Adsorption of CO2 was investigated over a wide range of conditions on a series of mesoporous silica adsorbents comprised of conventional MCM-41, pore-expanded MCM-41 silica (PE-MCM-41) and triamine surface-modified PE-MCM-41 (TRI-PE-MCM-41). The isosteric heat of adsorption, calculated from adsorption isotherms at different temperatures (298-328 K), showed a significant increase in CO2-adsorbent interaction after amine functionnalization of PE-MCM-41, consistent with the high CO2 uptake in the very low range of CO2 concentration. The CO2 adsorption isotherm and kinetics data showed the high potential of TRI-PE-MCM-41 material for CO2 removal in gas purification and separation applications. With TRI-PE-MCM-41, the CO2 selectivity over N-2 was drastically improved over a wide range of conditions compared to pure mesoporous silica. Moreover, the adsorption was reversible and fast, and the adsorbent was thermally stable and tolerant to moisture.
