Abstract

MgO/MCM-41 materials with weak basic sites were synthesized by dispersing MgO onto mesoporous Si-MCM-41. Such MgO-modified MCM-41 materials were characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), temperature programmed desorption (TPD), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and N₂ adsorption/desorption measurements. The results indicated that the surface area, pore size and pore volume of the materials decreased with the introduction of MgO. Their CO₂ uptakes could be significantly improved when the MgO loading was increased from 0 wt% to 20 wt%. CO₂-TPD and in situ FT-IR measurements showed that the materials possessed weak basic sites which could react with CO₂ to form bicarbonate species and thereby improve the CO₂ uptake. As a result, the adsorbed CO₂ could be desorbed completely from the sample at 200 °C. In addition, the MgO/MCM-41 materials had a high thermal stability and showed promising performances in practical applications.
