Abstract

Mg, Co-substituted aluminophosphate zeolites with ERI framework topology (denoted as MgAPO-ERI and CoAPO-ERI) have been synthesized under hydrothermal conditions by using N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyl-1,6-hexanediamine as organic template. Their CO 2 adsorption properties are investigated in comparison to those of the pure aluminophosphate counterpart AlPO-ERI. CoAPO-ERI shows the highest CO 2 uptake of 57.3 cm 3 g -1 (273 K and 1 bar) and the highest isosteric heat of 39.0 kJ mol -1 among the three samples. Importantly, the incorporation of Mg 2+ and Co 2+ ions in the framework of AlPO-ERI can greatly improve the adsorption selectivities of CO 2 over CH 4 and N 2 . Whereafter, transient breakthrough simulations were investigated and further proved the advantages of heteroatoms for separations. These results demonstrate that isomorphous heteroatom substitutions in aluminophosphate zeolites play a key role in enhancing CO 2 adsorption and separation abilities.
