A series of MgO-based adsorbents were prepared through solution-combustion synthesis and ball-milling process. The prepared MgO-based powders were characterized using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, N physisorption measurements, and employed as potential adsorbents for CO adsorption. The influence of structural and textural properties of these adsorbents over the CO adsorption behaviour was also investigated. The results showed that MgO-based products prepared by solution-combustion and ball-milling processes, were highly porous, fluffy, nanocrystalline structures in nature, which are unique physico-chemical properties that significantly contribute to enhance their CO adsorption. It was found that the MgO synthesized by solution combustion process, using a molar ratio of urea to magnesium nitrate (2:1), and treated by ball-milling during 2.5hr (MgO-BM2.5h), exhibited the maximum COadsorption capacity of 1.611mmol/g at 25°C and 1atm, mainly via chemisorption. The CO adsorption behaviour on the MgO-based adsorbents was correlated to their improved specific surface area, total pore volume, pore size distribution and crystallinity. The reusability of synthesized MgO-BM2.5h was confirmed by five consecutive CO adsorption-desorption times, without any significant loss of performance, that supports the potential of MgO-based adsorbent. The results confirmed that the special features of MgO prepared by solution-combustion and treated by ball-milling during 2.5hr are favorable to be used as effective MgO-based adsorbent in post-combustion CO capture technologies.

MgO has broad application potential in CO capture at intermedium temperatures. In this paper, the effects of NaNO doping on the properties of MgO prepared by using waste bischofite as the raw material were investigated to improve the performance of the CO capture. MgO-doped NaNO exhibited excellent CO capture performance at 320 °C with a maximum adsorption capacity of 36.

In this study, the magnesium oxide (MgO)-based adsorbents [granulated MgO aggregates (GA-MgO) and surface-modified MgO powder (SM-MgO)] were developed to remediate a fluoride-contaminated groundwater site. Both GA-MgO and SM-MgO had porous, spherical, and crystalline structures. Diameters for GA-MgO and SM-MgO were 1-1.

Novel doped MgO nanoadsorbents were effectively fabricated at various BiO doping concentrations (0, 2.5, 5 and 10%). DFT-D3 study showed that the doping is done by substitution of two magnesium atoms by two bismuth atoms with the creation of a vacancy of one Mg atom.

The optimization of MgO-based adsorbents as advanced CO -capture materials is predominantly focused on their molten-salt modification, for which theoretical and experimental contributions provide great insights for their high CO -capture performance. The underlying mechanism of the promotion effect of the molten salt on CO capture, however, is a topic of controversy. Herein, advanced experimental characterization techniques, including in situ environmental transmission electron microscopy (eTEM) and CO chemisorption by diffuse-reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS), transient O-isotopic exchange, and density functional theory (DFT), are employed to elucidate the mechanism of the CO interaction with molten-salt-modified MgO in the 250-400 °C range.
