Abstract
Polysaccharide aerogels exhibit outstanding properties for many applications including gas filters. Due to relatively high surface areas, mesoporosity and the presence of amine groups, chitosan-based aerogels can be used as potential CO2 adsorbents in environmental control systems (ECS). For this application, the chitosan backbone was chemically modified by grafting different molecules onto the amine groups which was carried out either in the solution state, in the gel state or in the gas phase. Within this presentation we will report on chitosan-based gel bead production by the JetCutter, a mechanical cutting machine with high throughput. The sizes of beads were varied between 0.5 and 2 mm in order to produce filter material. Sodium hydroxide solution was used as regeneration bath. After several washings with water and isopropanol, supercritical CO2 drying was applied for aerogel production. The CO2 adsorption capacity was characterized at low CO2 partial pressures by dynamic breakthrough measurements using CO2/N2 mixtures. Desorption of CO2 from chitosan aerogel beads was investigated under nitrogen gas flow at different temperatures. The moisture adsorption capacity was measured using humidified nitrogen gas flow. Nitrogen sorption measurements were performed for the evaluation of specific surface area and pore size distribution. Scanning electron microscopy images showed an interconnected nanofibrillar structure and shell like composition of the aerogel beads. FTIR measurements confirmed the successful chemical modification of the chitosan backbone. Chitosan-based aerogel materials can be potential candidates for CO2 filters in ECS as the chemical modification can enhance the CO2 adsorption and the regeneration can be achieved at reasonable temperatures.
