CO{sub 2} capture by polyethylenimine-modified fibrous adsorbent
- Sun Yat Sen University, Guangzhou (China)
This work focuses on developing a novel adsorbent for CO{sub 2} capture, by coating polyethylenimine (PEI) on glass fiber matrix and using epichlorohydrin (ECH) as cross-linking agent. The physicochemical properties of the fibrous adsorbent were characterized. The CO{sub 2} adsorption capacity was evaluated. Factors that affect the adsorption capacity of the fibrous adsorbent were studied. The experimental results show that this fibrous PEI adsorbent exhibits a much higher adsorption capacity for CO{sub 2} compared with another PEI fiber prepared in our previous work, which employed epoxy resin as the cross-linking agent. A CO{sub 2} adsorption capacity as high as 4.12 mmol CO{sub 2}/g of adsorbent was obtained for this fibrous PEI adsorbent at 30{sup o}C, equal to 13.56 mmol CO{sub 2}/g of PEI, with a PEI/ECH ratio of 20:1. The adsorbent can be completely regenerated at 120{sup o}C.
