Carbon dioxide, adsorption/storage capture

Microporous materials have been proved to have the potential application in gas storage and separation by physical adsorption during last decades [46]. Such application is usually based on the presence of a large permanent surface area, suitable pore size distribution, and suitable enthalpy of adsorption between micropore and gas molecules of porous sorbents. Recent research revealed that microporous materials are considered as potential carbon capture media due to their relatively weak physical interaction with carbon dioxide, which renders the recovery of the gas and recycling of the sorbent less energy...

Global warming is a serious environmental issue. The technology for selective capture and immobilization of carbon dioxide (CO2), which is the main greenhouse gas, is required today. Adsorption-based processes can help to develop this. Some studies have raised the possibility of zeolites and activated carbons as candidates for adsorbent materials to achieve the separation and storage of CO2, but they are not...
