Abstract

In this study, a new adsorbent was investigated for CO2 adsorption in the fixed-bed column. Poly (acrylonitrile) nanofibers were prepared by electrospinning, then grafting under gamma irradiation with glycidyl methacrylate (GMA). Then, the nanofibers were modified with ethanolamine (EA), diethylamine (DEA) and triethylamine (TEA) to adsorb carbon dioxide molecules. Dynamic adsorption experiments were performed with a mixture of CH4, CO2 in a constant bed column at ambient pressure and temperature and CO2 feed concentration (5%). The maximum adsorption capacity is 2.84 mmol/g for samples with 172.26% degree of grafting (DG) in 10 kGy. Also, the degree of amination with ethanolamine was achieved equal to 170.83%. In addition, the reduction of the regeneration temperature and the stability of this adsorbent after four cycles indicated the high performance of this adsorbent for CO2 adsorption.
