The uptake of CO2 using aliphatic di-amines (H2N(CH2)2NH(CH2) 3Si(OMe)3 (I) and CH3(CH2)2NH(CH2) 2NH2 (II) was studied. They were able to capture 1 mole of CO2 per mole of amine. Their behavior was compared with that of MEA used at industrial level in the same reaction conditions. Differently from MEA, 1 mole of CO2 per mole of amine was uptaken by amines I and II. The amine I afforded an intra-molecular carbamate. The di-amines converted into a xerogel were more efficient than liquid amines or amine solutions in water or organic solvents for capturing CO2 from a gas mixture.
