To achieve an economical and effective approach of CO2 capture

design of novel adsorbents for post-combustion CO2 adsorption has important significance. To improve CO2 adsorption capacity

two methods of wet impregnation and surface grafting have been used recently. "Mixed-amine" concept was proposed and these two methods were combined in this paper. 3-Aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (APTS) was first grafted onto the surface of SBA-15 and then polyethylenimine (PEI) was impregnated into the space of pores. This novel adsorbent possessed a very high density of amine groups. The structural property

CO2 adsorption capacity and amine efficiency of mixed-amine functionalized SBA-15 with different ratios of APTS and PEI were investigated. The CO2 adsorption result showed that the performance of mixed-amine functionalized SBA-15 depended on kinetic diffusion. SBA-15-(APTS-0.5-PEI-50)

SBA-15-(APTS-1.0-PEI-50) and SBA-15-(APTS-2.0-PEI-30) could be identified as potential adsorbents at 75℃. The amine efficiency of mixed-amine functionalized SBA-15 was between purely impregnated and grafted ones.
