Synergistic effect of H2O and SO2 on the cyclic capture of CO2 was studied by a homemade thermostatic thermogravimetric system, and combined with the pore size of the absorbent, the mechanism analysis was carried out.Results show that H2O in the carbonation atmosphere can accelerate the reaction rate of the fast reaction stage of carbonation, and improve the pore structure of CaO particle and the conversion rate of carbonation. SO2 in the carbonation atmosphere can hinder CO2 capture and reduce the conversion rate of carbonation, and the conversion rate decreases more obviously in the cycle process. When H2O and SO2 act synergically in the carbonation process, the calcium cycling characteristics may be affected by the synergistic effect of H2O and SO2. When H2O volume fraction increases from 0% to 20% with 0.05% volume fraction of SO2, the absorbent pore volume gradually increases and CO2 capture capacity can be improved.With the addition of 10% volume fraction of H2O, when the volume fraction of SO2 increases from 0% to 0.1%, the pore clogging of absorbent becomes more serious and CO2 capture capacity decreases. However, the carbonation conversion rate still remain a higher value than that without H2O. Synergistic effect of H2O and SO2 mainly reflects in that H2O could weaken the hindering effect of SO2 on CO2 capture, thereby improving the carbonation conversion rate of absorbent.
