Sustainable functionalized metal-organic framework NH2-MIL-101(Al) for CO2 separation under cryogenic conditions

2021

In this study, a sustainable NH₂-MIL-101(Al) is synthesized and subjected to characterization for cryogenic CO₂ adsorption, isotherms, and thermodynamic study. The morphology revealed a highly porous surface. The XRD showed that NH₂-MIL-101(Al) was crystalline. The NH₂-MIL-101(Al) decomposes at a temperature (>500 °C) indicating excellent thermal stability. The BET investigation revealed the specific surface area of 2530 m²/g and the pore volume of 1.32 cm³/g. The CO₂ adsorption capacity was found to be 9.55 wt% to 2.31 wt% within the investigated temperature range. The isotherms revealed the availability of adsorption sites with favorable adsorption at lower temperatures indicating the thermodynamically controlled process. The thermodynamics showed that the process is non-spontaneous, endothermic, with fewer disorders, chemisorption. Finally, the breakthrough time of NH₂-MIL-101(Al) is 31.25% more than spherical glass beads. The CO₂ captured by the particles was 2.29 kg m⁻³. The CO₂ capture using glass packing was 121% less than NH₂-MIL-101(Al) under similar conditions of temperature and pressure.
