Adsorção de CO2 em peneiras moleculares micro e mesoporosas

Microporous molecular sieves of type Y, Beta, ZSM-5, ZSM-12 and ZSM-35, and mesoporous molecular sieves of type MCM-41 and MCM-48, and these sieves modified with triethanolamine and ethylenediamine were obtained and characterized by XRD, FTIR, TGA and nitrogen adsorption. The adsorption tests were performed by the gravimetric method under a stream of CO2 at ambient temperature and pressure. The adsorbents studied showed maximum adsorption capacity of carbon dioxide in the range of 13.1 to 85.5 mg of CO2 per gram of adsorbent.
