Summary: The thermoresponsive nanofiber-based solid amine adsorbent showed high CO2 capture capacity with low regeneration temperature, compared to traditional amine adsorbents. The synergy of thermoresponsive property and hydroxyl groups in TRCNF/PEIA facilitated complete CO2 desorption at lower temperature of 60 degrees C, while maintaining high adsorption capacity.

Summary: Adsorbents made from amine-functionalized cellulose were studied for SO2 capture, showing a significantly higher adsorption capacity compared to pristine nanocrystalline cellulose. The effects of functionalization time, temperature, and amount of amine were assessed, and the adsorption mechanism for SO2 capture was confirmed. The study also investigated the impact of different operating adsorption temperatures and flow rates on the capture capacity and breakthrough time of SO2.

Summary: Post-combustion carbon dioxide capture using inexpensive and highly efficient materials is an effective approach to reduce industrial CO2 emissions. In this study, sepiolite-based adsorbents impregnated with pentaethylenehexamine (PEHA) were prepared and comprehensively characterized. The optimal H-P-0.9 adsorbent demonstrated a adsorption capacity of 2.47 mmol/g at 50 degrees C with good regeneration. Breakthrough adsorption experiments showed that it had a higher adsorption capacity of 2.94 mmol/g at 50 degrees C (with 5% H2O) compared to other sepiolite sorbents. The CO2 capture process involved chemisorption and physisorption, and appropriate moisture enhanced the adsorption performance. The in-situ DRIFTs results revealed an anion cation mechanism, with CO2 being converted to carbamate. Economic evaluation showed that the adsorbent could capture 1 t CO2 at a low price of 2.0 x 105 $.

Summary: In this study, the stability of a resin-based solid amine sorbent in a circulating fluidized bed temperature swing adsorption (CFB-TSA) process was evaluated. Thermal degradation, CO2-induced degradation and oxidative degradation were identified as possible types of degradation. The presence of water molecules was found to alleviate oxidative and CO2-induced degradation.

Summary: Different amines were evaluated for their effects on the stability of CO2 adsorbents in dry and wet oxygen environments. Amines with high molecular weight and long chain alkyl linkers demonstrated higher resistance to oxygen. Additionally, the presence of steam was found to affect the oxidative degradation of amine-based CO2 sorbents depending on the amine structure.

Summary: An alternative method for determining degradation rates of adsorbents in post-combustion CO2 capture has been developed and validated. The study found that the degradation rates in the desorber were three times higher than in the adsorber. Laboratory degradation experiments can be used to optimize process operations or screen for new adsorbents.

Summary: Self-supported branched poly(ethyleneimine) scaffolds with continuous and interconnected porosity are synthesized using ice templating at two different temperatures. XPS and elemental analysis show that the scaffolds synthesized at -196℃ have a lower degree of crosslinking and retained more primary and secondary amines compared to those synthesized at -78℃. By varying the cycle time in alternate CO2-SO2 adsorption-desorption cycles, it is demonstrated that the ideal CO2/SO2 selectivity can be improved by a factor of 10, utilizing the transient kinetic selectivity. The mechanism of SO2 adsorption is suggested to involve the protonation of amines and the tethering of SO2 to the oxygen atom of the beta-amino alcohol formed during the crosslinking of poly(ethyleneimine).

Summary: The study investigated the effects of H2O and O2 on the CO2 adsorption performance of CNT-PEI, finding that H2O had the highest adsorption energy and diffusion coefficient, leading to increased CO2 capacity. O2 had a minor impact on CO2 capacity for fresh adsorbent, but its oxidation effect on amino groups was significant, prolonging desorption time.
