Microporous activated carbons with remarkably high CO2 uptake have been synthesized using polyur-ethane (PU) commercial foams as precursors. The PU samples were pyrolyzed at different temperatures in N2 atmosphere and chemically activated with KOH. Adsorption isotherms at 0 degrees C and 25 degrees C and immer-sion calorimetry were applied to provide a deeper knowledge about the most relevant factors implied in CO2 capture process explaining, hence, the values of adsorption obtained. CO2 adsorption uptakes reached values of 7.4 mmol/g at 0 degrees C, 5.0 mmol/g at 25 degrees C and 2.7 mmol/g at 50 degrees C. The remarkably high values of CO2 uptake are closely related with the BET specific surface area of the carbon foams but also with the high volume of narrow micropores all the samples present a high volume of micropores (be-tween 0.59 and 0.71 cm3/g) as also confirmed by immersion calorimetry.(c) 2023 Elsevier Ltd.
