Capsules of Reactive Ionic Liquids for Selective Capture of Carbon Dioxide at Low Concentrations.

Adsorption isotherms are reported for pure carbon dioxide on zeolite 13X (also called zeolite NaX) pellets over a temperature range of 0 to 200 °C and a pressure range of 0.001 to 100 kPa. These pure-component equilibria are fit with Langmuir, Toth, two-site Langmuir, and three-site Langmuir models, both with and without temperature dependence being included in the saturation capacity. The agreement between fitted and measured isotherms is shown to increase with increasing number of available fitting parameters in the model, with the constant-saturation, two-site Langmuir isotherm providing the best balance between agreement with the measurements and model complexity. The isosteric heats of adsorption are measured across a temperature range from 10 to 200 °C using differential scanning calorimetry. The measured heats of adsorption decrease with increasing CO2 loading but show little variation with temperature. The measurements are shown to agree with predicted heats of adsorption derived from the fitted L...

Measurement and Prediction of the Heat of Adsorption and Equilibrium Concentration of CO2 on Zeolite 13X

In recent years, significant development milestones have been reached in the areas of facilitated transport membranes and ionic liquids for CO2 separations; making the combination of these materials an incredibly promising technology platform for gas treatment processes, such as post-combustion and direct CO2 capture from air in buildings, submarines, and spacecrafts. The developments in facilitated transport membranes involve consistently surpassing the Robeson upper bound for dense polymer membranes, demonstrating a high CO2 flux across the membrane while maintaining very high selectivity. This mini review focuses on the recent developments of facilitated transport membranes, in particular discussing the challenges and opportunities associated with the incorporation of ionic liquids as fixed and mobile-carriers for separations of CO2 at low partial pressures (< 1 atm).

Facilitated Transport Membranes With Ionic Liquids for CO2 Separations

Adsorption isotherms are reported for pure water vapor on zeolite 13X (also called zeolite NaX) pellets. Data were obtained using a gravimetric method over a temperature range of 25 to 100 °C and a pressure range of 0.006 to 25 kPa. These pure-component equilibria are fit with the Sips, Toth, and multisite Langmuir models, all modified with the Aranovich–Donohue (A–D) model. The A–D Sips isotherm is recommended for modeling water adsorption on zeolite 13X because it provides the best agreement with the measured isotherm data.

Equilibrium Adsorption Isotherms for H2O on Zeolite 13X

A long-term goal for NASA is to enable crewed missions to Mars: first to the vicinity of Mars, and then to the Mars surface. These missions present new challenges for all aspects of spacecraft design in comparison with the International Space Station, as resupply is unavailable in the transit phase, and early return is not possible. Additionally, mass, power, and volume must be minimized for all phases to reduce propulsion needs. In this paper we describe current and planned developments in the area of carbon dioxide removal to support future crewed Mars missions. Activities are also described that apply to both the resolution of anomalies observed in the ISS CDRA and the design of life support systems for future missions.

Development of Carbon Dioxide Removal Systems for Advanced Exploration Systems 2016-2017

Environmental Control and Life Support requires highly effective CO2 removal systems. The current system onboard the International Space Station is known as Carbon Dioxide Removal Assembly. Recent high-fidelity simulation of this system predicted a major efficiency gain via reduction of desiccant zeolite. Commercial beaded 13X zeolite is used in the desiccant bed to scrub water below 1 ppm but is also a highly active CO2 sorbent. The simultaneous adsorption of water vapor and CO2 is known to strongly favor water, but more accurate measurements are needed. This work details the characterization of the zeolite to be used in the next-generation CO2 removal system for co-adsorption of water and CO2.

Co-Adsorption of Carbon Dioxide on Zeolite 13X in the Presence of Preloaded Water

In support of air revitalization system sorbent selection for future space missions, Ames Research Center (ARC) has performed CO2 capacity tests on various solid sorbents to complement structural strength tests conducted at Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC). The materials of interest are: Grace Davison Grade 544 13X, Honeywell UOP APG III, LiLSX VSA-10, BASF 13X, and Grace Davison Grade 522 5A. CO2 capacity was for all sorbent materials using a Micromeritics ASAP 2020 Physisorption Volumetric Analysis machine to produce 0 C, 10 C, 25 C, 50 C, and 75 C isotherms. These data are to be used for modeling data and to provide a basis for continued sorbent research. The volumetric analysis method proved to be effective in generating consistent and repeatable data for the 13X sorbents, but the method needs to be refined to tailor to different sorbents.

CO2 Capacity Sorbent Analysis Using Volumetric Measurement Approach

Design of advanced carbon dioxide removal systems begins with the study of sorbents. Specifically, new CO2 sorbents and desiccants need to be studied to enable greater productivity from existing and future spaceflight systems. This presentation will discuss the studies used as input for selecting future CO2 sorbent materials. Also, the adjoining issues of understanding the effects of water co-adsorption and material selection for desiccant beds will be discussed. Current sorbents for CO2 removal are based on 5A zeolites, but a transition to sorbents derived from 13X will be necessary as CO2 levels in cabin air become leaner. Unfortunately, these 13X zeolites are more susceptible to long-term performance loss due to water co-adsorption than 5A due at achievable regeneration temperatures. A study on how impactful the presence of trace water will be to the cyclic operation of small-scale beds will be discussed. Also, methods to recover the performance of beds in a space environment after a major moisture adsorption event will be discussed. The information obtained from the water co-adsorption studies will play a major part in selecting a CO2 sorbent for advanced removal systems. Pellet structural properties play another major role in the selection process. One factor for long-term, hands-off operation of a system is pellet integrity. Maintaining integrity means preventing pellet fracture and the generation of fines due to various thermal and mechanical means which would eventually clog filters or damage downstream systems. Either of these problems require significant shutdowns and maintenance operations and must be avoided. Therefore, study of high-integrity pellets and design of new pellets will be discussed.

Investigation of Desiccants and CO2 Sorbents for Advanced Exploration Systems 2015-2016

Advanced Environmental Control and Life Support System (ECLSS) design is critical for manned space flight beyond Earth. Current systems enable extended missions in low-Earth orbit, but for deep-space missions, not only will astronauts be outside the reach of resupply operations from Earth but they will also need to handle malfunctions and compensate for the degradation of materials. These two daunting challenges must be overcome for long-term independent space flight. In order to solve the first, separation and recycling of onboard atmosphere is required. Current systems utilize space vacuum to fully regenerate CO2 sorbent beds, but this is not sustainable. The second challenge stems from material and performance degradation due to operational cycling and on-board contaminants. This report will review the recent work by the ECLSS team at Marshall Space Flight Center towards overcoming these challenges by characterizing materials via novel methods and by assessing new air revitalization systems.
