Title of Paper:Wang, Y., Du, T., Song, Y., Che, S., Fang, X., & Zhou, L. (2017). Amine-functionalized mesoporous ZSM-5 zeolite adsorbents for carbon dioxide capture. Solid State Sciences, 73, 27-35.

Summary:ZSM-5 type zeolite with mesoporous structure was prepared and then amine-functionalized with tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA) by wet impregnation method to form a series of CO2 adsorbents (ZTx). The structural properties of ZSM-5 and ZTx were characterized by XRD, FTIR, TGA/DTG, nitrogen adsorption/desorption, SEM and EDX techniques. The adsorption capacity of the adsorbents with different amine loading was measured at a temperature from 40 to 100 degrees C and the adsorption capacity of ZT7 was 1.80 mmol/g at 100 degrees C. The adsorption process and mechanism were studied by fitting the experimental data used the three adsorption kinetic models, and a complex physical and chemical mixing process was produced as the amine entered the surface and pore size of the zeolite. The high adsorption selectivity at 10% CO2 concentration and the stability of the five adsorption desorption cycles indicated that ZT7 is a suitable and promising CO2 adsorbent for the purification of industrial flue gas.
