Direct Air Capture of CO2 Using Faujasite Structured Zeolite

In contrast to conventional carbon capture systems that capture CO₂ from large stationary point sources such as power plants, the ability to capture CO₂ from atmospheric air has been studied in this study. This presentation will include an experimental analysis of CO₂ capture and concentration from ambient air using temperature swing adsorption (TSA) and vacuum temperature swing adsorption (VTSA) as a means to capture and effectively reduce the amount of CO₂ in the atmosphere. Commercially available faujasite structured zeolites have been screened using gravimetric analysis and breakthrough experimentation to determine which adsorbent would be the best for a direct carbon capture plant from air.
