The objective of this study was to develop a novel solid amine adsorbent using porous polyacrylonitrile resin instead of mesoporous silica as support for CO
2
adsorption from flue gas. This solid amine adsorbent was prepared by a suspension polymerization of divinylbenzene (DVB) with acrylonitrile (AN)
followed by aminating with tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA). Scanning electronic microscope
nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms at 77 K
and thermogravimetry (TG) were employed to characterize the surface structure
porosity
and thermal stability of the solid amine adsorbent. Factors that could determine the CO
2
adsorption performance of the solid amine adsorbent
such as amine species
adsorption temperature and moisture
were investigated. The experimental results showed that the maximum adsorption capacity of CO
2
(1.87 mmol/g) wasachieved at 25 °C with CO
2
concentration of 10 vol%
the flow rate of 30 mL/min and TEPA as the organic amine. The solid amine adsorbent modified with TEPA (PAN-TEPA)
a longer chain amine among all amines used
showed superior amine efficiency and CO
2
adsorption capacity to the other two amine species with shorter chains. CO
2
adsorption capacity decreased obviously as the adsorption temperature increased
because the reaction between CO
2
and amine groups was an exothermic reaction. The presence of water could significantly improve CO
2
amount adsorbed on the adsorbent by promoting the chemical adsorption of CO
2
on PAN-TEPA. A higher equilibrium adsorption capacity (2.97 mmol/g) was achieved in the presence of moisture. Meanwhile
the kinetics study found that Avrami kinetic model was more fitted to accurately describe CO
2
adsorption than the Pseudo-first and Pseudo-second order models
indicating that both physical adsorption and chemical adsorption were involved in CO
2
adsorption. Moreover
this solid amine adsorbent could be regenerated with nitrogen stream at 75 °C
and it kept stable CO
2
adsorption capacity after ten cycles of adsorption-desorption. All these features indicated that the amine-functionalized porous polyacrylonitrile resin has a high potential for CO
2
capture and separation from flue gas.
