The book Porous Materials for Carbon Dioxide Capture is aimed at providing researchers with the most pertinent and up-to-date advances related to the fields of porous materials design and fabrication and subsequent evaluation in innovative cyclic CO2 adsorption processes, with special emphasis on uncovering the relationships between structural characteristics and CO2 capture performance. The book is divided into seven chapters that provide a resume of the current state of knowledge of porous CO2 capture materials, which include ionic liquid-derived carbonaceous adsorbents, porous carbons, metal-organic frameworks, porous aromatic frameworks, microporous organic polymers, sorption techniques such as cyclic calcination and carbonation reactions, and membrane separations.

The MIL-53 (M ) systems, owing to their remarkable framework flexibility coupled with promising gas adsorption properties, have received enormous attention from researchers. Xu et reported Mn(II)-based structural analogues of MIL-53 and investigated their usage in adsorption and separation of C6 C8 aromatics in SC-SC manner. Using evacuated porous MIL-53(Mn(II)) [17] as an absorbent, the authors observed that only C6-C7 molecules can be intercalated from a mixture of benzene, toluene, xylenes, ethylbenzene, and chlorobenzene...
