“…Novel strategies must be developed to not only resolve the environmental problems arising from global warming but also reduce carbon emission at the source. In addition, it is important to devise new technologies and design novel materials that can be used as a media to capture CO2 effectively [7][8][9][10].…”

Porous Aromatic Melamine Schiff Bases as Highly Efficient Media for Carbon Dioxide Storage

et al. 2019

High energy demand has led to excessive fuel consumption and high-concentration CO2 production. CO2 release causes serious environmental problems such as the rise in the Earth’s temperature, leading to global warming. Thus, chemical industries are under severe pressure to provide a solution to the problems associated with fuel consumption and to reduce CO2 emission at the source. To this effect, herein, four highly porous aromatic Schiff bases derived from melamine were investigated as potential media for CO2 capture. Since these Schiff bases are highly aromatic, porous, and have a high content of heteroatoms (nitrogen and oxygen), they can serve as CO2 storage media. The surface morphology of the Schiff bases was investigated through field emission scanning electron microscopy, and their physical properties were determined by gas adsorption experiments. The Schiff bases had a pore volume of 0.005–0.036 cm3/g, an average pore diameter of 1.69–3.363 nm, and a small Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface area (5.2–11.6 m2/g). The Schiff bases showed remarkable CO2 uptake (up to 2.33 mmol/g; 10.0 wt%) at 323 K and 40 bars. The Schiff base containing the 4-nitrophenyl substituent was the most efficient medium for CO2 adsorption and, therefore, can be used as a gas sorbent.

“…This is due to reduced cost of production, large surface area, ease of modification of pores, good thermal and chemical stability, hydrophobic nature, stability in the presence of heat and chemical resistance [88]. AC shows promising potential for practical applications in terms of balance of performance [89] considering cost of production, benign effect on the environment, availability of precursor materials [90,91] and sustainability [92] and have been reported to exhibit reusability, promising adsorption kinetics [26] and stability after several sorption cycles [63], requiring low regeneration energy [93]. A key determinant of the adsorption performance of AC is the type of precursor used in its synthesis.…”

“…They include bamboo [94], petroleum coke [95], rice husk char [26] wood [96], coconut shell [97], sugarcane bagasse [91], argan fruit shells [98], pinewood shavings char, biochar [89] etc. Amongst these precursors, biochar stands out as it exhibits high porosity and a high amount of fixed carbon that can be processed to AC with high microporosity [89]. Therefore, biochar precursors should receive further investigation in its use for the production of AC for gas sequestration.…”

Adsorbents such as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), polymers, activated carbon (AC), and membranes are becoming prominent for CO2, SO2, H2S and NH3 capture and in some cases, storage. Using the standard adsorbent properties (SAPs) such as adsorption capacity, selectivity, permeability/permeance, regenerability and reusability, ease of functionability and tunability, thermal and chemical stability, suitable candidates for noxious gas sequestration can be determined. To foster the development and selection of a more efficient adsorbent, proper documentation of adsorbent performance in terms of SAPs is crucial. In this study, a critical review of metal-organic framework (MOF), polymer, activated carbon (AC) and membrane adsorbents was performed. Using the SAPs, an up to date comparative analysis was done to select the best performing adsorbents. The results of the comparative analysis were then used to categorize the adsorbents' suitability for pre-combustion and post-combustion applications. A perspective of future study on adsorbents for noxious gas sequestration was also presented.

“…However, it cannot fully replace fossil fuels in the near future. The reduction of CO 2 concentration in the environment through its capture is an important strategy [5]. Various inexpensive materials have been designed to act as storage media for CO 2 [6][7][8][9][10].…”

Synthesis and use of carvedilol metal complexes as carbon dioxide storage media

et al. 2020

The consequences of increased fossil fuel consumption on the environment presents a challenge. Carbon dioxide capture is a useful technique to reduce global warming. Therefore, three carvedilol metal (nickel, cobalt, and copper) complexes were synthesized as potential carbon dioxide storage media. The structural and textural properties of metal carvedilol complexes have been established using various techniques. The metal complexes have mesoporous structures in which pore size was approximately 3 nm. Particle size ranged from 51.0 to 393.9 nm with a relatively small surface area (6.126–9.073 m2/g). The carvedilol metal complexes have either type-III or IV nitrogen adsorption–desorption isotherm. The complexes showed reasonable capacity towards carbon dioxide uptake (up to 18.21 cm3/g) under the optimized condition (40 bar and 323 K). Graphical Abstract
