Non-Porous versus Mesoporous Siliceous Materials for CO₂ Capture.

ABSTRACT: In this study, the adsorption properties of a Stöber silica-based material towards CO₂ were evaluated for the first time. The use of Stöber silica as support is interesting for real technological applications mainly due to economic factors. Furthermore, a direct comparison between the non porous Stöber sample with an ordered porous material (based on MCM-41 silica) allowed to evaluate the effect of the porosity on the CO₂ adsorption properties. In order to make silica materials reactive towards CO₂, they were functionalized by introducing amino groups via grafting of 3-[2-(2-aminoethyl)aminoethyl]aminopropyltrimethoxysilane. After a qualitative study of the CO₂ adsorption, the quantitative determination of CO₂ adsorption capacity at 35
