Abstract
Zeolites exhibit significant potential as porous materials for selective carbon dioxide (CO2) capture, leveraging their distinctive adsorption properties. However, the presence of moisture (H2O) and sulfur dioxide (SO2) in flue gas streams can significantly affect the efficiency of CO2 capture. This study investigates the CO2 adsorption characteristics of zeolites FAU 5A and LTA 13X, revealing the competitive adsorption mechanism between H2O(g), SO2, and CO2. The zeolites exhibit CO2 adsorption capacities of 93.19 mg/g and 95.80 mg/g for 5A and 13X, respectively, and demonstrate good regeneration potential. Metal cations correlated positively with CO2 adsorption. H2O(g), SO2, and CO2 exhibit a competitive adsorption relationship, with H2O(g) having the highest adsorption capacity, followed by SO2 and CO2. Additionally, the synergistic effect of SO2 and H2O(g) on CO2 adsorption is elucidated. These findings provide valuable insights into the competitive adsorption behavior of moisture and SO2 for CO2 capture using zeolites LTA 5A and FAU 13X, contributing to the development of more efficient CO2 capture processes and the design of tailored adsorbents for industrial applications.
