THEORETICAL STUDY OF CO2:N2 ADSORPTION IN FAUJASITE IMPREGNATED WITH MONOETHANOLAMINE

Abstract Many efforts have been made to develop amine-based solid adsorbents for capture of CO2 by adsorption. Compared with the traditional process of absorption in aqueous solutions of amines, the adsorbents with amine immobilized in solids generally result in processes with lower capital and energy costs. The literature contains some experimental studies of CO2 adsorption in impregnated materials; however, few studies are devoted to the theoretical interpretation of this system in terms of CO2 capture for post-combustion (N2 mixture with a low partial pressure of CO2). Therefore, this study...
