Activated carbon honeycomb monolith - Zeolite 13X hybrid system to capture CO2 from flue gases employing Electric Swing Adsorption

ESA experimental cycles were tested. Purity of 46.6% was obtained while capturing 81.4% of the fed CO2 with a six-step ESA cycle. The obtained purity means an enrichment of the feed stream of 5.8 times. The experimental energy consumption is still high due to the mass transfer zone limitations. Solving this problem will allow decreasing the energy consumption more than five times which means that the process can present competitive energy consumption when compared with existing technology.
