Assessment on the Synthesis and Performance of Low-Cost Chitosan-Coated Natural Zeolite Adsorbent for Post-Combustion Carbon Dioxide Capture

Article Preview

Abstract:

An adsorbent for post-combustion carbon dioxide capture was prepared using low-cost and sustainable natural zeolite coated with chitosan. An optimum adsorbent was identified from 3 levels of particle size of natural zeolite and 10 levels of chitosan loading. The optimum adsorbent was characterized using infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, thermal gravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry. The chemical and thermal properties of the adsorbent indicated successful coating of chitosan on natural zeolite. The adsorbent registered competitive dynamic adsorption capacity of 0.81 mmol g-1 with good retention, at least, up to 5 adsorption-desorption cycles.
