The latest development on amine functionalized solid adsorbents for post-combustion CO2 capture: Analysis review

Abstract Global warming and associated global climate change have led to serious efforts towards reducing CO2 emissions through the CO2 capture from the major emission sources. CO2 capture using the amine functionalized adsorbents is regard as a direct and effective way to reducing CO2 emissions due to their large CO2 adsorption amount, excellent CO2 adsorption selectivity and lower energy requirements for adsorbent regeneration. Moreover, large number of achievements on the amine functionalized solid adsorbent have been recorded for the enhanced CO2 capture in the past few years. In view of this, we review and analyze the recent advances in amine functionalized solid adsorbents prepared with different supporting materials including mesoporous silica, zeolite, porous carbon materials, metal organic frameworks(MOF) and other composite porous materials. In addition, amine functionalized solid adsorbents derived from waste resources are also reviewed because of the large number demand for cost-effective carbon dioxide adsorbents and the processing needs of waste resources. Considering the importance of the stability of the adsorbent in practical applications, advanced research in the capture cycle stability has also been summarized and analyzed. Finally, we summarize the review and offer the recommendations for the development of amine-based solid adsorbents for carbon dioxide capture.
