Carbon Dioxide Separation from Methane Using Covalent Organic Polymer Adsorbent

In 21st century, many industrial area in the world trying to produce the technology which is low cost, easier to handle and user friendly. Basically this Final Year Project’s objectives are to synthesis and characterize Covalent Organic Polymer as adsorbent for removal of carbon dioxide from methane. Besides that, the new synthesis Covalent Organic Polymer will be investigate its capturing ability in ambient condition. Previous research on the adsorbent for the capturing carbon dioxide had been widely executed. But there are different problem with different materials used. Metal based adsorbent had the problem with its weight thus polymer based is chosen to overcome weight problem. Besides that, use of amine solvent as the material had the flaws on its recyclability of the solvent. Thus, Covalent Organic Polymer has a great potential to overcome this problem. The scope of study of this project will covered the synthesis of new Covalent Organic Polymer, Characterization of new develop polymer and test the ability of material to capture carbon dioxide. For the characterization of this new polymer will use FTIR, SEM, TGA and BET.
