Evaluation of a Primary Amine-Functionalized Ion-Exchange Resin for CO2 Capture
A primary amine-functionalized polymeric ion-exchange resin (Lewatit VP OC 1065, Lanxess) was evaluated for use in CO, capture applications. The polymeric resin was characterized by SEM, DRIFTS-IR, N-2 adsorption isotherms, and packed bed sorption measurements to determine some of the characteristic properties of the resin. Capture capacities ranging from 1.85 to 1.15 mol CO2/kg sorbent were obtained in a packed bed reactor exposed to 10 vol % CO2 in N-2 at adsorption temperatures ranging from 30 to 70 degrees C. The capture capacity of the resin was stable over 18 adsorption/regeneration cycles. The resin was evaluated through thermogravimetric analysis to have a low moisture adsorption (1.5 mol H2O/kg sorbent). It is possible to completely regenerate the resin under 1 atm of CO2 at 200 degrees C.
