Abstract
The standard procedures followed to test and characterise a range of LDH based adsorbents and catalysts are described. The use of a thermogravimetric analyser and the design and operation of a packed bed column used to carry out CO2 adsorption measurements are explained in detail. In addition, the experimental setup used to conduct a preliminary screening of catalysts for the sorption-enhanced methanol-to-shift reaction is presented.

Notes
- 1.
The adsorption capacities reported are working capacities rather than equilibrium values since longer equilibration times were not practical for the studies conducted. However, it is expected that the capacities measured are close to the thermodynamic values (see Sect. 3.2.1.2).
- 2.
The space velocity is defined as volumetric flow rate of the CO2 premixed gas divided by the mass of adsorbent.
- 3.
Typically the water flow rate was set to 0.02 mL min−1.
- 4.
Typically the water flow rate was set to 0.397 mL h−1.
- 5.
All the carbon containing molecules in the feed contain one carbon.
