high CO2 capture capacity. Its main drawback is the unsatisfactory CO2 adsorption rate. Because the total uptake of CO2 principally depends upon the adsorption in the first 10 min, the increase of the reaction rate in the first 10 min could be greatly significant and valuable. Therefore, the modification of K2CO3 is studied. TiO2 is considered as a potential dopant for the cyclic K2CO3/KHCO3-based CO2 capture process. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) characterizations of K2CO3/Al2O3 doped with TiO2 indicate that TiO2 is stable within the temperature range of the process. Moreover, TiO2 shows a positive effect on the adsorption process of K2CO3, and the reaction rate is observed to increase obviously, especially in the first 10 min.
