Abstract: Efficient and viable carbon capture technology is a panacea to sustainable use of fossil fuel with less discharge of carbon dioxide to the environment. This research work investigates the kinetics of reaction between carbon dioxide (CO2) and aqueous suspension solutions of mono-dispersed polyacrylate particles containing amine group using stopped flow technique. Two types of suspensions of mono dispersed aminated polyglycidylmethacrylate particles, poly(GMA) were synthesized: non-porous mono dispersed aminated particles, (NPGMA) and porous mono dispersed aminated particles, (PGMA). The dispersion polymerization process was applied to experimentally synthesize the polymer particles, poly(GMA) of average size 2μm in a glass sealed cylindrical reactor. The epoxy group on the micro surface was reacted with ammonia and become covalently attached to the primary amine group on the micro surface. The particles in colloidal suspensions were respectively reacted with CO2 in aqueous solution at 2

Abstract: In this study activated carbon (AC) was prepared from raw date’s fronds (RDFs) of Saudi palm trees through a single step chemical activation method using H3PO4, KOH and ZnCl2. The effects of different parameters such as, concentrations, carbonization temperature and carbonization time (dwell time), on the BET surface area of ACs were studied. The raw date’s frond charcoal (RDFC) and ACs were characterized by Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), nitrogen adsorption Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The highest BET surface area 1901 m2g-1, 1581 m2g-1 and 607 m2g-1 were obtained at optimum condition of 60 % H3PO4, ZnCl2 and 40% KOH concentration respectively at 400oC carbonization temperature for 3 h carbonization time.
