Abstract

The rising CO 2 concentration has prompted the quest of innovative tools to reduce its effect on the environment. A comparative adsorption study using sustainable low-cost date pits-derived activated carbon and molecular sieve has been carried out for CO 2 separation. The adsorb ents were characterized for surface area and morphological properties. The outcomes of flow rate, temperature and initial adsorbate concentration on adsorption performance were examined. The process effectiveness was investigated by breakthrough time, adsorbate loading, efficiency, utilized bed height, mass transfer zone and utilization factor. The immensely steep adsorption response curves demonstrate acceptable utilization of adsorbent capability under breakthrough condition. The adsorbate loading 73.08 mg/g is achieved with an 0.938 column efficiency for developed porous activated carbon at 298 K. The reduced 1.20 cm length of mass transfer zone with enhanced capacity utilization factor equal 0.97 at 298 K with C in = 5% signifies better adsorption performance for date pits-derived adsorbent. The findings recommend that produced activated carbon is greatly promising to adsorb CO 2 in fixed bed column under continuous mode.
