| Summary: | Recent advancement in CO2 capture technology showed a promising trend in the
development of covalent organic polymer (COP) adsorbent for CO2 capture. Although
the COP adsorbent is very robust with high CO2 uptake, it suffers a major drawback
of long synthesis time. Thus, this study investigates the possibility of reducing the
synthesis time via the application of microwave reaction system while maintaining the
desired characteristics of the covalent organic polymer adsorbent. Here a series of
COP-4 adsorbents (COP-4A, B, C, D, and E) are synthesized at various synthesis
temperature and synthesis time. Initial findings showed that microwave method has
successfully synthesised the COP-4B adsorbent within 4 hours, thus reducing the
synthesis time from 12 hours to 4 hours. Greater reduction in synthesis time was
observed at elevated synthesis temperatures. The characterisation results of these
COP-4 adsorbents showed strong agreement with reported literature. |
