Anthropogenic gas of CO2 level was higher than CO2 atmospheric safety limit of 350 ppm since 80’s. It can be assumed that CO2 level growth directly proportional to the population and development. Hence, studies on CO2 capture have been extensively established in between year of 2000-2010. Metal oxide can be a good adsorbent but it has the weakness in surface area and sintered after regeneration process. Thus, activated carbon was used to enhance the surface area which mainly responsible for physical adsorption. Fe2O3 supported on activated carbon (Fe2O3/AC) were prepared by impregnation method and used for CO2 adsorption-desorption studies. The XRD result shows that precursor of ferric nitrate used to impregnated on AC (activated carbon) support was directly dissociated to Fe2O3 metal oxide by thermal treatment under N2 atmosphere temperature at 450 °C. The loading amount of Fe2O3 by weight ratio affect the textural properties and CO2 capturing capacity. The surface area and pore volume of the catalyst decrease with the loading of Fe2O3. Highest Fe2O3 loading shows greater amount chemically adsorbed of CO2. Nevertheless, it drastically reduced the surface area of the AC, which is chiefly responsible for CO2 physisorption, thus decreasing the carrying capacity of ACs at 25 °C. The 20Fe2O3/AC was found to be optimum loading for better physi and chemisorptions of CO2.
Abstract. Silica dioxide catalyst (SiO 2 ) can be modified by impregnating amine-containing compounds to improve the CO 2 adsorption capacity. Four type of amines, i.e., monoethanolamine (MEA), diethanolamine (DEA), triethanolamine (TEA) and octadecylamine (ODA) were supported on silica dioxide particles. The amine-modified samples were characterized using FTIR, BET and FESEM. All the prepared solid sorbents exhibited type IV isotherm with hysteresis loop. Specific surface areas of the sorbents were significantly reduced due to blocking of micropores and mesopores by the amine compounds. Reactivity of solid sorbents towards CO 2 was evaluated using isothermal CO 2 adsorption by BET. CO 2 adsorption capacity increased with the weight percent of amine compounds loaded onto the SiO 2 . 15 and 25 wt % MEA/SiO 2 and 25 wt % ODA/SiO 2 sorbents showed greater CO 2 adsorption capacities compared to the virgin sample (SiO 2 ). This study shows that the order of adsorption capacity for the four types of amines was MEA (4.05 wt % CO 2 /adsorbent) > ODA (2.45 wt % CO 2 /adsorbent) > DEA (1.71 wt % CO 2 /adsorbent) > TEA (0.91 wt % CO 2 /adsorbent). CO 2 uptakes by ODA/SiO 2 sorbents were higher than DEA/SiO 2 and TEA/SiO 2 is mainly due to their smaller pore volume and pore width of the adsorbent, therefore, greater interactions of CO 2 -ODA in pores. MEA/SiO 2 has the highest ability in capturing CO 2 because of the increasing steric hindrance of long chain ODA and alkyl substituent on DEA and TEA.
The priority of success in practical CO2 capture with solid sorbents is dependent on the development of a low cost sorbent and energy consumption for regeneration with high adsorption capacity. In this work, different loading of NiO were evaluated as a potential source of basic sites for CO2 capture, and activated carbon (AC) was used as a preliminary support in order to study the effect of the impregnation. The NiO loading increased the basicity of the adsorbent significantly enhance the CO2 chemisorption. Nonetheless, it drastically reduced the surface area of the AC, which is chiefly responsible for CO2 physisorption, thus decreasing the carrying capacity of ACs at room temperature and pressure.
Oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB) is one of the lignocellulosic materials which very well known as an abundant waste at oil mills and need to be utilized. The nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) was extracted from OPEFB fiber through several of chemical treatment and hydrolyzed with sulphuric acid (H2SO4). NCC acts as support to modify with aminosilane, N-(2-aminoethyl)-3-aminopropylmethyldimethoxy silane (AEAPDMS) which has possibility for carbon dioxide (CO2) capture. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of NCC properties after modified with AEAPDMS. The raw OPEFB fiber, cellulose, NCC and modified NCC were characterized by attenuated total reflectance-fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), x-ray diffraction (XRD) but the morphology and the size of NCC was studied by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The NCC treated with AEAPDMS was proved by FTIR with the emerging of several new peaks especially for NH2 bending and wagging around 1600 cm-1 and 798 cm-1, respectively. While, the XRD result showed the CrI of modified NCC decreased to 64 % from 76 % after the treatment due to the interaction of silanization occurred during the treatment since AEAPDMS has amorphous region. The NCC used in this study was classed as nanomaterial within nanosize and rod-like morphology observed by TEM analysis. Thus, these results give a good possibility for the AEAPDMS modified NCC to capture CO2 via covalent bonding.
