Abstract

Triamine-grafted pore-expanded mesoporous silica (TRI-PE-MCM-41) exhibited high CO₂ and H₂S adsorption capacity as well as high selectivity toward acid gases versus CH₄. Unlike physical adsorbents such as zeolites and activated carbons, the presence of moisture in the feed enhanced the CO₂ removal capability of RI-PE-MCM-41 without altering its H₂S adsorption capacity. Thus, depending on the feed composition, CO₂ and H₂S may be removed over TRI-PE-MCM-41 simultaneously or sequentially. These findings are suitable for acid gas separation from CH₄-containing mixtures such as natural gas and biogas.
