Stable immobilized amine sorbents for removal of an organic contaminate from wastewater

The present disclosure relates to a method for the removal of organic contaminates from wastewater. The method comprises contacting wastewater comprising water and an organic contaminate with a basic immobilized amine sorbent, where the basic immobilized amine sorbent comprises a polyamine bound to an inorganic support via a linker, such that contacting the wastewater causes at a least a portion of the organic contaminate to bind to the basic immobilized amine sorbent.

Alkylamine Incorporation in Amidoxime Functionalized Polymers of Intrinsic Microporosity for Gas Capture and Separation

Amidoxime functionalized polymers of intrinsic microporosity (PIMs) are synthesized from postsynthetic functionalization of PIM‐1 with hydroxylamine and processed into chemisorbents with alkylamine incorporation. Strong interaction between functionalized PIM‐1 and primary amines is characterized in detail by diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) study. As‐prepared sorbents not only show the highest CO 2 uptake capacity (37.9 cm 3 g −1 at 0.15 bar and 298 K) recorded in reported PIMs, but they also demonstrate tunable, processable, and stable polymeric sorbent design, which can be nanoengineered for other gas capture and separation applications.

Pelletized immobilized amine sorbent for CO2 capture

The disclosure describes a pelletized sorbent comprising a first component comprising Basic Immobilized Amine Sorbent, a second component comprising inorganic strength additive, and a third component comprising polymer binder, where the Basic Immobilized Amine Sorbent and solid inorganic strength additive are interconnected by the polymer binder. The pelletized sorbent is useful for removing CO2 from a gaseous mixture such as a post combustion gas stream.
