Abstract

Carbon dioxide, as a great part of greenhouse gases, stands as a major contributor to climate change; hence, various techniques have been presented for controlling and decreasing CO2 emissions. The studies show that the adsorption and conversion into environmentally benign substances are the most practical and efficient strategies for this purpose. As amines are active in CO2 adsorption, N-(2-aminoethyl)-3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane was chosen as an amine group to functionalize MCM-41 mesoporous in order to hydrate CO2 and convert to calcium carbonate in this study. The synthesis of the mesoporous materials and amine functionalization were carried out using the wet impregnation method, and the materials were characterized by XRD, FT-IR, SEM, and BET analysis. The results demonstrated a high adsorption capacity (165 mg CaCO3) due to the presence of the -NH2 group in the catalysts. Moreover, the results have been compared with similar mesoporous materials functionalized with metals for CO2 capture and hydration. The adsorption-desorption isotherm corresponded to type IV, as defined in the IUPAC classification.
