Abstract
Carbon dioxide adsorption was carried out using a specific bio-adsorbent. The bio-adsorbent was prepared from corncobs. In the present study attempt was made to prepare, characterize and to develop low cost adsorbent. The structure and physical characteristics were outlined and described in details after defining the activated carbon. Moreover, surface modification of the prepared activated carbon was carried out using Methyl diethanol amine (MDEA) solution with impregnation ratio 0.4. Different Characterizations technique like Proximate Analysis, Ultimate Analysis, BET, and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) of adsorbents were studied extensively in order to predict the composition, surface area, porosity and surface topography. The experimental work is focused on removal of CO2 gas using prepared activated carbon and amine impregnated activated carbon. From the experiment it has been seen that the adsorption capacity of Methyl diethanol amine impregnated activated carbon is much more than simple activated carbon. Thus, the given activated carbon prepared from corncob impregnated with MDEA in a ratio 0.4 can be extensively used for the removal of CO2 from industrial flue gases.
