Abstract: The method includes mixing an aldehyde and a first solvent to form a mixture. The method further includes mixing an organosulfur phenol and an aromatic compound to the mixture to form a phenol mixture and heating the phenol mixture in the presence of an acid to form a solid. The solid is dried to obtain the cross-linked porous polymer. The obtained cross-linked porous polymer has repeat pyrrole units bonded to one another, and the cross-linked porous polymer has a thiol group which separates non-adjacent pyrrole units. The cross-linked porous polymer obtained after drying is in a form of solid particles having a spherical particle structure.

Abstract: A method of fixating carbon dioxide (CO2) to a substituted oxazolidinone. The method includes mixing a metal-organic framework (MOF), a co-catalyst, at least one para-substituted aromatic amine, and at least one epoxide to form a mixture. The method further includes contacting the mixture with a gas stream containing CO2 to react the CO2 in the gas stream with the epoxide and para-substituted aromatic amine to form a substituted oxazolidinone mixture. The MOF is a UiO-66-X MOF, where X is of formula (I) wherein at least one of R1 to R4 is an allyloxy group, and R1 to R4 are independently an allyloxy group or a hydrogen.

Abstract: Crosslinked polymers made up of polymerized units of phenothiazine, pyrrole, and aldehyde. The crosslinked polymers are porous with a BET surface area in the range of 300-600 m2/g. A method of synthesizing the crosslinked polymers is described. Processes for using the crosslinked polymers as adsorbent materials for adsorbing gases (e.g. CO2 capturing), and separating fluid mixtures under dry and wet conditions are also introduced.

Abstract: An amine-functionalized, crosslinked porous copolymer can be synthesized by linking 1,4-benzenediamine and pyrrole with p-formaldehyde in the presence of concentrated hydrochloric acid catalyst. The polymer is permanently microporous, with a BET surface area of 250 to 350 m2/g. Due to the high concentration of polar amines within its backbone, the polymer exhibits a CO2 uptake of 17.5 to 30 cm3/g at 298 K and 1 bar, but demonstrated a remarkably high selectivity for CO2 over N2 at 298 K. Dynamic breakthrough experiments indicate that this material is an effective adsorbent for selectively separating CO2 from a dry and wet gas mixture containing N2 for over 45 cycles without significant loss of performance. Furthermore, the polymer can be regenerated at room temperature after each cycle by a simple N2 flow.
