Abstract
Based on the solvothermal method to synthesize Mg-MOF-74, the amino-functionalized Mg-MOF-nNH2 was prepared through addition of amino-containing ligands. Physicochemical properties of Mg-MOF-nNH2 materials were well characterized by Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), Scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), N2 adsorption/desorption isotherms (BET). The adsorption properties of the resulting materials were studied for CO2. In all the samples, the micropore volume of Mg-MOF-1/8NH2 was 0.46 cm3 g−1 and the specific surface area was 924.19m2 g−1, the highest CO2 saturated adsorption capacity was 3.9 mmol g−1, and the dynamic adsorption capacity was 1.27 mmol g−1. The adsorption processes agreed well with the Langmuir isotherm and Avrami model.
