CO2 Capture via Adsorption Using Silica Gel

Abstract

This paper investigates the potential of silica gel as an effective adsorbent for CO₂ capture. The study explores the adsorption mechanisms, the efficiency of CO₂ uptake, and some factors influencing the adsorption capacity of silica gel. The experimental results demonstrate the significant potential of silica gel for CO₂ adsorption under various conditions. The adsorption capacity was found to be highly dependent on parameters such as gas flow rate and the particle size of silica gel. The findings suggest that with optimized conditions, silica gel could be a viable material for reducing atmospheric CO₂ levels. This research contributes to the development of sustainable and efficient technologies for mitigating climate change through carbon dioxide capture and storage.
