Abstract:

Carbon dioxide emission is one of the main causes of global warming. Therefore, it is essential to capture CO2 from fuel gases. To tackle this problem different methods are available. Among them, metal organic frameworks (MOFs) as a novel solid sorbents are very useful and proper for gas separation, especially CO2 adsorption. Normally, MOFs are produced in powder form and for industry application; this powder form should be changed to the form of pellets, monoliths, foams, etc. This research demonstrates a common method for producing energy saving monolithic structure MOF and its characterization for industrial applications. MIL-53(AI) is the MOF that have been chosen for this research, the effect of this new MOF on CO2 adsorption was evaluated. MIL-53(AI) monolith was produced via paste extrusion techniques by using the synthesized MIL-53(AI) powder. These MOFs were characterized by using powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD). Adsorption properties of MIL-53 (AI) monoliths and powder were investigated via dynamic adsorption breakthrough curves and their pure CO2 sorption isotherms. Results have shown that CO2 adsorption capacity increased at higher pressure and lower temperature for both powder MIL-53 (AI) and monolith. Adsorption flow breakthrough experiments have shown that MIL-53 (AI) monoliths can be regenerated at 150ºC for adsorption runs without loss of performance.
