Synthesis and Characterization of Covalent Organic Polymer (COP-1) Adsorbent for Carbon Dioxide Capture

Carbon dioxide (CO2) capture from natural gas at high pressure conditions with high CO2 capture ability as well as high selectivity of CO2 over CH4 at low cost remains a major challenge. Recently, covalent organic polymer (COP-1), an adsorbent discovered by Patel (2012) reports the highest carbon di...
