A review on CO<sub>2</sub> capture over novel adsorbents: Progress in robust zeolite adsorbent development
Abstract
Indubitably, the combustion of fossils fuels has really hampered the preservation of the environment as it raises the content of CO2 in the atmosphere which consequentially results in global warming. Adsorption process remains the popular technique owing to its cost-effectiveness, faster reaction rates and flexible design. This review detailed the research progress in preparation of modified zeolite-based and novel adsorbents towards enhanced CO2 capture. In addition, the review presents an overview on available techniques of capturing CO2 and mechanism of reaction. Large surface area, distinctive mechanical characteristics and uniform dispersion of the exchangeable cations in the porous framework is prerequisite for high adsorption capacity and stability over zeolite materials. Novel nanostructured and polymeric zeolite composite materials seem promising because they offer solutions to energy-related problems while also contributing to environmental preservation. It is anticipated that this review could offer a conclusive roadmap in the pursuit of a cost-effective, industrially potent adsorbent suited for enhance CO2 capture.
