The application discloses a self-supporting
carbon dioxide capture
monolith structure, belonging to the field of direct
air capture (DAC) technology, and solves the problems of large pressure drop, low
heat transfer efficiency and the need for additional fixing structure of a traditional
powder adsorbent. The
monolith structure comprises a
composite matrix, the
composite matrix containing an adsorbent material, a gradient
heat transfer layer and a multi-channel structure: the adsorbent material is composed of
clinoptilolite, kaolin and a
methyl cellulose binder; the gradient
heat transfer layer is formed by depositing
copper powder in the adsorbent material, the
copper content increasing from the outer wall to the core direction, realizing directional heat transfer of
carbon dioxide adsorption-regeneration cycle; and the multi-channel structure penetrates through the
composite matrix, providing a low pressure drop air flow path. The monolithic design has self-supporting capability, does not need additional fixing structure, can integrate a
heating element to assist regeneration of the adsorbent material, can efficiently complete adsorption-regeneration cycle, provides a low pressure drop
carbon dioxide adsorption capture solution for the DAC field, the material is natural, non-toxic and easy to
handle, and has outstanding application value.
