The gas separation is a very expensive step in the chemical industry and unquestionable relevance. In this work, was verified the efficiency of the use of type A-zeolites in the separation of CO2 in a gas mixture containing 25% CO2, 4% O2 and 71% N2. These concentrations are similar to the effluent gases from combustion processes. To this end, was synthesized type A-zeolites using commercial kaolin and mounted to an adsorption column to test the effectiveness of zeolites in the adsorption of CO2. The synthesized zeolites had surface area equal to 66.22 m2/g. The CO2 concentration was determined by gas chromatography with TCD detector. After adjusting the data to the Langmuir model, it was obtained the kinetic parameters of adsorption. Based on these parameters was found the ability of the zeolite to adsorb CO2, using a column of 0.461285 mg/g. The adsorption results have proved promising and showed maximum adsorption of 78.4% after a time of 10 seconds.
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.
