Abstract

Activated carbon (AC) has been used widely as an agent for carbon dioxide (CO2) adsorption due to its environmentally friendly nature, low cost, high porous structure, high surface area and good mechanical properties. Modifications have been made to AC in order to enhance its adsorptive properties. In this study, the performance of activated carbon modified by hydrothermal treatment and impregnation techniques was compared using metal oxides. The prepared samples were characterized by different techniques using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The adsorption of CO2 was investigated using a CO2 adsorption unit, whereby 20% of CO2 gas was passed through the samples until a breakthrough point was achieved. During the adsorption study, it was found that AC that had been hydrothermally treated with cerium oxide (CeO2) had the highest adsorption capacity of 0.856 mmol/g with a breakthrough time of 19.33 min.
