The obtained adsorbents were tested for CO2 adsorption with a mixture of CO2/N2 having 5�15 CO2 using a fixed bed adsorption column at atmospheric pressure. A maximum adsorption capacity of 2.87 mmol/g was achieved for the sample with degree of grafting of 300 and degree of amination of 94 at feed concentration of 15 at 30 °C. This was accompanied by good mechanical characteristics and a very high amine efficiency that reached 75 at room temperature, suggesting that the obtained fibrous adsorbent has high potential for CO2 adsorption. © 2018 Elsevier Ltd publisher: Elsevier Ltd date: 2019 type: Article type: PeerReviewed identifier: Abbasi, A. and Nasef, M.M. and Kheawhom, S. and Faridi-Majidi, R. and Takeshi, M. and Abouzari-Lotf, E. and Choong, T.
