Abstract

This study evaluates the potential of modified polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) materials, which incorporate organotin moieties pendant on the polymeric chains, as media for carbon dioxide storage. The PMMA containing a triphenyltin moiety has the largest specific surface area (SBET=11.618 m2/g) in comparison to the polymers containing tributyl (5.287 m2/g) and trimethyl (4.881 m2/g) residues. The PMMA with the triphenyltin moiety proved to be the most efficient material in capturing carbon dioxide (34.8 cm3/cm, 6.8 wt%), which is attributed to its relatively high surface area and pore volume and diameter compared to the others.
