“…2,26 Zeolites are crystalline, aluminosilicate microporous materials that have a proven track record of use in industry for catalysis, adsorption and separation. 27,28 A few of the important features of zeolites for CO 2 capture are: 11,29 (1) zeolites have been successfully commercialized for applications in catalysis and separation that can function under harsh conditions, 30,31 (2) CO 2 molecules are primarily/exclusively physisorbed in zeolites, thus providing potential for high recyclability at low temperatures, (3) the adsorption kinetics of zeolites are typically faster than chemisorbents, 32 (4) high selectivity of CO 2 is possible with zeolites (depending on the make-up of the other components) due to tunable CO 2 -zeolite interaction and molecular sieving effects, 33,34 (5) high adjustability for adsorption properties due to the abundance of cation exchangeable sites in their pore networks. 11 As such, zeolites are promising sorbents for post-combustion capture and air pre-purification, and are either in use or being explored in a number of applications including air quality in the international space station (ISS), 11,[35][36][37] post-combustion processes 38 and DAC.…”
