Abstract:In order to improve the adsorption capacity and selectivity of CO 2 /CH 4 and CO 2 /N 2 , we have functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES). The functionalized MWCNT was characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and BET analysis. CO 2 , CH 4 and N 2 adsorption at two different temperatures and P < 5 bar on the functionalized MWCNTs was investigated by the volumetric method. The selectivity of the function… Show more
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.
