In the present work, zirconium-doped metal oxide of TiO 2 (Zr N ) was synthesized and functionalized with different amount of tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA). The physical properties of the materials were tested using temperatureprogrammed desorption of NH 3 , X-ray diffractometer, X-ray photoelectron spectrometer, scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscope, energy dispersion spectrum, Inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy, Infrared spectrometer, N 2 adsorption-desorption analyzer, energy dispersion spectrum and thermogravimetric analyzer. Zr species has a positive effect on the enhancement of the thermal stability and amine utilization. After the introduction of Zr, the decomposition temperature of TEPA is improved to 180℃. Over TEPA decorated adsorbents, physical adsorption and chemical adsorption occurs simultaneously. When the adsorption time is 75℃, CO 2 flow rate is 20 mL/min, the adsorbent of TEPA(40)/TiO 2 (Zr 0.1 ) exhibit a remarkable amine utilization of 83.5%.
In the present study, a new type of material of Zr-TSCD was first synthesized and modified with different amounts of triethylenetetramine (TETA). The properties of the adsorbents were characterised with X-ray diffraction, UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, FT-IR spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, N2 adsorption–desorption, energy dispersion spectrum, and thermogravimetric analysis. The results suggested that Zr-TSCD (TSCD=Na3C6H5O7·2H2O) was successfully synthesized through the coordination of Zr atoms from ZrOCl2·8H2O and O species in –COO– groups. After functionalization with TETA, the structure of Zr-TSCD was preserved and the adsorption capacity of CO2 was enhanced dramatically. At 75°C, TETA(30)/Zr-TSCD achieved a maximum absorption capacity of 175.1mg g−1 in a stream of 10mL min−1 CO2. The adsorption capacity ratio of CO2/N2, CO2/O2, and CO2/SO2 was 10.5, 7.4, and 1.2, respectively. In addition, the adsorption capacity of CO2 remained stable during 10 adsorption–desorption cycles.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
