Amino-functionalized Zr-MOF (amino-Zr-MOF) was synthesized using 2-aminoterephthalic acid as an organic linker. The physicochemical properties of the material were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and N 2 adsorption to understand its crystalline structure, morphology, thermal stability, and porous structure. CO 2 adsorption isotherms on amino-Zr-MOF were obtained at 1 atm and at different temperatures. In addition, CO 2 and CH 4 adsorption at high pressure (up to 10 atm) was also measured. CO 2 adsorption capacity on amino-Zr-MOF was 9 mmol/g at 988 kPa, 0 • C, while CH 4 adsorption capacity was 3.7 mmol/g at 900 kPa, 0 • C. The heat of CO 2 adsorption on amino-Zr-MOF was estimated to be 29.4 kJ/mol. Continuous column tests of CO 2 adsorption were performed at different concentrations of CO 2 in nitrogen at 20 mL/min and 0.7 g adsorbent and total adsorbed amounts of CO 2 within the column during the breakthrough time were calculated to be 4.55, 5.26 and 4.37 mmol/g at 10%, 15% and 20%CO 2 , respectively.
