The present study was carried out to perform the characterization of commercial quicklime as CO2 absorbent and Ni powder as catalyst. The chemical composition of the materials perform using x-ray fluorescence (XRF) indicated high amount of CaO and Ni in the bulk samples. Using XRF and SEM analyses, it was found that both materials showed high crystalinity. The adsorption isotherm from physisorption analysis suggested that the materials exhibits Type II category according to the IUPAC classification scheme. These types of material exhibit mesoporous structure which was also verified by the pore size of the samples found via BET analysis. The BET surface area reported was 4.16 m2/g and 0.78 m2/g for quicklime and Ni powder, respectively. In conclusion, commercial quicklime has the potential as CO2 absorbent, based on the pore size and surface area. Conversely, the surface properties of the Ni powder were found relatively lower as compared to other commercial catalysts available for biomass steam gasification. © (2014) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland. date: 2014 publisher: Trans Tech Publications Ltd official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84904060175&doi=10.4028%2fwww.scientific.net%2fAMR.917.283&partnerID=40&md5=2822a8699d4cc41933886f3c04fece3d id_number: 10.4028/www.scientific.net/AMR.917.283 full_text_status: none publication: Advanced Materials Research volume: 917 place_of_pub: Kuala Lumpur pagerange: 283-291 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9783038350521 issn: 10226680 citation: Khan, Z. and Yusup, S. and Ahmad, M.M.
