Abstract:
... The efficient capture of CO₂ is a critical problem for porous adsorbents. The inadequacy of conventional adsorbents has low adsorption capacity towards CO₂ removal. Metal organic frame work has been considered as very effective for CO₂ adsorption as it shows higher rate of CO₂ adsorption at room temperature. In conventional amine processes, a comparatively high energy penalty is required, whereas ...
