To prevent CO

accumulation in the atmosphere generated from scorching of fossil fuels

carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) technology is considered as a potential route to mitigate the emissions of CO

from reaching the atmosphere. Power generation from sources such as gas

coal and biomass can fulfill the energy demand more readily than many other sources of electricity production. Thus these sources may be retained as important alternative option in the global energy cycle. In order to curtail CO

porous aramid network was fabricated by the condensation of 1

5-benzenetricarbonyl trichloride and 1

3-phenylenediamine in 1

4-dioxane solvent. Aramid was characterized for various analyses including FTIR

XRD

TGA

BET surface area and pore size analysis

FESEM and CO

adsorption measurements. Excellent thermal stability was provided by strong amide linkages in the polymer backbone. Optimum CO
