Abstract
A bi-modal porous structure MCM-41 (BPS-MCM-41) was synthesized and functionalized by 3-[2-(2-Aminoethylamino)ethylamino]propyltrimethoxysilane (TRI); also, its performance in amine grafting and CO2 capturing was compared with that of pore-expanded MCM-41 [1]. To create larger pores beside the mesoporous structure of MCM-41, carbon black nanoparticles were used as the solid template. Characterizing the BPS-MCM-41 using the BET and BJH techniques resulted in the surface reduction of 29.3 percent and volume increase of 68.46 percent. The pore size distribution showed two peaks: a narrow peak at 2.24 nm diameter, which belonged to micelles, and a wide one at about 50 nm due to the presence of used nanoparticles. The functionalization confirmed that BPS-MCM-41 is capable of accommodating a large quantity of amine groups. The CO2 adsorption measurement indicated that internal volume of the adsorbent was a critical factor affecting the adsorption capacity of the amine grafted adsorbents.
