Tóm tắt

Four nanoporous carbons obtained from different polymers: polypyrrole, polyvinylidene fluoride, sulfonated styrene–divinylbenzene resin, and phenol–formaldehyde resin, were investigated as potential adsorbents for carbon dioxide. CO2 adsorption isotherms measured at eight temperatures between 0 and 60 °C were used to study adsorption properties of these polymer-derived carbons, especially CO2 uptakes at ambient pressure and different temperatures, working capacity, and isosteric heat of adsorption. The specific surface areas and the volumes of micropores and ultramicropores estimated for these materials by using the density functional theory-based software for pore size analysis ranged from 840 to 1990 m2 g−1, from 0.22 to 1.47 cm3 g−1, and from 0.18 to 0.64 cm3 g−1, respectively. The observed differences in the nanoporosity of these carbons had a pronounced effect on the CO2 adsorption properties. The highest CO2 uptakes, 6.92 mmol g−1 (0 °C, 1 atm) and 1.89 mmol g−1 (60 °C, 1 atm), were obtained for the polypyrrole-derived activated carbon prepared through a single carbonization-KOH activation step. The working capacity for this adsorbent was estimated to be 3.70 mmol g−1. Depending on the adsorbent, the CO2 isosteric heats of adsorption varied from 32.9 to 16.3 kJ mol−1 in 0–2.5 mmol g−1 range. Overall, the carbons studied showed well-developed microporosity and exceptional CO2 adsorption, which make them viable candidates for CO2 capture, and for other adsorption and environmental-related applications.
