in Wiley InterScience (www.interscience.wiley.com).The removal of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) from industrial emissions has become essential in the fight against climate change. In this study, we employed Zeolite 13X for the capture and recovery of CO 2 in a flow through system where the adsorbent was subjected to five adsorption-desorption cycles. The influent stream contained 1.5% CO 2 at standard conditions. The adsorbent bed was 1 in. in length and 1 in. 3/8 in dia., and was packed with 10 g of the zeolite. Temperature swing adsorption (TSA) was employed as the regeneration method through heating to approximately 135 8C with helium as the purge gas. The adsorbent capacity at 90% saturation was found to decrease from 78 to 60g CO 2 /kg Zeolite13X after the fifth cycle. The CO 2 capture ratio or the mass of CO 2 adsorbed to the total mass that entered the system decreased from 63% to only 61% after the fifth cycle. The CO 2 recovery efficiency ranged from 82 to 93% during desorption, and the CO 2 relative recovery, i.e., CO 2 desorbed for the nth cycle to CO 2 adsorbed for the first cycle, ranged from 88 to 68%. The service life of the adsorbent was determined to be equal to eleven cycles at a useful capacity of 40g CO 2 /kg Zeolite13X .
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
