Carbon capture has been a highly sought-after technology for decades because of its<br/>capabilities to restore atmospheric damage done by greenhouse gasses. Thanks to evolving<br/>separation techniques, carbon capture is becoming more efficient with every new discovery in<br/>the field. Currently the biggest problems that carbon capture are facing is the cost of<br/>manufacturing material to aid the process and obtaining ideal conditions for removal of carbon<br/>from air and devising solutions for removal of CO2 in ambient and flue gas conditions.<br/>This Honors Thesis is a continuation of Dr. Shuguang Deng and Dr. Mai Xu’s research<br/>initiative to manufacture and test various zeolitic CO2 removal efficiencies. The goals of this<br/>Honors Thesis are to investigate the adsorption/desorption kinetics and isothermal equilibrium<br/>CO2 capacity of a NaX nanozeolite under ambient air conditions.<br/>What was determined from the following testing was that the zeolite of interest had a<br/>higher adsorption capacity of CO2 at lower temperatures, had a maximum equilibrium quantity<br/>adsorbed of 0.203 mmol/g for CO2 and 0.367 mmol/g of N2, had a maximum breakthrough CO2<br/>capacity of 0.101 mmol of CO2 per gram of zeolite at dry conditions and 298.15K and this<br/>linearly decreased to 0.040 mmol/g at 25% relative humidity.
