Synthesis of Stable Tetraethylenepentamine-Functionalized Mesocellular Silica Foams for CO2 Adsorption

Synthesis of Stable Tetraethylenepentamine-Functionalized Mesocellular Silica Foams for CO2 Adsorption

Various amounts of tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA) loading on mesocellular silica foams (TEPA-MSF-x) were fabricated via a chemical grafting method in this study. The performance of dry 15%   adsorption on the TEPA-MSF-x was tested by a microbalance at 348 K under ambient pressure. Experimentally, ad...

The performance of dry 15%   adsorption on the TEPA-MSF-x was tested by a microbalance at 348 K under ambient pressure. Experimentally, adsorption capacities of the TEPA-MSF-x sorbents were found to be 28.5–66.7 mg /g-sorbent. In addition, TEPA-MSF-x sorbents exhibited enhanced durability during repeated adsorption-desorption cycles compared to the conventional sorbents prepared by a physical impregnation method. This significant enhancement in the stability of adsorption-desorption process was most likely due to the decreased leaching of TEPA which is covalently tethered to the surface of MSF.http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2013/651901
