FUNCTIONALISED POSS BASED HYBRID SILICA MATERIALS AS HIGHLY EFFICIENT REGENERABLE SORBENTS FOR CO2 CAPTURING

摘要

The present invention pertains to the field of development of sorbents for the regenerative removal of CO2, and more specifically relates to a functionalized polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) based hybrid silica as regenerable sorbent materials for CO2 removal from dilute and ultra-dilute environments, and a method for their production. The invention is very much useful in the regenerative removal of CO2 from different environments ranging from closed habitats like space craft crew cabin, submarines and in the treatment of industrial effluent gases.
