Development of composite amine functionalized polyester microspheres for efficient CO2 capture
In order to reduce the impact of greenhouse gases on the environment, the development of various new CO 2 capture materials has become a hot spot. In this work, a novel composite amine solid adsorbent was prepared by simultaneously using tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA) and 2-[2-(dimethylamino) ethoxy] ethanol (DMAEE) for amine functionalization on the polyester microsphere carrier. The introduction of methyl methacrylate (MMA) with high glass transition temperature into the polyester carrier makes the carrier microspheres have high hardness. At the same time, the carrier also contains active epoxy groups and hydrophobic glycidyl methacrylate (GMA, which can undergo ring-opening reaction with composite amines to achieve high-load and low-energy chemical grafting of amines on the carrier. The composite aminated polyester microspheres were used as an efficient adsorbent for CO 2 in simulated flue gas. The results show that the synergistic effect of TEPA-DMAEE composite amine system in the adsorbent is beneficial to the improvement of CO 2 capture capacity. When the total amine content in the impregnating solution is 45 wt% and the composite amine ratio is TEPA: DMAEE = 6: 4, the CO 2 adsorption capacity can reach the optimal value of 2.45 mmol/ g at 70 °C. In addition, the composite amine microsphere adsorbent has cyclic regeneration performance. Importantly, through kinetic fitting, the Avrami kinetic model fits the CO 2 adsorption better than the quasi-first-order and quasi-second-order kinetic models, which proves that physical adsorption and chemical adsorption coexist in the adsorption process. This simple, long-term stable and excellent selective separation performance makes amine-functionalized adsorbents have potential application prospects in CO 2 capture. Graphical abstract
