Abstract

The adsorption characteristics of $CO_2$ gas on impregnated activated carbons with MEA (Mono-ethanolamine) and AMP (2-Amino 2-methyl 1-propanol) were studied to improve the adsorption ability of $CO_2$ gas on activated carbon. The equilibrium adsorption capacity of $CO_2$ gas was increased by increment of impregnation concentration up to 40 %, but decreased above 50 %. The adsorption capacity of activated carbon impregnated with AMP was higher than activated carbon impregnated with MEA. The breakthrough was fast according to increment of inlet concentration of $CO_2$ gas.
