Efficiency increase in hypercrosslinked polymer based on polystyrene in CO2 adsorption process

In this investigation, a hypercrosslinked polymer based on polystyrene as an adsorbent was used for CO2 adsorption. Design of experiment with response surface methodology is considered to optimize the synthesis parameters for obtaining the maximum carbon dioxide adsorption capacity. The independent parameters including the crosslinker amount (mmol), synthesis time (h) and catalyst type (FeCl3 and AlCl3) and adsorption capacity (mg/g) are...
