Carbon Dioxide Adsorption in the Alkylamine-Appended Metal-Organic Framework mmen-Mg2(dobpdc)

摘要

Currently, there is significant interest in the development and implementation of technologies that slow CO2 emissions and thus forestall the most severe consequences of global warming. For limiting future CO2 emissions from large, stationary sources like coal-fired power plants, carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) has been proposed. There is significant interest in the development of solid adsorbents that selectively adsorb CO2 at partial pressures applicable to CCS. Solid adsorbents are promising candidates because the significantly smaller heat capacities of solids may reduce the sensible heat required for regeneration. In addition, solvent loss and corrosion issues resulting from the use of aqueous amines would be minimized if solids adsorbents were instead utilized.
