Preparation of Amino-Modified PAN Fibers with Triethylenetetramine as Aminating Reagents and Their Application in CO2 Adsorption

الملخص EN

Amino-modified polyacrylonitrile (AMPAN) fiber was synthesized by the reaction of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fiber and triethylenetetramine (TETA) in the presence of water.

The effect of water amount, reaction temperature, and time on the weight increase degree and alkali content of the AMPAN fiber was investigated in detail.

The characterization results indicated that TETA could be grafted onto the surface of PAN fiber by this method.

However, the highest adsorption capacity of the AMPAN fibers was only 0.09 g/g even at 15 bar and 50°C, which was much lower than the porous materials.

The reason for this result may be related to its low surface area.
