Carbon Dioxide Adsorbent Preparation by Coating Amine-Functionalized Pectin onto Zeolites

Abstract:

Increasing carbon dioxide (CO₂) levels in the atmosphere caused by excessive greenhouse gas emissions is strongly associated to global warming and climate change. This study aims to prove the feasibility of using pectin as the backbone for amine functionalization with application as coating on zeolites for carbon dioxide capture. Characterization of the solutions using FTIR and of the adsorbents using SEM demonstrated the successful modification of pectin using NH₃ and TETA as alternative amine-functionalized coating for adsorbent. It has been reported for the first time that the polysaccharide pectin can be aminated and modified for CO₂ capture upon coated on substrates such as zeolites. The adsorption capacities at 5% breakthrough of the adsorbents coated with the modified pectin are 2.24 mmol/CO₂ g adsorbent and 2.28 mmol/CO₂ g adsorbent, when coated with NH₃-modified and TETA-modified pectin, respectively. It is recommended for further study to synthesize substrates with higher surface area, and optimize the formulations of the pectin modification.
